5 Tips for Creating a Stylish Kids Room

If you’ve been dreaming of a beautiful, functional space for your little one that feels like it’s straight out of a magazine, keep on reading! Annemarie, owner and founder of Hunter & Nomad, knows all about creating rooms that bring out the joy and personality of each child (having done many kids room make-overs for her three boys).


Here are 5 easy tips to help you create a stylish kids’ room that you (and your kids) will love.

Tip 1: Start with a Versatile Rug

The right rug can set the tone for the entire room! Choose a design that complements the theme and colour palette of the space. Our eco-friendly rugs are not only beautiful but also durable enough to withstand playtime, spills, and more.

Style Tip: Opt for our Grid Rug in Dusty Coral for a subtle pop of colour or our Dot Rugs like @leahwwilliams did in the picture below for a classic look and feel.

Tip 2: Choose a Playful Colour Palette.


Incorporate colours that make the room feel joyful yet calm. Think soft pastels or warm neutrals. Use accents like cushions, wall art, or even your child’s favourite toys to bring in splashes of bolder shades.



Style Tip: Our soon-to-arrive Soccer Rug is perfect for adding a touch of fun without overpowering the room. 

Tip 3: Incorporate Personal Touches.

Make the room feel truly special and comfortable with personal touches like framed drawings, favourite books, or photos. This adds warmth and makes the space feel uniquely theirs.


Style Tip: Add a gallery wall above the bed or create a comfy reading corner with our Scallop Rug as the perfect base. Check out @minnieandmeinteriors daughter's room with our soft pink Scallop Rug.


Tip 4: Get Creative with Storage.


Stylish storage can keep your child’s space tidy while adding character. Think woven baskets, wall shelves, or under-bed storage that blends seamlessly into the room’s décor.



Style Tip: Use basic storage baskets that you can personalise with stickers or use paint to create that customised look like @tegan_jean did.

Tip 5: Focus on Comfort

Last but not least I would say creating a comfortable space is key to make your child feel safe and happy. One of the best ways to achieve this is by layering different textures, like cushions, ottomans, and throws. These elements not only add warmth but also create a sense of depth and dimension in the room. 

Style Tip: Consider using neutral as a base, then layer with colourful accents to create a balanced look. I love how @bilinga_beach_abodes has layered her daughter's bed so beautifully. 

 

Designing a stylish kids’ room can be both fun and rewarding when you focus on the essentials like a durable rug, a playful yet calming colour palette, personal touches, smart storage, and comfort.

With these tips, you can create a space that not only looks beautiful but also feels like a welcoming retreat for your child. Whether it’s a cosy reading nook or a lively play area, Hunter & Nomad’s eco-friendly rugs are the perfect foundation for a room your little one will love for years to come.
