11 of my (current) favourite things to decorate kid's rooms

 I've always loved putting the boys rooms together, I think kids rooms are the most fun to do. There doesn't seem to be any rules. A comfy bed, good storage and space to play seems to be my top priorities when I'm thinking about their rooms. 

With 3 boys I think I've tried most "themes" and colour schemes over the years, I don't know if I'd know how to do a girls room. I know I'd want to use a lot of pink! ;) 

When I want to freshen things up a bit (without breaking the bank) in the boys rooms, a new pillowcase or print can make a huge difference.

I've put together 11 of my current favourite things to add that pop of fun to a child's room.

Take a look -

1. Messy Mouse Pillowcase

A new pillowcase always adds a fresh vibe to the bedroom. It can refresh your current linen and is also a cute and subtle way to bring in your child's favourite character.

2. Ice Cream Lamp

A fun decoration and also doubles as a night light/reading lamp

3. Feather Crown

Perfect for dress ups and celebrations but also looks pretty sitting on a shelf or hanging on the corner of a picture/print. An indian head dress is a cute idea for boys.

4. Cactus Print

I am loving anything cactus at the moment and this print is so cool and adds a bit of colour to a wall.

5. Play Mat

I love the neutral colours of this play mat. It would blend into any room and I love decor that also combines with imaginative play. Noah would love this to drive all of his matchbox cars on.

6. Krispy Dreme Pillowcase

This would ensure sweet dreams! It would work for both a boys or girls room. 

I love linen that can be swapped between rooms. I would use this myself.

7. Wooden Mountains

These look great on a shelf and would also add a little scenery to a game ;)

The neutral colours fit in with any colour scheme but they do come in other colours.

8 & 9. Wall Stickers from Sack Me

I love wall stickers! Such an easy way to change up a room. So easy to pop up and take down when you feel like something different. I love the illustrated bunny.

10. Ode Swan Animal Head

This is so gorgeous and girly and would look so pretty on the wall or over a bedhead.

11. Lion Tea towel 

I love framing tea towels and popping them on the wall as art. I love the colours and the message of this one. Look for something personal to you. Maybe your child's favourite animal. We have a tiger print in Noah's room as it was the first animal sound he knew.

Here are a few pics from Finn, Jasper and Noah's rooms -

I love browsing Pinterest for inspiration for kids rooms. I've popped a few favourites below-

Home Tour - Nursery of Van Vine via Tiny Tribe Magazine

Sophie and Dale Vine from The Block have designed the most creative and beautifully serene nursery for their new little boy Van.

I love the neutral colour scheme and the woodsy boho vibe.

Also how clever and adorable was their Birth Announcement?!

This is one of my favourite nurseries I have seen this year. I love that is is quite original and a little different than the usual kids rooms that you see.

What do you think?

Do you like the theme and colours used?
