Children’s Rooms - A Guide to Creating Beautiful and Functional Rooms for Your Kids

Sometimes, you have limited space to achieve all of this, and sometimes you have enough space. But worry no further, because with this simple guide, you are well on your way to creating a bedroom that is both beautiful and functional for your child.

Color

An interesting thing with colors is that they are more powerful than we think. Colors have the capacity to make a room feel smaller or larger. They have an effect on mood and even comprehension. So, choosing the right colors for your child’s bedroom is important.

Warm colors such as yellow, pink and orange tend to elicit feelings of comfort and happiness. Cool colors such as blue, green and purple have a calming effect. With the knowledge of this, you want to choose what’s best for your child. You also want to incorporate your child’s favorite color, so they feel a sense of belonging and connection to the room.

Additionally, your child’s bedroom should follow a color scheme. The three components of this scheme are: the base color, the complementary color and the decorative color. The base color is used for the largest portions of the room such as the walls, floors and furniture. The complementary color balances the base color and can be used for curtains and bedsheets. The decorative color is the smallest component and your child’s favorite color could reflect here in their toys and other accessories.

Storage

From their toys to their clothes and their games, children generally have a lot of stuff. And because of this, there is a tendency for their rooms to appear cluttered. So, expanding the room’s storage potential is important.

This can be done with shelves, under-the-bed storage crates, hooks, and even furniture with built-in storage.

It is a win-win deal because your child’s bedroom instantly becomes decluttered. Plus, your child becomes motivated to assist with cleaning, seeing as the storage options are within his or her reach.

Workspace

Play is important, but children also require a work area to attend to their homework, get started on arts and crafts, including other educational activities. A workspace will teach them to be organized and creative. Plus, it is a fantastic way to facilitate their mental development.

So, for an efficient workstation, a study table is needed with an adjustable chair and of course, a reading lamp.

Lighting

Lighting is another key functional element in decorating a child’s room and it should not be underestimated. Besides the general ceiling lighting, a night light should be considered. Some children find it daunting to sleep in a dark room at night, so a small night lamp next to the bed makes for a functional solution.

Additionally, in a situation where you do not want the ceiling light on constantly, it makes sense to have small lamps to create a warm and cozy atmosphere in the bedroom.

Furniture

With furniture in children’s bedrooms, the best way to go is wooden. Wooden furniture is sturdy and long-lasting. This provides an incredible value for your money. Plus, wooden furniture brings about a certain warmth and richness that is effortlessly stylish. So, when choosing your child’s bedframe, reading desk and shelves, you should go for the wooden variety.

Other Furnishings

Other things you may want to incorporate in your child’s bedroom include rugs. This will provide a soft ground for them to play on. It will also absorb sound and protect their little feet from cold floors.

Photos are another cool addition to children’s bedrooms. You could celebrate your child’s memories by displaying photographs on the walls and shelves. This is also beautiful because it gives them a chance to watch themselves grow over the years.

Lastly, a cozy reading nook could give your child the chance to disappear into the worlds of their favorite books. This nook could be a shelf and a bean bag in a corner of the room. It’s both cuddly and comfortable.
