Kids Bedroom Design

To design a bedroom for your child can be a very special and tricky undertaking, but also a lot of fun and the end result will be the look on your child’s face, well worth all the hard work to any parent. Your aim should be to design the room to reflect your child’s likes and fit in with their personality, so ensure you involve them in the process and don’t get carried away and decorate it how you want it! How much input your child has will depend on their age but be enthusiastic and treat it as a fun project and they are sure to have their say. The perfect child’s bedroom should serve a number of functions, not just a place for them to sleep but also to do homework, listen to music, entertain friends and generally chill out.

To get started and pick up some unique and cool ideas, take your child window shopping. This will let you see what is available out there and your child can vocalise their likes and dislikes. The great thing about kid’s furniture is that a lot of it can be multi functional and maximise space, ensure you have the room measurements before actually purchasing anything and check out the floor space too, it’s no good if drawers and cupboard doors don’t have room to open properly.

Plan if you will paint the room or wallpaper. Painting is quite simple and bright whilst wallpapers can follow the theme chosen or exhibit movie characters, such as Disney. Kids love themes. Everything can be purchased to fit a particular theme from wallpaper, children's character bedding, pillows, kids curtains and rugs to chairs, doorknobs and towels.

You will know from experience that kids have a lot of ‘stuff’ and storage will be a priority. Toys, clothes, books, games, all need to be cleared away and if provided with their own little shelf or box, your child will be more inclined to put them away after playing and keep the room tidy, or tidy-ish! There are all kinds of organising structures to buy. One of the most popular is a bunk bed that integrates a computer or seating area with storage drawers underneath. Beds can come with this built in storage or shaped as a car or fantasy bed, kids especially love these novelty beds. Add kids bedding, pillows, sheets and children's curtains and there’s a great child’s bedroom complete.

Letting your child choose their character bedding will help them claim the space as their own. As well as all the bedding following a theme, you can also add little extra touches, such as drawer or door knobs, lampshades, posters or clothes hooks that reflect their favourite cartoon character or superhero or are just funky and fun. When designing any area many people forget about the value of lighting. Good lighting and a lamp are important if the room is to be used for studying and most children like a bedside lamp to give them comfort.

There are lots of themes, ideas and choices out there to choose from. Girls fantasise about being a fairy or a princess and will love anything based on these favourites, boys meanwhile will mostly appreciate anything to do with football or cars and all kids love animals. Be creative and decorate their bedrooms with lots of imagination.
As we all know, children grow up fast, one minute they are tiny babies and the next walking and talking with a personality of their own. Take this into consideration when designing their room, unless you are planning on redecorating every couple of years. If the design is too age specific your child will grow out of it and you might find yourself having to, all too soon, do it all again. Designing a child's room can be fun and an ideal way to spend quality time together. Keep to the basic principles and it will be a precious and rewarding time for everyone.
