Slumber Party! 5 Cool Kids Room Ideas
From a princess palace to a "Monsters Inc." hideaway, imaginative spaces the little ones will love
Bedtime. It’s a key ritual in every family; whether you’re a firm believer in story time, bath time, warm milk, or a mix of all three – drifting off to dreamland is one of the most important (and sometimes challenging) moments of the day for the family’s smallest members. When you transform the kids’ bedroom into a sanctuary they’ll truly love, bedtime becomes all the more enticing. Here are 5 cool room designs for kids that make tuck-in time special.
1. Greensleeves, Barbados
After a long day splashing around the impressive pool and hunting for treasures on the beach, a breezy room with fans, tons of fresh air, and the chilled-out Caribbean vibes are just what the doctor ordered. With bedposts mimicking playful palm trees and a sky-blue and bright green colour scheme that matches Barbados’ lush surroundings, the memories of the day will be alive and well in this fun room, the perfect way to drift off to sleep.
2. Mediterranean Waterfront, Miami
Whether it’s relaxing on the couch with a movie, soaking up the sun on the oceanfront dock, or tucking in to a surf n’ turf BBQ after a day of shopping in downtown Miami, this low-key luxurious home inspires comfort through and through. This pretty in pink bedroom is a tween’s dream sanctuary; blush walls, a pillowy bed and little private terrace make the perfect sanctuary for daydreaming and journal writing. What better place for a queen-in-training to escape from her siblings?
3. Grand Traverse Parkway, Orlando
Just 8 miles from Disney World, Grand Traverse is home that’s well outfitted for parents and children alike. While the theme parks make the area must-visit for families, homes like this one take the experience to the next level. This Lego-inspired room is ideal for the young builders in the family, complete with a workstation for making the next big creation. Four bunk beds line the walls just begging for a fun-filled slumber party. Shotgun top bunk!
4. Casa Model, Riviera Maya
If you’ve been to Riviera Maya before, you already know there’s something for everyone; history buffs, nature lovers, antique fanatics and more. And it’s just as good for kids, too. From jumping into cool cenotes to trying their hand at snorkeling for the first time, little travelers are bound to be pleasantly tired after a day out adventuring, and will need a relaxing space to come home to. Which is why a simple, tranquil bedroom like this is the perfect match for a vibrant destination.
5. Radiant Street, Orlando
Is your little one crazy about whacky Mike Wazowski or furry Sullivan from Monsters Inc? If so, this theme room is a dream come true – and one place that makes going to bed actually exciting. To amp up the excitement, we recommend taking a trip to nearby Disney World, for the Monsters Inc live comedy show, followed by an evening of the family’s favorite flicks in the spacious home theater. Just when the kids thought the fun is all over, they’ll march up to bed to discover their favorite duo there waiting to join the fun.
