Our guide to the best kids’ room ideas
How to create a warm and creative room for children
Your kids' room should both inspire your kids to be creative and serve as a place for relaxation and tranquility. Combining these two functions in one room can have its challenges, but it’s also an excellent opportunity to let your imagination run wild. And why not also include your kids when styling their getaway?
Keep the room clutter free
It’s a classic among most parents. Getting more toys, books, and puzzles than you thought was ever possible. Our suggestion is to take a good look at all these things that are overflowing your kids' room and give away the ones that are no longer being used.
OK, so now you’ve done this, but what about the rest? From our experience, kids enjoy their toys more when they have their own place and are not just crammed into a box underneath the bed. Creating an excellent storage solution will make for a better environment for everyone involved.
Storing the inevitable clutter is easily done with some beautiful boxes and baskets. Our suggestion is to have one box or basket per specific toy type. So, keep all the toy cars in one box, dolls in another, etc. By doing this, you will free up more space in the room while also making it easier to know where things are stored.
As for books, puzzles and decorations, they can be placed on shelves that are easily accessible for both children and parents. Adding shelves (and art prints) on the walls is also an excellent way to not only tie the room together but also keep the room clutter free.
Spruce things up with cute decorations
Decorations are great for adding that extra touch to your kids’ room. By utilizing them correctly, you will be able to elevate the room from ordinary to extraordinary. And it’s also fun!
What are your children’s interests? Animals, space or just something cute and fun? Now it’s time to find a decoration that matches your kids' preferences while also adding that extra dazzle to the room.
Thankfully, there are many great decorations to choose from. Take your pick from a braided wall decoration, a planet-decorated bunting and animal-shaped wooden hooks where they can hang their clothes instead of throwing them on a chair.
Growing plants is something that many kids find exciting. Why not consider getting a cute animal-like plant pot and then filling it with soil and planting a seed? Now you have something that will look cute and become a fun activity for the whole family.
Transform the bedroom into a pillow paradise
One thing that you almost never can have enough of is pillows on your kids' beds. Actually, the bed isn’t the only place where a pillow fulfills a function — they work equally well on a chair or, crazy as it might sound, on the floor, since this is where a lot of playing and reading goes on.
When deciding which pillows to fill your kids' room with, you’ll have plenty of options. A blue muslin seat cushion, for example, might be a good alternative if you have a maritime theme. Or, if there's more of an animal theme going on in your kids' room, you might want to opt for a teddy bear or elephant-shaped pillow. The options are close to endless.
Adding pillows will most definitively transform your kids’ bedrooms into a soft and warm place where you can read bedtime stories all night long. Or at least until your child falls asleep.
Toys can be both fun and well-designed
We are firm believers that toys can be both fun for kids and an excellent decoration detail in your home. So, away with the cheap plastic toys that will inevitably break and in with soft quality toys instead.
In our experience, almost all children love animals of some sort. And that’s a good thing for all parents since soft toys can be found in the shape of a wide variety of animals. For example, there are toys that look like dogs, elephants or even imaginary favorites such as unicorns and dragons. Regardless of preference, there will definitively be a soft toy your kids will enjoy.
Don’t forget about rugs
Adding a rug to your kids’ room is not only good for a splash of color. It’s also a nice and comfortable way to warm up cold floors where your child can read or play with toys. Having said this, it’s also important to find a rug that sets a good tone for the room since it’s a significant piece that won’t go unnoticed.
As with most things in kids' rooms, you can either opt for a rug with a certain theme that matches the rest of the room and your kids' interests or something more simple like a striped cotton rug. Either option will work great, and rugs truly are a great way to add a finishing touch to any room.
