The children’s bedroom should be customized in its interior design to infuse comfort and a fun experience. It is important to note that the children’s bedroom is designed differently from the adult’s rooms.
In the interior design of the rooms, great detail of exceptional work should be factored in to ensure the children will love the room and be proud of it even when they are grown up. In designing the children’s bedroom, consider the following factors:
1. Keep it Simple
To save cost and avoid complex designs that will create confusion, simplicity is paramount. In interior design, less is more. The décor should be simple to make yet outstanding at first glance.
The open floor space is great for some indoor games. Additionally, the shelves that are wide in the make are crucial for the storage of the kid’s toys. Furthermore, the shelf is essential in the arrangement of the wardrobe containing the children’s clothes.
2. Focus on Play
In as much as the bedroom is a place for rest or sleep, a playful environment in the bedroom should be well arranged. Skipping ropes is one way of ensuring play is fun. In the same vein, a chalkboard for easy art and painting should be well displayed on the wall.
For the girls, dolls will keep them busy while for the boys, football never goes wrong. An in-built way of a little fun and energy is having rock climbing on the wall that is short, safe, and fun. Rock climbing helps in exercise and burning calories.
3. Making the Most of your Child’s space
Every space available should be utilized to the maximum so that play becomes fun and a joyous experience. For example, instead of having a double-decker bed, just have a single bed and this will create space for indoor games such as scrabble.
More so, in having a foldable bed, a lot of space will be created. This space is important for study time while having a chair and a table and also as mentioned above, an additional play area for art and painting that boosts the child’s creativity.
4. Double-up on Storage
Children have a lot in possession and if not well organized, the room will be a total mess. The toys, games, and books should be well arranged. To save on space and avoid unnecessary clutter, one drawer should be used to store all of the kid’s possession rather than having storage separate for toys, books, and games.
For instance, books and art material will be placed in one section of the drawer while games will be placed in a different section. The clothes will fit in properly in their hangers and shoes will be stored down the drawer. If the shoes are many, purchase a shoe rack and have it inside the children’s bedroom. In doubling up the storage, one saves on space too.
5. Play With Colour
Children adore color. Finding the right and appropriate color can be problematic as colors are as different as people’s second names. The kid may love blue or even hot pink but their color preference might change as they continue growing up.
Repainting the room should be done when proper advice from a house painter is considered. Colors are imperative because they transport us to a certain mood. Interestingly, the color combination in the bedroom is a direct reflection of the family’s personality.
6. Incorporate pattern and Texture
Interesting, colorful, and attractive patterns riddled with amazing and repetitive textures make the kid’s bedroom stand out. Patterns complement the colors used especially on the painted wall.
Additionally, textures either on the wall or the tiles floor make the décor appealing. The accent wall with a simple backdrop captivates the simple pattern with the texture.
Mood lighting or table lighting should be considered as the lighting used will complement the pattern's design and infuse creative texture not just from its appearance but also how it reflects the lighting system used.
7. Frames or Mounted Pictures
Art either as a mounted photo or a framed one makes the bedroom’s wall design epic. Pictures stand out as they speak volumes of treasured memories. Blank walls without any framed pictures or mounted ones are neutral in nature and have a “boring feel” towards the room.
Children who love simple drawing, art, or simple colors will find inspiration from art and photography, especially from professional photographers. In the same vein, mounted pictures complement the paint colors of the wall and make the interior design creative.
Finally, by having the children’s own photos framed or mounted in their bedroom, the children will feel that they ideally own their space.
Less is more in design. In designing the children’s bedroom, consider budget-friendly ways to ensure the design isn’t complicated but simple yet interesting and appealing to the eyes. If the interior design seems a hard nut to crack, hire a professional interior designer.
The pro in interior design will make your work easier and guarantee your child’s bedroom is nothing short of outstanding and exceptional in appearance and design.
