Children’s rooms by their very nature are meant to be bright, colorful and fun. Looking for ways to bring creativity into a children’s bedroom space? Here are some top tips.

• Bedding. Bedding is a prime decor element and a key opportunity to infuse color prints and patterns.

• Citrus colors such as green, orange and yellow are both bright as well as gender neutral.

• Artwork is an opportunity to bring large-scale color into a children’s bedroom.

• Removable wall stickers provide an alternative to wallpaper and can be used to create an interesting accent wall.

• Portable play items such as hammocks offer fun play spaces, especially for young children.

• Shelving provides an opportunity for organization and display in children’s bedrooms. More great options are colorful bins and bags.

• Area rugs offer an opportunity to infuse texture and color into children’s rooms.

• Mix candy colors together if looking to create overall color that allows for a versatile scheme.

• Select neutral primary pieces such as beds and dressers and infuse color through elements such as artwork, area rugs and accessories.

• Re-purpose objects and decor in interesting ways. For example, use skateboards as shelving or a swing instead of a traditional seating or reading area.
