Things have certainly become fancy in the world of room décor for kids. If you are looking to decorate a nursery or big kid room the choices are overwhelming.
A simple shelf is now a statement piece and perfect for storing trinkets, treasures, toys and pictures. A shelf makes an original and practical gift that can be used for many years to come.
From cheap and cheerful to splurge items, here are 13 of my favourites.

And if you have a LEGO fan, these DIY minifigure storage shelves are such a clever and cute idea.
Do you have a favourite shelf?
Are you overwhelmed by the choices for decorating kids’ rooms these days?!
Oh I love these! I wonder how they go on gyprock walls? Would handy Hubby know? LOVE the lego wall, that one is a must I reckon xx
Handy Hubby says – “Any shelf with a backing or spine/fixing point can be mounted easily onto Gyprock with the appropriate fixings. Bunnings sell stud wall/Gyprock fixings. Toggle fixings or Wallmates will do the job. Some of these designs may need specialised fixings to hide the attachment point. Alternatively angle brackets could be used but they may affect the look.” Gee, he comes in handy doesn’t he?! 🙂
Wow that Lego one is cool and the Batman, I’m a slack mumma Tash who hasn’t got pretty things in her kids’ rooms. I need to get better at creating a beautiful room for them!
One fancy shelf and boom, you’re done! My Mr TT would go nuts for that Batman one. We have just entered the “Batman” phase. Today’s bat related question was a doozy – “Mummy, is Batman stronger than God?”. Fun superhero times ahead!
Oh my gosh that lego shelf is INSANE!!! My kids would love the watermelon shelves. What I really need is a GIANT book case to store the gazillions of books we own.
I hear you on the bookcase – ours is overflowing too. I really need to sort out all our kiddie books but I just can’t bear to part with so many of our gorgeous baby and picture books. Things will only get harder now we are getting into reading chapter books! Will have to do some research and get back to you with a bookcase related post! xx
I so want the Milky Attic House, but just cant justify the price. Plus we don’t have enough stuff to store on anymore shelves lol {hard to believe though because my house is overrun by toys}.
I love that one too Toni! Toy storage is an issue with us too. I thought I was being clever by sorting every thing into neat boxes but it wasn’t long until it was all mixed up again!
Great ideas! I like that Kmart now makes stylish and affordable items for home. For her birthday last year I gave my 6 YO GD a Kmart tiered shelf that can stand along and has little sections and in it I places little photos of her when she was little and some wee fairies. Shelf was under $10. Denyse #teamIBOT
What a lovely gift Denyse! Love the addition of little fairies too 🙂
I love the skateboard shelf! My son would love that!
I’d love the skateboard shelf for myself Ingrid 🙂 It’s very cool isn’t it?!
I love the Batman and the watermelon ones. They are awesome!
Those watermelon shelves never fail to make me smile Jess!
I like the Australia shelf as we love to travel!! I need to decorate my kids rooms but I never get around to it!!
It’s on my “to do” list too! I love that Australia treasure shelf – such a beautiful keepsake.
I used to collect figurines when I was a kid and would have gone nuts over that last shelf. I used to spend my days displaying them in different formations lol. I love those watermelon shelves. So much pretty stuff out there!!
Yes! So much pretty stuff. I would have loved shelves like that too Renee. I had a rather impressive Strawberry Shortcake and Smurf figurine collection back in the day 🙂
So much gorgeous in one post! I love them all but the Australia shaped shelf is my best!
Why am I not surprised that one is your favourite Sammie?! I think it’s stunning – and not just for little kids either 🙂
Oh I love them all but I have to say I love the diamond. What a great idea to write a post about as parents are always looking for inspiration like this! Have a wonderful mothers day this weekend!
Thank you Caroline! I kept spotting beautiful shelves and before I knew it, I’d found enough for a whole post. There’s some fantastic designs out there and what’s really pleasing is that so many of those are Aussie designed and made. Wishing you a very Happy Mother’s Day too xx
