Provide siblings in a shared room some privacy with a tall bookcase . Painted a coordinating color with the walls, this divider looks like it was always meant to be there.
Roller Shade DIY
To customize a window, fabric or paper can be affixed to a plain-jane roller shade with spray adhesive. This map gives this kids' room a sense of both adventure and balance.
Reading Nook
Turn any corner into a cozy, quiet reading nook. You can go for simplicity, as in the case of this book rack and bean bag corner, or take it to the next level with window seats, loft spaces, and DIY teepees. The sky's the limit!
Room Storage
If the only way to get your kids to clean their rooms is to make the process fun, then this basket-and-pulley storage system should do the trick (and perhaps provide a lesson about simple machines, to boot). These colorful baskets creatively store belongings while adding an extra dimension to the room.
