14 Bedrooms That Grow With Kids
You won't have to start from scratch every three years with these modern and eclectic kid's bedroom designs
The thing about babies is that they grow up. Really fast. One minute they are nestled down in their cribs staring up at the birdie mobile, and the next minute they're hanging Metallica posters over their beds. One minute they are playing princess; the next minute, it's spin the bottle.
Which, of course, means that their rooms should be able to grow too (unless you have the bank account and the patience to redecorate every three years).
That is just one of the beautiful things about modern, eclectic kids' rooms. They're colorful and kid friendly, but also easily transformed as the kids grow up. Because they include elements of classic design, they don't seem outdated after a few years the way a racecar bed might. Sure, you'll have to switch out the crib and the stuffed animals. But the bones are good, with lots of flexibility.

This gray and pink room is perfect for a sweet little baby girl. But switch out that crib and add some toy storage, and it's also perfect for a growing girl.
Another black accent wall in a nursery. With the classic Eames rocker and the simple, neutral decor, this baby room could could last through college.
Bright walls and fun patterns make sense for a long time. The black and white ceiling stripes stimulate an infant's brain, and they still make sense for a teenager who wants to turn the room into a punk rock palace.
More classic furniture combined with bright color. The Frames wallpaper by Taylor & Wood transforms the wall into an interactive, constantly changing canvas.
Neutral, cozy and playful all at once. This built-in bed is the perfect kid sanctuary, and the ladder up to the high shelves makes it fun. This could go from toddler room to guest room with just a load of laundry.
Bright, playful and elegant. It's sleepover heaven.
A classic Innit chair will sit right forever. And the custom map (available through Benedict August) is colorful, educational and just plain beautiful.
This eclectic beauty has a few anchors: the Farfalla wallpaper by Nina Campbell and the built-in shared nightstand. The rest — comforters, throw rugs, pillows — can be easily switched out to accommodate the changing whims of growing girls.
This room is a kid room only by virtue of the fact that it contains a few playthings. The rest of it works for any age, without forcing an adult sensibility onto a tiny tot.
The tween dream: electric guitars and a Lego loft!
A girl's room to last from third grade to her first job. The markers are there — pink, comfy furniture, girly patterns — but none of them are childish.
