The Top Trends in Kids' Room Design
Kids' rooms are the embodiment of the word "fun," and they have evolved from simply being a place to sleep and play into an exciting environment that reflects the personality of your child. Here are a few of the hottest trends in kids' room design.

Bold patterns and bright colors
The trend is to use bold patterns and bright colors. The best way to pull this off is by choosing a color palette that will work with your space, and then adding contrasting elements such as bright paint or wallpaper on one wall.
Storage solutions
If you have a child who has too many toys, it's time to consider adding some storage solutions. You can add a shelf or two in their room so they can store all their toys neatly out of sight and out of mind. A closet is another great way to keep things organized. You can even add shelving inside and make it into an extra walk-in closet for your kids!
Statement-making beds
Bedrooms are the centerpiece of a room and thus should be a focal point, so it makes sense that beds are often the most important design element in a bedroom. And while we're not saying that you need to go out and buy your kid an $8,000 bed (although they're super cool), there's no reason why your child's bed can't be as bold and statement-making as the rest of their room.
"Smart" technology
Having a child with a smart device is like having your own personal assistant. You can use it to adjust the lights, music and temperature of their room from anywhere you have internet access. You can also monitor their activities via location tracking or set up geofences around the house so that if they leave without telling you, you’ll be notified immediately.
Multifunctional design
The latest kids' room design trends are all about multifunctional furniture, and it's no wonder. The more you can do with your space, the better. Kids' rooms are no exception to this rule, and they benefit from having furniture that can be used as a bookcase or desk, while also providing storage for toys and clothes.
Splashes of color
Color is a great way to add personality and energy to any space, so it's no surprise that many kids' rooms are getting colorful makeovers. The biggest trend we're seeing is the use of splashes of color throughout the room.
Dedicated play space
This is a big trend, and it makes perfect sense. Kids need a space where they can be kids. Messy, active, loud, and not worry about damaging the rest of the room. One idea is to set up an area with a play table or two (or three) that are just for playing with toys and drawing activities.
