Designing a kid’s bedroom is such a fun project with endless styling opportunities! From picking a cute theme to incorporating perfectly-sized furniture and charming accents, this kind of project is one where you can let your creativity run free. But, that doesn’t mean functionality should go out the window! While one of the best parts of a kid’s bedroom is all of the sweet-as-can-be details, we have rounded up six helpful tips that will promise practicality for many years to come.
ACCESSIBILITY IS KEY
When designing your child’s bedroom, always keep accessibility in mind! Placing items within their reach, like storage bins and toy baskets, will encourage independent play. Plus, with access to all of their items, your little ones will also learn self-responsibility when it is time to clean up and put their toys away.
BUILT-IN FUNCTION
Where applicable, it is always smart to look for furniture that not only offers stylish silhouettes but also offers built-in functionality. Features like built-in nightlights and built-in charging ports are not only convenient, but they will also serve a purpose as your child grows with the furnishings.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
While we love the more specialized children’s items in bright colors and distinct styles, there is also something to be said for keeping things a little more simple. Selecting neutrally-hued furniture in simple shapes will stay in style as your child graduates from child to tween to teen. Instead of buying brand new furniture, just change up accent items as your child grows!
DESIGNATED STUDY AREA
If space allows, leave room in your design for a designated study/desk area! Having a special place to color and create will help build a connection between your child and their personal space. And, once they are old enough, this space can naturally transition into a convenient area for homework and studying.
DOUBLE UP ON STORAGE
Buying pieces that offer ample storage should always be part of your furniture selection criteria, even in a kid’s room! Implementing several different pieces with storage capabilities will serve you well as it will be convenient and cut down on mess. From bookcases with plenty of room for books, games and other trinkets, to dressers packed with extra room…
you really can’t go wrong.
INCORPORATE PATTERN + TEXTURE
While this tip is more about aesthetics than function, we couldn’t help but throw it into the mix! Once you outfit your child’s bedroom to be full of practical living elements, it is time to have a little fun with pattern and texture! Pinks, blues, shiny, matte, soft, cozy…the sky is the limit! Including dynamic accents will be an ideal way to make all of your hard work look simply stunning for years to come.
