Childhood is a time of magic, fairy tales, and adventures from the moment your child opens his/her eyes until it’s time to sleep. For the happiest childhood memories and enchanting wonders, why not turn your child’s bedroom into a piece of a fairy tale?
For crafty parents who want their kids to have the very best playtime and place for rest, we have five simple yet highly rewarding DIY room remodeling projects right here – so keep reading and pick a magical ambiance for your kids’ room that will add a dash of charm, imagination and dreamy ambiance to your kids’ childhood.
1. Glow-In-The-Dark Bedding
Beds are not just a place your child will get their nighttime rest – they’re also the place your child will grow, develop and have dreams about different adventures and magical encounters. To make sure your child has happy dreams, find a bed that glows in the dark.
You can find them on most commercial websites, but if you’re skilled enough, you can make a glow-in-the-dark bed with a sheet or a white curtain and LED lights. Attach the lights to the sides, foot, and headboard of the bed with some adhesive tape or glue, plug them in, and voila – your child won’t need any nightlight any longer to keep the Boogeyman away.
2. Use Chalkboards and Whiteboards as Wall Accents for Your Kid’s Room
Another simple decorating project, installing chalkboard accents to the walls of your kid’s room, will render a whole new dimension to your child’s playtime. This is especially convenient for parents whose little ones are fond of drawing and scribbling on tapestries – with ample drawing space at their disposal, your kids will be less likely to pour out their artistic inspiration on other walls in the room.
Also, you too will be able to use the chalkboards or mobile whiteboards to leave messages to your kid and tell them how much you love them – or that they have to clean up their mess before they ask for desserts next time.
3. Swinging Hammocks for Camping Dreamers
Children love hammocks and swings, so if you have a spacious kid’s room, you may want to turn it into an indoor playground with some fun accessories and playthings kids love so much. Hammocks are an ideal piece of multi-functional furniture, and they are extremely easy to set up and disassemble and fold away when not needed, so if you want your kids to enjoy their time indoors, definitely go for some swing-like accessories.
Plus, your child will be proud and happy to spend time in their room with their friends and playmates if they have some piece of intriguing gear no other kid on the block has ever dreamed of having – and they will be endlessly grateful to you for the bragging rights, too.
4. Makeshift Room Dividers
Parents with large children’s rooms may face a spatial problem common to large open-plan premises – diving the room into two or more different zones.
A smart yet simple solution for a child’s room divider, string curtains, different colored carpets, and standalone bookshelves will separate your little one’s room into playtime and sleeping areas, which can be highly useful if you don’t want to go cleaning up toys from the child’s sleeping area after a visit of their playmates who wreaked havoc on the formerly tidy room design.
5. Christmas Time All the Year Round
For added charm and a better mood, you can use Christmas lights to decorate your kid’s wardrobe, reading area, or plaything chest. By adding some sparkle and colors to their room, you’ll be giving your kids an all-year Christmas time feel – and at a relatively affordable price too.
I hope these tips helped. Let’s be honest – you will also feel like a child again when decorating your kid’s room to be this magical!

I want some of these bedrooms for myself! Especially that pretty canopy with the lights! Thanks for sharing with us at the Merry Monday link party. I hope you’ll join us again next week. Sharing your post on Twitter!
I don’t have any kids, so really do not apply to me. Except, I will admit I would not mind having a book case lighted up. That would be a nice conversation starter all year long.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bookcase and the chalkboard. They’re ingenious, who wouldn’t want to pull a book from a glowing shelf or have a space for creative drawings or ideas. Of course the DYI aspect is totally out of my skill set : )
I don’t have children but can certainly appreciate your creativity with these projects! I especially like the room divider and think that would have been a marvelous thing to have when I was growing up with my younger sister. The swinging hammock is another winner – in fact I’m thinking I need something like that out on my deck! Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂
I can totally see the room divider being great for two kids! My kids used to say “you have to clean this side and I’ll clean that” AND then no one would clean lol.
Hi Krystle – these rooms are fabulous, makes me wish my children were little ones again. I love the first room – what a super way to dress up bunk beds. And I’m thinking about the hammock. My grandkids all love reading and I can just picture how much they would enjoy spending an hour or two reading while swinging in the hammock. Great ideas, beautiful pictures.

What great ideas!
The glow in the dark bedding and white/black board are my favourites.
Perhaps my daughter would look forward to going to bed if her bedroom resembled one of these!
Krystle
I hear you. Neither of my children look too forward to bed while I can’t wait to jump in lol.

Thanks Lenie! Reading in a hammock is a great idea! My son might even want to read then but unfortunately I don’t think his room is large enough.
Jacqueline Gum
Completely magical…that is the right word:) Wonderful stuff. I would have loved to have had room like that as a child!
Krystle
It does look magical! And peaceful so hopefully they are getting a good nights sleep too 🙂

I love the picture you have at the top of the post with the castle bed. That looks amazing.
Krystle
I know! I wish my room as a kid was that cool 🙂
