Kids’ Room Design Ideas with Fun Wallpapers

Our Miami design team loves nothing more than designing bedrooms for kids. It is always so much fun! It gives us the opportunity to create room design ideas for kids that reflect their personality and provide them with a creative environment where they can play, rest and feel safe.

A child’s bedroom design should be upbeat and cheerful, full of vibrant colors and fun patterns to inspire the imagination and help creativity flow. Here are some Kids’ Room Essentials so you can get an idea of how we like to balance fun with functionality.

Using Wallpaper to Create the Vibe

Given the opportunity to create a space with fun and whimsical accents, we always turn to wallpaper to let our imagination run wild in a child’s bedroom. There is a wide variety available, with all kinds of creative designs and colors that pop. It’s a great way to set the tone for the rest of the room’s design.

Let’s start with the basics of using wallpaper in any residential setting. You can discover some of our favorite tips by reading this article: Decorating with Wallpaper.
