Not only does Peonies + Twine use pink and gray in this kid's bedroom idea, but she also ups the ante with whimsical floral wall decals.

4. Accent with gold.
Gold accents provide the perfect touch of warmth and glamour to this pink kid's bedroom idea, designed by Melanie from Rave Interior Design.

And don't forget to add the pièce de résistance: a midcentury-esque chandelier in the center of the room.
