Since I have recently finished a few children's rooms, I am in the mood to show you some amazingly beautiful little tyke spaces. I think the perfect child's room is one that isn't ever too juvenile; kids go through phases, and what they are "into" changes rapidly. Accents are easily changed, upholstery is not. Please don't decorate for your child's interests, but absolutely consider their personality. My daughter is outgoing, so I didn't give her a demure space. I also believe that the parents are the ones that pay for everything, so why shouldn't the children's rooms match the feel of the rest of the house? I don't mean to sound domineering on this point, but mom and dad work hard to create a beautiful home and the kids' rooms are a part of the home as a whole.
Here are my kids' rooms as they look now:
Gwenna's Room:
Britton's Room:
Kids' rooms can, and should, be special and timeless.
