It can be a tall order trying to create the perfect children’s room. You have to make the space fun and interesting, but also cozy and comforting. Striking the balance between the two can be challenging, but there are several ways you can successfully achieve this goal.
So if you’re ready to turn your children’s bedroom into a space that fosters growth, creativity, and comfort, keep reading our guide.
Functionality and safety
The primary concern for any kid’s bedroom is that it’s both functional and safe. Since you’ll typically have less space to work with, you might want to invest in modular furniture that can suit multiple purposes. A bookcase storage shelf with a built-in reading nook might be perfect for an avid reader, or a play area that converts into additional storage for a more playful child.
You’ll also want to childproof the furniture in the room, which can involve removing sharp corners from furniture, keeping wires and cables tucked away, and ensuring any electrical outlets are covered.
Encouraging creativity and play
Kids of all ages love to be creative, whether that’s through drawing, playing, or another activity. Of course, an interest in drawing has led to many parents finding ‘expert artwork’ on walls throughout the home.
To avoid this, you may want to create a dedicated creative wall space. You can install a large, magnetic whiteboard on a wall in their room, giving them the tools to freely create on a more suitable canvas.
It’s important to remember that no child is the same, so tailor your creative options to what your child expresses their interests in.
Bunk beds: A space-saving solution
Whether you have multiple children or just one, a bunk bed can be the perfect addition to any child’s room. While you may be familiar with traditional bunk beds suitable for two or three kids, you can also get options with storage or a desk underneath.
Getting one of these kids’ bunk beds can provide your child with a dedicated space in their room, perfect for a range of hobbies.
If you do purchase a bunk bed, it’s important to remember several safety guidelines.
- Children under 6 should not sleep in the top bunk.
- There should be guardrails along every edge of the bunkbed.
- Children should not play on the ladders of a bunk bed.
- Avoid placement near ceiling fans or hanging lights.
Personal touches
Last but not least, adding personal touches is crucial to creating your child’s perfect bedroom. To do this most effectively, you should directly involve your child throughout the process. Ask what colours they’d like, include their artwork, and make dedicated spaces for their hobbies.
By following these steps to create a room that reflects your child’s interests and personality, they will have an incredible room that they feel extremely comfortable and safe in.
