1. Although Houzz users were torn about the gray color choice in this room, everyone agreed that these built-in bunk beds created a perfect setup. Building them into the walls not only makes the bunk beds sturdy and sound, but the configuration allows for plenty of space in the rest of the room.
2. These bunk beds are nestled into the corner in this room, taking advantage of what could have been awkward leftover space. Houzzers loved the built-in shelving and reading nooks with lamps on each headboard.
3. While this entire home was a huge hit on Houzz this year, users really loved this simple child's bedroom. The elevated bookshelf with a ladder was an especially popular touch. Users also liked the idea of making a built-in bed near a window with a view.
4. Doing an all-white nursery can be a little intimidating for new mothers, but Houzzers liked how this designer pulled it off. By layering textures and playing with reflective surfaces, the nursery feels warm and cozy, but still very clean.
5. Houzzers loved the adorable wall mural with built-in shelving in this space. Often, it can be a challenge to design a kids room with a theme that doesn't feel cheesy or over the top. While this design is simple, it's still playful and bright enough to cheer up a child's playroom.
6. Designing a teenager's room is usually a matter of balancing things your teenager wants now with a look that will last through high school. This teenage boys' room uses a fun and boyish brown-and-blue palette that will work for years to come. Custom built-ins around the bedframe can showcase knickknacks and trophies.
7. Houzz users loved the bold and girly design in this room. The wall and ceiling murals are stunning, and the bold pink bedding is the perfect shock of color.
8. Houzzers bookmarked this photo for its solution to the bunk-bed dilemma. Building the bunk beds in and keeping them clean and white means the rest of the room can be decorated in any style.
9. This boy's bedroom is full of easy and fun design ideas. Try adding different shades of blue to brighten up your son's room. The mix of the locker cabinet, checkerboard rug and bold blue walls makes this room fun without going overboard.
10. Pink is just as popular as ever in little girls' rooms, but purple is a close runner-up. Houzzers bookmarked this photo for the fantastic bed frame, glittery light fixture and all of the flowery touches throughout the room.
11. When designing a nursery, you want it to be a calm and soothing space (parents will be spending a lot of time in there). This nature-inspired wall mural has a very serene feel, but the green stripes and mix of textiles make the space feel contemporary and happy.
12. Houzzers loved the idea of putting a chic daybed in a nursery or toddler's room. Not only is it a great space for parents to relax while reading or playing with their child, but it can also be a good transition bed after the crib. Houzz users also bookmarked this photo for the kelly green textiles and the fun wall art.
13. While this room is stunning on its own, Houzzers bookmarked it for its smart use of Ikea cabinetry. By installing the cabinets on either side of this window space and framing them with drywall, the designer was able to make it look like they were built into the room.
14. Mixing chocolate brown with brighter colors was everywhere on Houzz this year. This designer mixed turquoise and lime green with brown for a colorful teenage girl's room. Houzzers loved the look, and wanted to know all about the matching products and accessories in this room.
15. Here's another great purple room, designed for a teenage girl. Houzzers loved the dress form in the corner and the bulletin board above the custom desk space.
16. If you're going to do a themed room for your teen or tween, it's best to keep it simple. This tennis-inspired room can easily be transformed into a guest room after college graduation with just a little paint.
17. The designer of this mod-style room went all out with color and design. The gray base paint keeps the look modern, but the accessories and accents give it a fun retro look that any teenage girl would love.
18. Houzzers bookmarked this photo for the smart daybed design in the corner of a room. The corner headboard and pillows mean that the bed can serve as a couch during the day. Take off all the pillows at night, and you have a comfy place to curl up and sleep.
19. This bed is the perfect solution for a room with slanted ceilings. A lot of teenagers move to the top of the house after they're done sharing a room — but it can be hard to work with the limited space a sloped roof provides. This built-in bed keeps a high ceiling above the bed itself, and there was room for a little bookshelf where the ceiling slopes.
20. A modern version of a bunkhouse, this room can fit as many as five kids — all with plenty of sleeping space. The designer worked with the long and narrow shape of the room by putting custom bunk beds against one wall and a crib and changing table on another.
