We're all guilty of favoring our grown-up spaces and avoiding the kids' areas when we can. These spaces tend to be a bit less stylish and often more cluttered than we'd like. But believe it or not, children have a design style, too. They might have a more difficult time pinpointing it, there's nothing like an eye-catching wallpaper or colorful duvet to get them excited to keep their room clean.

Ahead, 25 kid's bedroom ideas that are sure to inspire a design project that both you and your little ones will love for years to come.

Fake a Mural

Oversized art is the coolest way to dress walls in kids' bedrooms, but murals tend to require a certain level of artistic ability and framed art can be expensive. Instead, consider faking it with a peel-and-stick mural wallpaper and frame it with molding. This gives you the illusion of large art without the high price tag.

Make It Mess-Proof

Whether it's a bedroom, playroom (or really, any other room of the house), kid-inhabited spaces tend to get dirty. Babies and pre-teens alike are prone to spills, but that doesn't mean you're doomed to live with stains on your stuff.
