Removable Wall Art

Wall decals have always been popular in kids' rooms, but the options have never been so stylish – and the 219 percent increase in searches for them proves it! Removable art from Etsy and Chromantics, like this Watercolor Cactus ($30), look more high-design than dorm chic. And considering how quickly kids grow and change, we love that you can easily keep swapping in new decals to stay current with their interests.
