Four ways to decorate kids' rooms

Kids rooms
Modern stickers
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.
Functional storage
Get more storage with a trundle bed, and tuck toys and books in a trunk that doubles as a bedside table.
Wall decal
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!
Junior traveller
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.
