Yellow is easily one of the most versatile colors in the book when it comes to interior design. Not only does it work perfectly in a bedroom for any age or gender, but it works in a myriad of styles, making it easy to grow with your little ones over time. While you can always go the route of painting all four bedroom walls in the vibrant hue (we support a bold choice!), there are plenty more ways to incorporate this fun shade into your space, whether you're a short-term renter or ready to take on a massive renovation.
Ahead, we're sharing seven yellow kids' bedroom ideas, sure to inspire a sunny makeover for your little loves.

4. Make a statement with a yellow door.
If you're jonesing to bring some yellow into your kids' space but aren't up to painting an entire room, try adding a pop of color by painting the back of the door, like Leoma Harper from Style the Clutter. Gray accents and a light blue-green wall mural play perfectly against the punchy, bold hue.
