Creative Storage

With all of the toys, books, craft supplies, and stuffed animals that abound any child's room, finding the right storage solutions can be tricky. But storage in your kids' rooms doesn't have to be hidden away or relegated to ugly plastic boxes. By thinking a little outside of the (plastic) box, it's not hard to find fun and quirky ways of storing all of those essentials in a way that totally fits into the rest of the space.

This nursery decor is what dreams are made of. The soft colors and muted accents make this a comforting, peaceful space for baby. Avoiding the primary colors and cutesy animal decor you often see in nurseries turns this space into one that's just as much for the parents as it is for the child.

Lego Wall

You probably remember this Lego wall from the Barndominium episode of Fixer Upper. Joanna transformed one of the walls in this kids' bedroom into a great space for creativity, and even included a sliding ladder for easy access to the higher parts of the wall! It's an awesome way to encourage kids to be creative while saving a lot of floor space.

Room to Grow

One of Joanna's main goals with her kids' furniture line is to create spaces where kids can grow. If you're redesigning your child's room, consider opting for more sophisticated furniture and a larger-than-twin bed size. This room is playful and feminine, but doesn't skew too young so they can feel comfortable in their space for years to come.
