Let’s admit it, we possibly all wanted a dreamy kid’s bedroom when we were children. From tassels, toys, glittery wall hangings, and cushions to meaningful color patterns and cool furniture was always the dream. When you are decorating your child’s room, all your childhood dreams come to life.
A child’s bedroom isn’t just a sleeping space; it’s their sanctuary, a place to fuel their imagination, explore their creativity, and unwind after a day of adventures. It’s where they dream big dreams, play with a free mind, build pillow forts, and store their most treasured possessions.
As parents, we all wish to give them a place that can guarantee their imagination and free spirit. Where can you find the best furniture for your child’s room?
This is a collaborative post.
There are numerous furniture makers that have customized pieces for kid’s rooms and you can search the internet for ideas. By incorporating a few key elements and utilizing space-saving furniture solutions, you can create a magical haven that your child will love!
One of the key elements in this space is the mattress — choosing the right one ensures your child gets the restful sleep they need to grow, learn, and play each day.
Understanding your child’s needs and preferences
Before you start picking out furniture, you must take some time to know your child’s needs and preferences. Consider their age, interests, and hobbies. What kind of hobbies do your kids enjoy? Are they skaters? Do they belong to a sports team?
Or are they into dancing and Disney characters? Whatever your child’s hobbies and aspirations, you can project them in a sophisticated and comfortable way to give them the perfect environment that will make them become a better version of themselves.
Creating a theme adds a touch of whimsy and excitement to a kid’s bedroom.
Some popular ideas we see in magazines these days revolve around forest themes, sea themes, and space. You can bring the outdoors in with earthy tones, leafy branches as wall decals, and a beanbag chair shaped like a tree stump.
Some ideas for your kids’ bedroom themes
You can give your children the opportunity to dive into an underwater world with calming blue hues, playful fish-shaped pillows, and a whimsical octopus pouf for a while to sit and ponder. The extra seating in the room can also be made to look like a beach chair that gives you a view of the blue calmness of the water. The ideas are unlimited and there can be so many ways to invigorate your child’s senses by using the right colors and themes.
Another option for a dreamy kid’s room can be the cosmic haven with glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling, a rocket-shaped bookshelf, and chairs that look like metallic wonders. These themes are just the starting point and you can find so many small, and big crafts to embellish the room to look like a galaxy far from the mundane life on Earth! It would be great for parents to decorate and design the room with their children so that they can ensure some time together and promote exploration and imagination.
Focus on functionality
Kids can be real hoarders and they accumulate so many things that storage becomes the first factor to consider. Choose furniture that offers ample storage solutions like beds with built-in drawers, storage ottomans, and shelving units. Consider furniture that can be adjusted as your child grows, maximizing its lifespan. You can opt for bunk beds if your children are sharing a room. This bed can have a few drawers to store their toys and books.
Moreover, you can add a shelf or a table in the room as this kind of bed can save a lot of space. A play table with drawers is a good addition to the room. This versatile piece provides a designated space for art projects and homework while keeping toys and supplies organized.
You may have seen and admired the cube storage system that can be colored with stickers on it to match the room’s theme. These customizable cubes offer endless storage possibilities, adapting to your child’s evolving needs.
Prioritize reading corners and sketching boards
If parents give their children opportunities to do something, the little ones will become masters of that skill as they grow up. Make sure to add a reading corner in the room so that your kids feel encouraged to read and enjoy their small corner.
Moreover, you can add a small table with sketchbooks, drawing books, and color pencils to ensure they use it sometimes. A dedicated reading nook encourages a love for literature.
Create a cozy haven with a comfortable floor cushion, or maybe a bean bag will be an excellent choice. Designating space for play, coloring, and drawing will keep their imagination and creativity fresh. You can also design a chalkboard wall or a portable art tray, a building block corner with storage bins, or a small play kitchen for aspiring chefs. The choices are unlimited!
Extraordinary lighting
You might say that lighting is like the star-lit sky in a child’s room.
You can select a layered lighting approach with a central overhead light and a bedside table lamp and I would recommend a string of fairy lights for a magical ambiance. All children deserve the best of their imagination to become a part of their daily life.
Colored lights, dim lamps with cool shades, and maybe even a corner lamp to give the room a glow that can transport your child into a happy world is the most meaningful gift.
