Search Pinterest for “kids room inspiration” and sure enough you’ll see a thousand and one search results pop up and, what most of them will have in common, is lots of colour. From light grey walls to pops of pink and blue to dark and sophisticated spaces, these rooms can be so gorgeous and well-designed. What I’d like to show you today, though, is a round up of 12 wonderfully white and bright kids’ rooms.
Two houses ago, this was the kids’ room and that is the Baby hanging out in her crib. She was so small! The giant letter A and the crib bedding are both from Land of Nod, and the crib is from the Baby Mod Marley line at Walmart. If you’re looking for a mid-century style crib that won’t break the bank and is well constructed, this is the one for you! The legs and bottom trim on this crib are absolutely gorgeous!
There’s a general perception that white rooms are hard to maintain for little kids and that they can appear stark or cold. I think that when you pair them with the right accessories and pops of colour, a mostly white room for kids’ can be very liveable and super cute too. Its easy to forget that wood furnishings and floors can add warmth to spaces too without adding visual clutter. By far though, painting the walls white is the biggest, and easiest, way to make an impact. That puts them at the top of my design love list!
This is the definition of a white and bright kids’ room. A small space feels so much larger thanks to the white walls. Via Petit & Small
White walls and floors make this set of connected rooms a Scandinavian style dream! Via Coco Lapine Design
Another great example of a white and bright kids’ room that is far from cold or clinical. This lovely room balances out all the white with birch and wicker accents plus that gorgeous peach rug and green footstool. Via Sarah Sherman Samuel
In addition to the neutrals, the pops of light grey work well to accent this white room. Via The New
This is the cutest bunk bed situation! Again, the neutrals serve to add warmth and stop the room from feeling cold. Via Mommo Design
I absolutely adore this little girl’s room. The bedding in shades of ivory, grey, and beige is the perfect cozy spot amongst the crisp white walls. Via The New
The black iron twin beds are the perfect contrast against the white walls in this light and bright space. Via Studio McGee
For a space this small, this little nursery looks incredibly luxe, doesn’t it? That’s another thing about white- it’s the epitome of less is more and in my mind, a few well chosen pieces in white will always look more expensive than a medley of furnishings in colour. Via Rena Cherny Studio
I absolutely adore this little room. There are so many shades of white paint, if a true white isn’t your thing, how about something with the tiniest hint of grey? Via Pinterest (If you recognize this lovely image and know it’s source, please let me know so I can give credit where it’s due.)
Pairing a monochrome space with wooden and woven accents is always a good idea when you want to create a white and bright kids’ room. Via Inside Out
This room, to me, defines the current California design craze. (Is it even a craze now that it’s everywhere? Perhaps its time to call it a solid trend thats here to stay?) Whatever it is, I love this space! Via Pinterest (If you recognize this lovely image and know it’s source, please let me know so I can give credit where it’s due.)
Another great example of California style. A little mid century, a little boho, entirely stylish. What’s not to love? Via Cheetah is the New Black
Of course, I just couldn’t end this post without designing a free printable, so here you go. From the incomparable Christian Dior himself, “White is pure and simple and matches with everything.” C’est la vérité, n’est-ce pas?
So what do you think? Do you agree that white walls can make for wonderfully white and bright kids’ rooms, or are you one for coloured walls and lots of colourful accents? Leave me a comment below and let me know.
