We were in the same boat as you for decorating ideas. We agreed to take children from 0-9 and either sex. We didn't want to wait until children were placed in our home before buying furniture and painting, because we'll be busy enough setting up daycare and getting everything else prepared.
So we ended up painting the room a medium blue and a pale yellow. We painted opposite walls of both colors. There are two windows in the room, so the one wall that was yellow, we painted the window sill blue, and the wall that was blue, we painted the window sill yellow. It really makes the room look fun.
We also purchased a red bunk bed. And a dresser at a garage sale that we painted red, but the drawers are blue and yellow. The accessories in the room (picture frames, comforters, etc) are all red. I made the curtains and they are blue and yellow stripped. We actually had Home Depot match the paint color to the colors in the curtain fabric. A small desk and bookcase we painted red, again with the drawer’s blue and yellow. I love the room, I think it is fun and even had my niece and nephew judge it for me and now they want the same thing at their home!
Good luck and have fun with it!
