Blue is a clear winner. More than half of the respondents (59 percent) said blue is a dominant color in the children’s bedrooms. Nearly one-third have selected white (31 percent) or gray (30 percent) as a dominant hue. Green and pink come in next (25 percent and 20 percent, respectively). Survey respondents could choose more than one color.
8. For sitting and sleeping. This is a smart bed for a room that only sometimes needs to accommodate a second child. Since there’s just one real bed, it’s often called a loft bed rather than a bunk bed. However, those big cushions on the floor can do double duty as both a cushy sofa for bedtime stories and a guest bed. A curtain made from a complementary fabric and suspended with a single telescoping curtain rod so that it covers the front of the lower level could make for a fun, fort-like experience for young children.
5. Crisscrossed. These aren’t conventional bunks, but the end result is still two beds, one above the other. One benefit of this setup is that both bunks have more privacy, especially from someone working at the built-in desk. The storage is impressive as well, with niches on both levels, a nightstand, closed cabinets and open shelves. These would be a real boon in a room with lots of clutter to stash. All in all, it’s a serious piece of custom cabinetry, but it may be the key to making your bedroom work.
Pro tip: If you’re not papering the walls, applying wallpaper that has your child’s favorite colors and shapes can be a great way to dress up mundane areas and nooks, such as the backs of bookcases and shelves.
1. Wallpaper can reflect a child’s favorite hobbies. One great way to thrill a child is to adorn her room with something she absolutely loves. Whether that thing is robots or butterflies, there’s a wallpaper that will speak to your child. I recommend actively engaging your child in the selection process. A strong opinion about a hobby or fascination might translate into a strong opinion about wallpaper.Wallpaper: Robots, Aimee Wilder
10. Star quality. This child’s room in Brooklyn, New York, features hits of bright orange, a natural fit for a home that is filled with bold color. A variety of patterns — stripes on the bed, posts on the bench seat, damask on the wallpaper — keeps the energy in the room high. The asymmetrical star above the bed provides a focal point and delivers the punch of a graphic comic book-style “Pow!”More5 Ways Wallpaper Can Personalize a Child’s Room9 Pro Tips to Create a Long-Lasting Kids’ RoomFind an interior designer to help design your kids’ spaces
JR: love secret / private space of top bed
6. Beanbag tent. The combination of the Dalmatian-print beanbag and airy canopy is the star feature of this sweet room, offering a child a small retreat for relaxation and privacy. Decorative flower-shaped string lights make the canopy feel even more special.Browse beanbag chairs in a range of colors
5. Study spot. This space features room for two to sleep plus a dedicated homework spot. The custom built-in loft bed-and-staircase design includes a bookcase, with room for school texts and decorative objects. The room’s color scheme is primarily white with hits of blush and black, complementing the neutral, mostly black-and-white palette used throughout the rest of the home.
7. Global focus. A map of the world gracing the wall of this child’s room in Moscow could be used to help a burgeoning global citizen understand where he or she lives in relation to the rest of the world. The room’s layout, with a daybed and upper cubbies against one wall and a desk against another, maximizes the floor area for playing.See more of this home from the Houzz Russia team
2. Swing seat. Instead of climbing the walls, how about sitting in a seat hung from the ceiling? This child’s bedroom in Lyon, France, features a chair suspended from a strong ceiling beam — it’s an ideal place for relaxing, dangling one’s legs and reading a good book. String lights bring a bit of twinkle to the ceiling beam and the room.Browse hanging chairs

Like the simplicity and pattern on the floor. Don’t love the gold or tile variation on the floor. May be too small of a tile for such a large space. JR: like floor but that’s about it.
