Hello World! Welcome Friends! As a parent, you want to do everything in your power to make your child happy, be it now or in the future. While a hug or sweet treat will be enough to see their smile right now, ensuring their prosperity as an adult requires long years of nurturing and creating an environment that fosters growth.
Providing your child with adequate personal space is one of the ways you can achieve that. Still, designing a perfect kids’ bedroom to be both functional and tailored to their taste might be a challenge. If you need a little help, we’ve got you covered.
Here, you will learn about choosing a suitable color scheme, planning the layout, including your child’s hobbies, or creating sufficient storage space. Don’t forget to add some rugs and add proper lighting. Whether you’re starting from scratch or want to refresh an existing space, here are some tips that will help you kick off your design project:
Let Them Pick Their Favorite Colors and Theme
It’s a good idea to start with the color scheme. Before shopping for the kids bed and other furniture, it’s essential to involve your child in the design process. Let your child pick their favorite colors and use that as a starting point to guide the rest of your design project. This will help them feel connected to their room and feel that they own a part of the design.
Children love bright colors but try to find some shades that correspond to the room’s other elements, such as the furniture or carpeting. You might even consider incorporating a ‘feature wall’ to create an accent and make a bold statement.
Another way to make your child feel involved in the process is to incorporate a theme. A specific theme will allow you to organize the various elements of the room cohesively. It will also make it easy for your child to understand the design concept and feel more comfortable in the space.
Add Some Rugs for Comfort and Style
As you are designing the kids’ bedroom, consider adding some rugs. They will provide comfort and warmth to your child’s room. You can also use them to create a pattern on the floor, strengthening the room’s overall theme.
You might want to use a wall-to-wall carpet to create a soft surface to protect your kid. But children tend to spill things, so we suggest using area rugs to avoid unexpected surprises and protect the flooring in case of any. You can also browse idflooring.com.au and websites alike for more inspiration and recommendations on flooring material for a kids’ room.
There is a wide range of designs and materials of rugs you can use in children’s bedrooms. Many kids like the idea of having a soft rug they can play on with toys or relax by drawing. If that sounds like your kid, you might want to consider non-slip rugs with a soft surface.
Organize the Room Around Your Child’s Lifestyle and Hobbies
What does your child love doing in their free time? Are they passionate about drawing? Do they enjoy reading? Do they spend hours playing video games? Whatever it may be, you can use their interests as inspiration for the overall design of their room.
Once you have determined what is most important to them, you can then choose furniture and accessories that reflect those passions. This could range from a collection of action figures or plush toys to bookshelves or gaming consoles. Incorporating these items into the design will help reinforce their interests and keep them engaged while spending time in their room.
Light Up the Space
You want to create a space your child will love spending time in. One way to do that is by adding some natural light. If the room has windows, be sure to leave them uncovered by shades or curtains so sunlight can filter in.
You’ll also want to choose lighting that adds warmth and style while also letting you keep an eye on your kids at night. A few bright pendant lights are often enough to achieve this effect, but if you have more than one kid sharing the room, you might add a few more fixtures, so each child has their own light area.
Think About Storage Space
Finally, you’ll need to think about storage space. Kids have a lot of stuff that needs to be stored in a room. From toys to school items and favorite books, there’s no shortage of storage space that needs to be designed into your kid’s bedroom.
You can create some extra storage space by adding some bookshelves, built-ins, or even a wall-mounted rack for shoes or backpacks. You could also add some open shelves to display some of their most prized possessions. You could also opt for a loft bed, so there is additional room under it – you can place a wardrobe or various boxes there. It’s easy to find furniture pieces that offer built-in storage options so you can create a functional space without sacrificing aesthetics.
In Conclusion
As you can see, there are many different ways to improve your kid’s bedroom and make it a more pleasant place for them to spend time in. But you also have to be committed to the project and stick to it.
