Single Design Moves That Can Transform a Child’s Room

Did you know that there are hundreds of thousands of kids’ bedrooms on Houzz? From them I have picked these 20 rooms to illustrate the premise of this series: While it takes many design elements to make a room beautiful and embracing and functional, there is often one particular thing that really kicks it up a notch — gives it that something extra.


These rooms each have one outstanding touch that makes the child’s or children’s special place … special.



This cottage-y playhouse bed is the fanciful and spectacular centerpiece of this bedroom.Three of my four granddaughters would be in absolute rapture over this over-the-top creation. (The oldest, who is 10 going on 30, would sniff in disdain. But what does she know?)

But special touches need not break the bank. In fact, most of the things I am going to talk about are doable on a minimal budget, with a little bit of labor. Like the pink painted ceiling above. The ceiling is the perfect spot to make that special statement.



So is an accent wall — like the yellow one here. It completely transforms this Maine bedroom.
