Photos: Children’s bedroom decorations for the perfect school year

A bamboo Buden bed by Stem with gray bedding is joined by a red chair from Vitra in one of the children's bedrooms. The dresser displays Lego sets, including Big Ben and a Lego Technic Porsche.

A five-drawer chest (from the Jessica Collection) and three-drawer desk, both by Coaster, feature sleek handles that continue the modern look into the kids’ bedrooms. Blue and pink hues tie together the bedding and butterfly art. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE

This Decatur teen's is filled with the things she loves. She is an avid baker and competed in the Food Network's "Kids Sweets Showdown" in 2016. She displays her apron and a picture of the show participants, along with butterfly artwork by Mississippi artist Walter Anderson. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE

Bunk beds, built-ins and exposed brick create a charming room for guests' children. The lighting is from Ikea. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE

For a kid-friendly reading nook, matching chairs, in green and blue, are nestled beside crates used as individual bookshelves. Reann Huber/AJC FILE

The dorm-like room features fun details such as a geometric rug and monkey statue. Large rectangular windows let in natural light. Two kids' bedrooms and a communal space upstairs were among $45,000 of renovations in 2016. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE

Caroline Normark gave her children free rein to design their bedrooms. Millie shows off her favorite color, turquoise, in the accent chair she chose for one corner of her room. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE

The playroom has a large bookshelf, from the homeowners' parents, that helps keep the room organized. The piano belonged to homeowner Yuni Min when she was a child, and now her children play it. The room has a large bay window, one of Yuni's favorite architectural features in her Cumming home. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE

For a sports kick in the kids' room, the soccer balls on the wall are made of plastic with a sticker behind them. The trophies are from involvement in sports such as basketball and baseball. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE

Rope detailing is an area touch on the bunkbeds in a kid-friendly guest room, which also continues the shiplap look seen elsewhere in the Virginia farmhouse-style residence. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE

Homeowner Yuni Min likes to use neutral paint colors on her kids's bedroom walls, just in case they ever want to switch rooms. This pink armchair, a Goodwill find in great condition, and chandelier that was a gift from a friend, add feminine flair to 3-year-old Emmy's room. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE

When the homeowners remodeled their home in 2016, they turned their attic space into a playroom for their three kids. The hanging chair from Urban Outfitters and the play tent from Target provide bright spaces for the kids to read and play. The couple also installed shelves from Ikea to organize and display the children's things. Christopher Oquendo/AJC FILE
