Give a country-style spool bed a glossy white finish to make it perfect for a city home. Fun stickers on the walls contrast with a hand-made patchwork quilt.

Get more storage with a trundle bed, and tuck toys and books in a trunk that doubles as a bedside table.

Add a playful element to a kid's bedroom with a wall decal. Or make one with vintage-wallpaper remnants: Draw the shape on the back, cut it out and paste it up!

Use flea market treasures to liven up a child's room and give the design a loose, well-travelled feel. Pair them with modern-classic pieces like the durable Bertoia chair for a sophisticated but kid-friendly look.

Chatelaine celebrates, inspires, informs and empowers. We know that Canadian women contain multitudes, and we cover all of the issues—big and small—that matter to them, from climate change to caregiving, Canadian fashion and what to cook now.
