Sophisticated Kids' Spaces
Take Kids' Rooms to a New Level With Color, Simplicity, Wall Art and More

There is no disputing that discerning parents raise discerning kids. Kids are very opinionated little creatures, from fashion, to music, to what they eat, and even their bedroom's decor, they can tell you confidently their likes and dislikes. And if you miss the mark, you will never hear the end of it.
While these sophisticated kids think they have created the standard for their lifestyle, it is really the parents who have formed their perceptions through the life created for them. Next time your child makes specific request regarding his space, gauge your level of influence within that request. The findings may surprise you.

A sophisticated color palette allows a room to grow with your baby. The brown and beige color scheme is classic, while the stripes and punch of green makes it modern and fun.
This musical play space transports us to the '60s, but with a modern twist. Its diner-inspired furniture, mounted guitars and storage bins sporting the American flag and a union jack design suggests that pop music culture is alive and well in this house.
Immersed in sweet simplicity, this girl's bedroom creates a fresh perspective on designing with kids in mind. The restrained backdrop of crisp white and pale pinks makes way for stronger color in interchangeable accessories like the spirited striped area rug.
A clever storage idea such as this padded modular unit incorporates both art and function. The sorbet-hued cubbies provide the ideal amount of color for the structure and prevents it from overpowering the space.
Create a media room for your little socialite. With room to lounge and more to spare, your kids and their guests will be occupied for hours — just add popcorn. The best part about this room is that you know your kids are safe in the confines of your home.
Kids are much smarter than we think. Why not put the world at their fingertips — well, at least on the wall. Exposing them to geography gives them a much better perception of the world. It also doesn't hurt to have someone around who can help you find Uzbekistan on the map.
This basement playroom helps to expand your kids' imagination. You may not have an indoor rink, but this floor's stripes are cooler than ice.
This kids' bath with dual vanities is just a contemporary as mom and dad's. Open storage provides easy access to toiletries and houses colorful towels which also function as decor accents. Polka-dotted bath rugs complete the look for a bath that primed for good clean fun.
