Name: Ralphie
Location: London, Ontario

This is our son Ralphie's room, slightly revamped from when he was a baby. We live in student housing, so the room is both small (9x11) and shabby (check out those rubber baseboards! Or, wait, don't check them out). We wanted his room to be open, colourful, airy, and full of interesting things to look at. 

Is it Spring yet? This bedroom, from Australian company Salvation Jane, screams out warmer weather, school vacation, and just good old plain fun. Luckily, it's also really easy to achieve in your own home. Just choose three bright bold colors, and find a balance of furniture and decor in those solid shades. Here's how you get the look: 

Name: Baby Boy (3 months)
Location: Jakarta, Indonesia

This is a den which used to be my two older daughters' playroom. We did not find out the gender of our third baby until he was born, and I wanted to reuse the wall decal, so I decided not to repaint the wall. Thus the color of the wall stayed lavender for my baby son.

Name: Keane (6 months)
Location: Robbinsdale, Minnesota
Room Size: 11' x 14'

With one look at her son Keane's room, it's clear that this is not Kara's first time around the nursery-decorating block. Having learned a few lessons with her first son, Kara said she had a better idea this time around of what to include (and what not to include) in the room. She and her husband, Bill, salvage and restore mid-century modern furniture, a clear inspiration for the room, which flawlessly incorporates a woodland theme and playful colors with minimalist, streamlined pieces.

Name: Nolan
Location: Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Our guest bedroom was already painted a pretty mint green, and, not wanting to repaint the room, I decided to try and work with the color to create our first baby's nursery.

Name: Gabriel (16) and Henri (10 1/2)
Location: Union Square, Manhattan, New York City
Room Size: 9 'x 12'

Judy Ross has two boys, aged 10 1/2 and 16, who share a room in a small Manhattan apartment. Not only is their room neat, organized and stylish, but the rest of the apartment is impeccably designed. This means that Judy has two boys who have learned not only how to keep track of their things, but also how to respect and enjoy design.

If you go the toddler bed route, cute bedding can be difficult to find. Jaime of Prudent Baby decided to repurpose the unused comforter that came with her daughter's crib set by sewing a custom duvet for it. What a genius idea!

Name: Logan (1 Month)
Location: Weaver Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana

When I started planning this room after I found out we were having a boy, I thought about my favorite boys (my husband, my dad, and my brothers). They're all outdoorsy, calm, straight-laced, and they have simple and classic style. More
