If you're in the middle of decorating a bedroom for your child, you're probably all too familiar with the design challenge it poses.
Between the soft and gentle newborn nursery and the ultra-personalized teenage bedroom, how do you create a space that'll work for your child during the years in between?
It's achievable through a good color palette, subtle themes, functional spaces, and unique decor decisions, according to experts.
The following kids' bedroom ideas and professional advice will give you plenty of inspiration while you design a space that'll bring your child years of comfort, fun, and enjoyment.
🧢 Matching bed frames look adorable and polished in kids' rooms. They pull a shared space together well, especially with matching sheets. You can then express individualism through bedside decor, specific teddy bears, and wall art.
🧢 Don't feel like you have to stuff a room with toys. Sometimes, a minimal approach looks the best and still feels like they have plenty to do.
A rope swing, basketball hoop, and musical instruments with a rug to ground the spacto e make for a comfortable spot to have fun.
🧢 A neutral color palette is never a bad idea, especially for kids' rooms as their favorite colors and interests may often change. Add warm vintage touches if a fully minimalist room feels too cold.
This could be an antique desk and chair, a bronze pendant light with a bare bulb, and old lanterns and dollhouses for decor.
🧢 To make a gallery wall all the sweeter in a child's bedroom, select artwork that they've made themselves. The best part is that with a set of simple frames, you can swap out different paintings and drawings as they age and create new pieces.
🧢 Peaceful and serene kids' rooms look best with muted color palettes, but they don't have to be boring. Opt for faded indigo, pale, pink, moss green, and light blue and sprinkle them around the space through pillows, art, and cushions.
🧢 If your child dreads homework time, create a fun sanctuary for them where they'll actually enjoy sitting. Find a spot with ample light and offer colorful supplies that'll encourage them to keep going.
🧢 There are many creative ways to personalize a bedroom that are also temporary if their favorite color or themes change. Hang their name from a branch that's been upcycled with paint or string, and match that to the pillows for a cute (but eventually changeable) finish.
