Who says you can’t go shopping in the kids’ section? Well, maybe not for clothes or accessories, but when it comes to home décor, the options are endless. Many popular furnishing retailers, such as Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, and West Elm, have furniture and other decorative products available in collections dedicated to children. Although they’re meant for children’s spaces, many of their products are sophisticated enough to be used by adults in their bedrooms, bathrooms, and other living spaces.
Don’t believe us? We’ve gathered 30 products we think will accommodate your aesthetic and elevate the design of your home. We also noticed that certain products, such as mirrors and light fixtures, were more affordable in the kids’ section, so using this shopping tactic could also save you a few bucks on your decorating budget. With all the economic chaos going on, a furniture store’s children’s section may be what saves the day.
1. Beachy vibes
We’re starting with the Naturalist Mirror from Pottery Barn Kids, priced at $249. It’s a mirror that’s about 30 inches in diameter, and we believe it will look great in a beach house or a residence with a coastal aesthetic. It could be placed in an entryway, hallway, or bedroom.
2. Textured area rug
The Faye Rug from West Elm Kids starts at $449 and comes in several different sizes to accommodate different spaces, such as the bedroom and living room. The blush hue is beautifully neutral, and the texture makes a room more interesting.
3. Bamboo light fixture
The Birdcage Bamboo and Rattan Ceiling Light by Leanne Ford from Crate and Kids is $279, and we believe introducing a product that’s a mixture of natural materials can create a sense of coziness in any space.
4. Toy storage
Although the Homfa Kids Toy Storage from Walmart would be perfect for a toy room, it could also be used in a mudroom or a closet where you may need extra storage for shoes and other items. It’s priced at about $130.
5. Elegant twin bed
The white Twin Kids’ Bombay Metal Bed from Target is a convenient option for those living in a small space and wanting something elegant and impactful. The scrollwork curves add interest to the piece, and we adore the added touch of round finial posts. It’s currently priced at about $150.

The Pink Scalloped Bath Mat from Pottery Barn Kids is $40 and would pair well in a bathroom with floral patterns and accents. It’s a unique and fun shape that can create interest and complement other curvy décor in the space.
7. Block drapery
Although located in the kids’ section, the European Flax Linen & Luster Velvet Curtain from West Elm Kids is sophisticated and would look stunning in a living room or home office. The contrast between the off-white and burnt gold would be a great addition to a home filled with natural décor. The price starts at $110.
8. Pill-shaped shelf
