HGTV Dream Home 2014 : Kids' Bathroom Pictures

This fun and functional space combines durable neutral materials with bright, kid friendly touches. 

About the Kids' Bathroom : 

This high traffic area designed to accommodate multiple children at once features durable, chic materials that would be at home in any grown up bathroom. Bright red and white accents add a youthful touch. 

Since the adjacent bunkroom sleeps up to four, this bathroom is built to accommodate a crowd. It features two zones: A vanity and dressing area and a separate commode and shower area.










2014 Kids' Storage Ideas from HGTV

By : H. Camille Smith


Let's face it: Kids are natural collectors. So, it only makes sense to give them somewhere to stylishly display their stuff. Designer Susie Fougerousse suggests: "Every child's room should be equipped with a sturdy bookshelf for displaying treasures, books, pictures and more. Selecting a basic style in a neutral color will allow the parents maximum versatility for use over the long term. As the child grows, the uses and consequently the look of the shelf will naturally adapt to the child's changing needs."


"Functional and stylish storage is an essential element to consider when decorating a child's room," says designer Susie Fougerousse. "If the room allows for it and your budget permits, a bookcase with doors or drawers is a classy way to enhance the look of the room while providing valuable storage for odds and ends."


Older kids need storage, too. Designer Sarah Richardson adds a handy feature to this young man's bedroom: a fabric pouch positioned just below the mattress. This pouch is the perfect place for stashing comic books, handheld games or every teen's must-have techie devices.


Corral kids' clutter in colorful boxes. Designer Sherri Blum recommends these because, "small toys, hair accessories, craft supplies and more can be easily tucked away in these neat boxes readily available at craft stores." Bonus: a customizable paper label so you'll always know what the box contains.

Designer Susie Fougerousse is a big believer in having a good mix of permanent and transportable storage solutions in a child's room. Her Tip: "Portable storage containers such as painted wooden crates or metal bins that can be personalized are a stylish option for children of all ages. With an endless array of colors, patterns, fonts and shapes to choose from, these storage containers are a cool and decorative addition to any room."


Designer Sarah Richardson turns a sleigh bed into a daybed in her vacation cottage. Perfect for small visitors, this corner is an inviting spot for reading a favorite book or catching an afternoon nap. Slipcovered ottomans with removable lids offer plenty of storage for small guests' toys.


Built-in bookcases add handy storage and display space for boyhood treasures while an aviation theme and queen-size bed will work for many years to come. Design by RMSer thriftydecorchick.


Clear kitchen canisters look (and work!) great as dresser-top storage for kids' favorite small toys. When they're past the crayon-and-army-men stage, the same containers can be used for storing hair accessories, belts or art supplies. Design by Holly Mathis.


Reclaim square footage for baby's playtime with vertical storage. Designer Sherri Blum says, "Built-in wall units are especially helpful in small spaces; a single wall with built-ins can replace toy boxes, bookcases, desks and trunks to create a room that is more open and clutter free."

new ideas for Kid's Rooms


1-Red , White and Blue



A scheme composed of primary colors -- red, blue, and yellow -- is always popular in a child's room. Here they are used in their boldest, truest forms, with red and blue doing a balancing act, while yellow takes the role of accent color.

2- Checkmate



A well-designed room will contain accessories that support the overall color scheme. Notice how this fanciful chess set works with the rest of the room.

3 - Cozy Alcove




This child's bed is set within a dormer off the open bunk space of the second floor. The bed could have been placed farther into the dormer, but it's much more interesting with curtains on two sides and a little space between the mattress and the window
(its base hides ductwork behind the drawers).


4 - Goodnight Moon


Purchasing a crib and mattress can be expensive, but some models are convertible, meaning they can be used as the baby's first real bed rather than go into storage when he outgrows the crib. When making the change, consider redesigning the room with new bedding, furniture, and accessories.


5 - Black and White Modern




This teen room exudes city style with striped walls, Zebra print bedding, and the resident's own pop art. A cheap-chic sitting area, black edged wardrobe mirrors, and button- and domino-decked picture frames add the finishing touch.

6 - Down to Earth Decor




This room has four looks in one. It has been divided into different areas and painted to represent the four elements: earth, water, air and fire. It's a colorful scheme with lots to interest and amuse children.

7 - Desert Caravan


This exotic teen room is decorated with onion dome wardrobe mirrors, tassel-decorated pillows, a slipcovered sofa and hanging votives. Polyester lace curtains, a hand-stenciled carpet and tri-colored wall treatment complete the do-it-yourself scene.


8 - Rosy Posey



Play up a monochromatic, or single-color, theme by using various tints and shades of the same hue.


9 - Got the Blues?



Equal parts of cool blue and warm yellow create a pleasing balance in this room. Introducing a lesser amount of the color pink, with accessories, adds more complexity.

Kid's Room Decorating Design Ideas 2014 by HGTV Designer


Twice the cuteness, twice the fun, this cottage-inspired little girls room offers a soft color palate of celadon, daisy yellow and ocean blue. A timeless design is chosen to offer enjoyment for years to come.



This child’s room was designed for today and for the future. Instead of choosing pink or purple to paint the walls, a more calming and sophisticated green color is used. This will wear well with time as the child grows and also is a very cozy color. The white furniture was the perfect contrast to bring crispness to the room. All of it can be purchased from west elm. The shag rug continues to create a very comfortable place to hang out and play or to read a book.



This kid's space is the perfect room for grandchildren to stay while visiting.



This bedroom consists of custom-designed bunk beds and shelving for stylish storage.



This celebrity baby nursery was designed for Lisa and Buddy Valastro. They didn't want to know the baby's gender before birth; the gender neutral nursery is a compromise of the mother's desire to have an elegant, traditional nursery without a theme and the father's desire for a jungle safari nursery theme with animals. The giraffe family wall hanging and a few subtle touches of safari accessories add the jungle theme to the otherwise traditional nursery.



Sweet pink, yellow and green nursery with custom-designed bedding features a variety of textures to stimulate touch for this baby girl. A custom wall hanging and mural were painted to add a personalized touch.

This room evokes a feeling of elegance, along with a sense of playfulness. The delicate nature of the crystal chandelier counterbalances pops of bright pink ruffles, which brings a whimsical feel to the space.



This little girl's bedroom gets its whimsical feeling from the garden-themed faux-painted walls, birdhouse bed and colorful window seat. Little Miss Muffet stools provide a lift to hang up doll clothes and reach books in the birdhouse. Mice of all sizes gather in nooks and crannies to keep this little girl company as she dreams and plays in this magical room.

The use of textures such as leather, tweed and heavy canvas helps carry the cowboy theme and provides a durable solution for an active boy.
