- A theme room: Children love having a room that reflects their interests and personality. Consider a theme, such as a sports room or a fairy tale room, that can be incorporated into the decor, bedding, and accessories.
- Bright colours: Use bright colours to create a fun and energetic atmosphere in your child’s room. Choose solid, hardwearing furniture like toddler beds with bold, bright hues like turquoise, orange, or yellow for a lively touch.
- A cozy reading nook: A comfortable reading nook can be a great addition to any child’s room. Consider using soft lighting and comfortable cushions to create a space that is perfect for snuggling up with a good book – or utilise the cosy den-like space under mid-sleeper beds. We love this Fort Mid-Sleeper – the space under the bed is still well lit thanks to the extra window, while creating room for fun!
- Fun wall art: Wall art can be a great way to add personality and creativity to your child’s room. Consider using fun posters, wall decals, bunting or even handmade art to make the space unique and special. Cabin Beds are a great idea for utilising storage underneath, leaving plenty of wall space for the ‘Picasso’ of their choice! We love this sturdy Vermont Cabin Bed from Room to Grow:
- A play area: If your child loves to play, consider creating a designated play area in their room. This could include a toy storage unit or a play tent, which can provide hours of fun and entertainment.
- A bunk bed: If your child shares a room with a sibling, bunk beds are a great solution for maximizing space – but bunk beds don’t have to be boring. Choose one with built-in storage or a fun design for added functionality and appeal. We love this stylish Barca Bunk Bed from Room to Grow, which makes clever use of a long wall:
Barca Bunk Bed, Room to Grow - A gallery wall: Create a gallery wall in your child’s room by hanging pictures, posters, or artwork. This can be a fun and creative way to show off your child’s favorite things and add a personal touch to their space.
- A cozy bed: Kids beds should still be comfortable, although as growing teens they’ll want a more adult space. A small double, cosy comfortable bed is perfect for your teenager’s room. A soft mattress, fluffy pillows, and a cozy blanket can help ensure that they get a good night’s sleep – and choosing an Ottoman bed means there’s plenty of storage underneath – even for the toys they’ve ‘grown out of’ – but still want to keep!
- A built-in desk: If your child loves to study or do homework, consider incorporating a built-in desk into their room. This can provide a designated workspace that is both practical and stylish.
- A fun rug: Rugs can be a great way to add texture and color to a room. Consider choosing a fun and playful pattern, like stripes or polka dots, to create a fun and cozy atmosphere in your child’s room.
In conclusion, there are many ways to create a bedroom that your child will love. By incorporating bright colors, cozy reading nooks, fun wall art, play areas, bunk beds, gallery walls, comfortable beds, built-in desks, and playful rugs, you can create a space that is both functional and stylish.
