How do I decorate a kid’s bedroom?

When contemplating over both girls’ room and boys room ideas, consider their personality and interests – whether your child is 4 or 14, kids’ room decor should always reflect their personality. In terms of color, incorporate a favorite hue on the walls or bring in bright accents, but stick with neutral furniture that doesn’t need to be swapped out as interests change. Make sure that the furniture is appropriate for your child’s age; it also should be something that can grow with him or her.

How do I decorate a playroom?

A playroom should be very lively and inspirational, so get creative with your color and furnishings. A wall painting is a great way to incorporate playful design. Using fun furnishings, like beanbag chairs or floor cushions, and brightly colored textiles to encourage happy moods. Put up their artwork and design a space that encourages their interests. If they are big readers, consider a reading nook.

Because it is a multifunctional room, use space smartly. Install built-in cabinets and shelves for much-needed toy storage, and include a desk or worktable for homework and coloring. Divide the space into zones so that quieter kids can draw or read while more active kids can watch TV or play a musical instrument.

What kind of storage should I have for a kid’s area?

With so many toys and clothes, keeping a kid’s room clutter-free can be difficult. That’s why effective storage is key. Add built-ins if you can, but fixing shelves is great option. Use the closet’s full storage capacity – install hanging organizers, add another rod for clothing and put in accessible drawers. Kids’ rooms are inherently a creative and somewhat messy space, so don’t expect pristine conditions all the time – strategically place baskets and toy chests around the space, and encourage your child to throw items in these containers after use to quickly clear space.

How can I create a kids bedroom for multiple siblings?

If you have two kids at different ages, with varying styles, tastes and preferences sharing one space, creating a co-habitable bedroom can be difficult. The key is to give each child its own area. Split the room so that each kid has their bed and dresser on “their” side of the room. If that isn’t possible, find an arrangement that feels fair and doesn’t cloister them too close together. A bunk bed can be a great space-saver.

For both your kids
If you have a boy and girl sharing a space, don’t panic – this IS a feasible undertaking! Make sure interests of both kids are reflected equally in the kids’ room decor. Ditch the outdated idea of blue for a boy and pink for a girl, and go with what colors they actually like. You can unify a space by using the same types of furniture and pieces, but customize them through different patterns, paintings, bedding, etc. Make sure to always get the input of the kids; this should be a collaborative and fun design process!

Boost the Comfort Level

Add colorful pillows on everything: benches, chairs and even grab some oversized ones for the floor. Low-lying seating could also be a good arrangement for an outdoor space. It gives the place a casual and warm feel.

Create Conversational Areas

Pull all your chairs into smaller groupings perfect for intimate conversations. Be sure to include a few tables for setting done drinks and food. If you have a terrace flat it, your job is half done. Creating a cozy place in your terrace will not be of a problem at all.
