Scalloped Shiplap

No Joanna Gaines style rundown would be complete without some shiplap. To give it a bit of a twist in your kids' bedrooms, try using some scalloped shiplap on an accent wall. This white shiplap pairs perfectly with the dusty rose walls and bed linens.

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.

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.
