This Light Blue Boy’s Bedroom Feels Timeless Thanks to DIY MoldingHome Projects
New mom Maisie Powers didn’t have much time to design a nursery for her son, Arlo. She and her husband moved into their house in June 2025, and the baby was due in December, so Maisie had to work quickly when transforming what had previously been a guest room. “The design inspiration came from various other nurseries I had seen on Pinterest, mixed with my love of traditional home decor,” Maisie shares.

A Carpeted Dining Room Is Now a Vibrant Playroom Thanks to a Rainbow MuralHome Projects
In some homes, it makes sense to tuck a play area away — in a basement or living room corner, for example. But sometimes, if you have the right space, a playroom can serve as the center and soul of a house. After a pitch-perfect makeover, that’s now exactly the case for Vicky Burton’s family.Initially, their playroom was the dining room in their home in Bristol, United Kingdom.

A "Plain Box" Is Now a Blue Adventure-Themed BedroomHome Projects
Two guiding principles led to the design of 3-year-old Leo’s bedroom for Los Angeles-based interior designer and documentary filmmaker Reilly Dowd. For starters, she wanted to prove that “a room with no beautiful ‘features’ to begin with could be the most magical space in the house.” Secondly, Reilly wanted her son to be the “editor-in-chief” of his room’s design.

A Moody, Dramatic Nursery Was Once a Walk-In ClosetHome Projects
Kim Cox’s three kids are the fourth generation to live in their house, and the newest sibling is seriously benefiting from a decision her husband’s grandparents made decades ago. In the 1990s, those grandparents added an extension off of their primary bedroom to create a sort of glam room for “Gran” — a “wardrobe room” where she could also apply her makeup.

A Nursery Redo Focused on Preservation After It Got “No Love for Decades” Home Projects
“The space seemed to have received no love for decades,” Taylor Graves says of what would become her daughter’s nursery. Before Taylor and her husband moved in, it had been a college student’s guest room and was simply used for function — “and it looked like it,” Taylor notes. Multiple layers of paint covered multiple layers of wallpaper, but the room was filled with details that just needed proper attention.
