Fun, Kid-Friendly Decorating Ideas Adults Will Love, Too

From fun colors to crafty lighting to clever toy storage, this house is full of stylish ways to keep things kid-friendly.

Create a special spot for little ones to sleep with a cut-out bed nook. In short, frame a full-size bed with basic lumber, then create a whimsical wall with tongue-and-groove beadboard, caulk and glossy white paint. For an extra element of fun, wooden birdhouses were updated with decorative paper and outfitted with simple lighting kits for use as bedtime sconces.

Keep messy things hidden from sight with concealed or built-in storage solutions. In this sleeping space, a secret storage compartment sits just inches from the bed, thanks to a simple piano hinge which allows phone cords to charge without any visible outlets or plugs.

Stuck on what style of rug to choose for your kid-inclusive space? Well, it's smart to consider rugs with busy patterns or prints which not only infuse the space with personality, but the pattern will also help hide stains.
