3 Little Ways to Cute Up Your Kids Room

Decorating a kids room can be a lot of fun, but if you’re design-concious you might be cringing at the overly bright plastic furniture and accessories available. Don’t worry, a kids room can be just as cute and stylish as the rest of your home! Check out these three quick and easy tips for adding some extra style to your kids rooms:

#1: Stylish Kids Room Furniture

Kids furniture can be just as stylish as adult furniture! Glam up your kids room with a mini sofa or chair as chic as the rest of your home. We love the whimsical-meets-traditional style of the child-sized pieces (like this beautiful tufted blue sofa) from Jennifer Delonge:

#2: Dress Up the Walls

There are many ways to add some color and style to your kid’s room walls. You could paint one solid color, paint in stripes, polka dots, or chevron pattern, hang whimsical wall art, or put up some cute patterned wallpaper. We love this cute elephant pattern from Tempaper for a kid’s room or nursery:

#3: Go Round With Your Kid’s Room Rugs

There’s nothing wrong with traditional rectangular rugs, but round rugs can add a unique and fun feel to a room. Round rugs are also perfect for smaller spaces and add a softness to the room that the hard angles of square and rectangle rugs don’t. Place them in the center of the kids room or have them peek out from underneath a crib.

Kids Room: Decorating with Dinosaurs

It’s funny how an animal that’s been extinct for thousands of years is still alive and well in the hearts of our children. Boys and girls alike are still fascinated by these gargantuan beasts, and so, as parents, we must be too. My youngest son is getting old enough now to be aware of his surroundings, and he’s completely obsessed with dinosaurs. It’s about time to start decorating his room like a boy’s room instead of the sweet nursery it’s been since he was born.

Since he loves dinosaurs so much I’ve been looking for some inspiration and found plenty! Check out these great dinosaur decorating ideas for kids rooms:

Of course I didn’t stop at inspiration! I went searching for some cute dinosaur accents I could use, too. I decided I didn’t want to go cartoon dinosaur, rather I’d prefer “upscale dinosaur”—if there is such a thing! Here are a few fun dinosaur-themed decor items I found that I thought looked nice:
