6 Really Useful Tips for Decorating a Child’s Bedroom


1 – Have Plenty Of Storage

By the time most children are five or six years old, they already have a tonne of possessions – built up from birthdays and Christmases. Their rooms therefore require a lot of storage. For stuff they don’t need as frequently, use the area under the bed and upper shelves. Then, make sure that the youngsters can easily access toy bins and bookcases. By securing shelving to walls and ensuring that everything heavy is out of reach, you can also make sure that the space is safe enough for children to play in unattended.

2 – Include A Desk

Any child’s room can benefit greatly from the addition of a modest, high-quality desk. Younger kids will sit at the desk and colour and doodle while feeling important and grown up. The same workstation will be used to read, complete homework, and interact with friends online as they get older.


3 – Invest In Quality Furniture

Children don’t always treat their furniture with care. So, if you want it to look good and last a long time, you should buy high-quality pieces when you can. A solid wood wardrobe with drawers is a great example of a durable and useful piece of furniture, and you can also find a number of excellent kids beds that will stand the test of time.

4 – Accessorise

If your walls are plain and simple, you can do a lot with the things you put on them. The rooms of children look great with colourful bedding, posters, and prints. You won’t mind as much if you have to change their accessories in a few months/years if you buy them for less money and match them to their current tastes. Soft rugs and pillows can also make a child’s bedroom more comfortable and stylish.


5 – Get Them Involved

Let your kids help you choose furniture and colours. After all, it is their room. You could also paint some pictures or make some arts and crafts to hang up. They will be very proud of something they made themselves and can show off in their own room.

6 – Think Of The Future

As your child grows and develops, plan ahead for their future needs and, depending on you, for the possibility of having more children. If you’re thinking about doing this and you want them to share a room, you should be as ready as possible. Be sure to include room for a second bed, a closet large enough to accommodate two people’s clothes, and a colour scheme that is gender-neutral.
