Your child’s bedroom is arguably the most important room in your home. Whether playing, working or sleeping, it’s the one space your little one gets to call their very own. A happy bedroom makes a happy child. With this in mind, it pays to get it right and create a room that is calming yet stimulating, organised, yet relaxed. Striking the right balance is key, but where do you begin?
Perhaps the most sensible thing to consider first is how to maximise your available space. Whether it’s a single or double bed you require, bookcase or bedside cabinet, it’s important to know your limitations and remember that storage is king when it comes to choosing your children's beds and furniture!
A well organised bedroom with easy storage solutions means that after a hard day’s playing, your child will have a tidy room and tidy mind, just in time for bed. Consider under bed storage, cabin beds, high sleepers and decorative storage bags – practical, stylish and great for scooping up stray toys at the end of each day!
Finally, don’t overlook those essential finishing touches. Light up wall art, fairy lights, wall stickers and beautiful fabrics will make all the difference to whatever theme you choose.
To kick start your mood board we have some great ideas that might help you find a style to suit your home – and your child.
Soothing neutrals - Playing it safe with neutral colours allows you to create a backdrop to your child’s room that can be up-styled and altered long with their tastes. Calming colours such as beige and grey are also conducive to a relaxing night’s sleep and will suit a baby’s nursery and teenage bedroom alike.
Sleep tight in all white - No one can argue with white for a child’s room. Not only does it inject a clean, fresh feel, but it also allows for splashes of colour to add interest and focus. These can be changed to suit any passing phase, of which there will be plenty in your child’s early years, we’re sure! In addition, use singular vintage pieces, such as stools, chairs or mirrors for a unique and homely touch.
Perfect pastels – Clean, calm and simple, pastels are a great way to brighten up a dull room without seeming too busy. Mixing and matching certain shades is also a charming way to inject some fun into your child’s room.
Boho baby –With fabulous, colourful fabrics and eye-catching prints, bohemian themed bedrooms are every child’s dream. Rugs, tassels and canopies galore, all make for a cosy, attractive and interesting space.
Not everything is black and white – Or is it? The monochrome bedroom is best left to teens. Mature and edgy with a splash of colour if needs be, this versatile style is loved by all and very effective too.
Mid-century mode – Love it or hate it, the mid-century trend could be a life saver if you’re looking to upcycle some statement pieces of furniture. Practical, low maintenance and easy on the eye, just one simple sideboard could solve all your storage struggles! Pair with a painted white bed and your child will be oozing cool.
Patterns and paint – Bold, bright and endlessly cheerful, use colour blocking and patterns to create a sunny space that will make your child smile. Use shades that complement each other, such as mint, pink and grey. When using strong tones, incorporate white to prevent colour clashing. Alternatively, consider a wall mural or stickers to create a striking focal point. There are hundreds of patterns and colours to choose from so let your creativity flow!
