How many times have you poured over images on Pinterest, Instagram or design blogs and felt slightly envious of other peoples beautifully styled kids bedrooms/playrooms/nursery. I admit I am one such person. The ones I’m most drawn to are the ones where you can actually see items and decor details rather than them be lost in a sea of softs toys, barbies and lego.
These rooms seem to have great storage solutions which is at the basis of having a space which is both clear of clutter and stylish whilst still being child friendly. My favourite kind of storage is usually vintage. Amazing finds from second hand shops, boot fairs or online auctions can do the trick. Sometimes even just one vintage piece can make all the difference and give a room character, whilst mixing it with modern pieces. The following images are from my Pinterest board and sum up exactly where I’m coming from.
The above image shows a vintage locker being used as storage for older children alongside a retro sofa but as you can see by all the paraphernalia around the room – its a room very much used for modern purposes.
This room has the most beautiful antique sleigh bed with a modern side table. They look great together and the little toys, books and accessories just add to the charm.
This room has been decorated in mainly antique furniture and accessories, however the white walls and crib keep the room looking fresh.

Vintage chairs and crates, such as in the image above can be the star of the show in a kids room and add depth to an otherwise modern space.
Long gone are the days of matching quilts, curtains and rugs. These days, we are becoming bolder in our choices and experimenting with different looks. This is the only way we can truly find our own unique style.
