Living rooms, kitchens, and dining areas often become the focal points of family homes, designed primarily with adult preferences in mind. However, children's bedrooms present a unique and exciting opportunity to be imaginative and have fun with decorating. These spaces can serve multiple purposes beyond just being a place for your child to sleep—they can function as playrooms, study areas, and private retreats as your child grows. Since children's interests and needs evolve over time, it's important to design a room that can adapt to these changes. Thoughtful choices in color, furniture, accessories, and storage are crucial to creating a space that evolves with them.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed? Don’t worry! We’ve curated a fantastic collection of decorating ideas to inspire you and help you create the perfect room for your young family member.

In her son’s room at her Wiltshire cottage, Katharine Paravicini chose Howe wallpaper featuring 'Mr Men', paired with curtains in Soane's 'Scrolling Fern'. The rug, sourced from Mini Knots, and the bedcover, bought during a holiday in India, complete the look.

In Lisa Mehydene's Cotswold home, Ottoline’s ‘Improvisation 1’ wallpaper in red sets a vibrant tone for this playful child’s bedroom.

The twin bedroom in this Georgian home designed by Salvensen Graham is a delightful space featuring playful headboards by Alfred Newall. The cushions and blinds are from Flora Soames' ‘Cornucopia’, complemented by valances from Fermoie.

In an Arts and Crafts house in south London, interior designer Irene Gunter has maximized an awkward space by removing a dropped ceiling to reveal beams. An LED track inserted between the walls and pitched ceiling casts light upwards, while gold spot stickers from Amazon add a creative touch.

The nursery in this family home features the engaging red and white Vivienne Westwood wallpaper, which captivates small children far better than any mobile, according to interior designer Bunny Turner of Turner Pocock.

John McCall designed a dream attic bedroom for a little girl in London, featuring curved four-posters and voile hangings with a handmade pom-pom trim. The headboards and curtains are crafted from ‘Banyan’ green/pink linen by Bennison Fabrics.

In Queen's Park, Lonika Chande’s home showcases rich colors and patterns. Papier-mâché letters spell out Sasha’s name against ‘Alice in Wonderland’ wallpaper by CFA Voysey from Trustworth Studios. A Berber rug and woodwork painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘Picture Gallery Red’ add warmth and texture.

Nicola Harding designed a sophisticated children’s bedroom in a 19th-century London home, featuring ‘Sakura’ wallpaper in sky by Galbraith & Paul, a dark pink ‘St Bernard’ armchair from Howe, and custom-made headboards covered in fabric from Claremont. The room’s lighting includes a Pooky table lamp and wall lights by Felix Lighting Specialists.

This playful mural, inspired by one in Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle hotel in New York, serves as a dynamic backdrop in Beata Heuman's daughter’s room. Twin beds with half-tester canopies are cleverly positioned in alcoves, while a built-in chest of drawers extends into the wall behind the chimney breast.

In Katharine Paravicini’s Wiltshire cottage, a Feather & Black bed frame is complemented by a custom headboard in Ottoline's 'Tulips of Belgravia' fabric. A hand-painted tole lamp, sourced from India years ago, adds a unique touch.
