For a child, there is no place more important than the bedroom. Children need to have their own space where they can have privacy, make it their own and relax. Therefore, you want to make sure that you are thoughtful when decorating this space and make it a place that feels like their own. Here are a few ideas that should help. If you want a great inexpensive way you can use stencils to create nice artwork on the wall.
Ask What Colour
First, it is a good idea to ask what colour they would like. This is important because you are involving them in the decision-making process and it will help the space to feel like their own. Keep in mind, their favourite colour is likely to change a few times over the years so you may need to make a few changes!
Make Sure They Have Storage Space
You also want to make sure that they have enough storage space so that they can keep all of their toys organised. This is as much as it is for you as it is for them as there is nothing worse than treading on a Lego when trying to clean their room!
Create Escapism
The possibilities are endless for a child’s bedroom and you want to encourage them to use their creativity. As mentioned by Lights4Fun: “creating that sense of escapism in your little one’s room is key, especially during these unusual times”. This could include creating a theme, such as pirates, princesses or anything else that they are currently interested in.
Add Warm Lights
In terms of lighting, you want to add warm lighting to create a cosy feel. “Warm white lighting will help to relax them, turning their room into a sanctuary where they can zone out for a little while”.
Focus On Play
As adults, we tend to focus on making our spaces look as cool and as stylish as possible. Kids do not care about the latest interior design trends and simply want a space where they can play and relax. Therefore, you should focus on making this a suitable space for these activities.
Use Multifunctional Furniture
Multifunctional furniture is perfect for a kid’s room because it can free up space so that they can play. Chairs with built-in storage, bookcases with a fold-down table and beds with storage units underneath are all smart investments.
Introduce Their Interests
Whether it’s their favourite animal or their favourite sport, you can consider ways to personalise your little one’s bedroom with features that relate to their interests. This will make it feel like their own space and a reflection of their personality.
Plan For Sounds
You also want to make this a space that can be quiet and free from distractions, especially when they are doing their homework. Setting up the desk away from the door could make a big difference and give them the peace that they need.
Hopefully, this post will give you a few ideas to create the perfect space for your child.
