How To Design Your Little One’s Room

When it comes to kids’ rooms, less is usually more. Creating a space for your little one to grow and play should and can be a fun experience if you make it out to be.

It can also be a little bit challenging. Creating a beautiful, functional room that your child will love for years to come can be a tricky job. The space that your child will spend a lot of time in must be calming, fun, and inviting all at once. Read on to find how you can create a safe space for your kid to learn, grow and thrive in.

Wall art

Many parents make the mistake of buying expensive wall art for their child’s room, and such wall art doesn’t serve any purpose for your child. It’s better to use your child’s craft, art, or anything that your child shows interest in as wall art. You can create a unique gallery wall that you will be proud of. You can even go for something fun and informative. This will motivate them to spend more time doing what they like. 

Make room for magic

Kids can see the world differently from adults, infusing imagination and magic into every day. You can decorate your kids’ room with some fairy lights and glow-in-the-dark ceiling stars.

This can give the room the feeling of an adventure. With its glittery fairy lights and cute star motif, this whimsical design holds the power to invite its little owner to come and play.

Storage

From their toys and books to their ever-changing wardrobe in different sizes, your kids’ stuff can take up a lot of room. In this situation, you can use the space smartly, go for wall cupboards and wall shelves, get small boxes and buckets for used clothes and toys that can go under the bed. Make sure to babyproof every piece of storage and don’t stuff the room with a lot of furniture. 

Colour theme

Kids love color, but sometimes choosing the right one can become overwhelming. You can always go for a bright, cheery room with multiple color options to make it more fun. Multiple color composition offers a clever compromise. The room mirrors a rainbow of beautiful color compositions with neutral settings that can be easily updated later on.

Cushions

There is a variety of stuff available online for your convenience. Buying cloud-shaped pillows and cushions can give a creative nudge to your little one’s imagination. You can go ahead with the idea of a cloud nursery, designing the whole room with a cloud theme.  A cloud theme can be ideal since it brings a sense of calm and soothing vibe into the room.

Busy Hands and Mind

You can have a kid-friendly work area that can help boost the creative side of your kid. Providing your child with a place to color and create will not only keep them occupied but would surely help in physical and mental development as well.

A comfortable workstation with little chairs can be a good space for doing arts and crafts. It can be playful yet stylish, and it can be easily created into a homework station for an older child.

A getaway space

Everyone needs a space to get away, from time to time. A reading nook can be that place for your little one. It can be an excellent place for some quality alone time and it comes with the added benefit of encouraging your kid to curl up with a good book.

Make sure the space you create is a cozy one. There can even be room for cuddles or inviting a friend over.

Play focus

Having a playhouse in the room is a good idea, in this way you can assure that toys are not littered everywhere in the room. Be innovative with the playhouse, add a small and safe ladder and slide that can add fun to your kid’s room. Bunk beds can be a good idea since they take up less space.

These little things can encourage the playful side of your kid while helping to burn some extra, pre-bedtime energy. This playful setting can increase your child’s passion for exploration.

Shapes design

You can buy all kinds of toys for your kids nowadays. From triangular shapes to square blocks, to Lego games, the options are plenty. When you are out shopping for your kid’s toys, always make sure to keep it interesting, playful yet a learning experience all at once.

Open shelves

You cannot expect young kids to be systematic. A little training in this context can go a long way. Providing multiple open shelves with bins or baskets to keep all their toys and games will help make your little one understand the concept of cleanliness at a young age. It can also teach them to keep the games and toys at their respective place after use.

Let there be light

A kids’ room can open up with the right lighting. Letting the natural light shine in through the windows can be good for your little one’s growing body and brain. Choose lighting options that don’t take up a lot of space in the room. Light is crucial for keeping the space feeling airy and open. A budding child’s room should always have space for natural lighting since it brings out positive energy to the room.

Brighten up with plants

Adding flowers can breathe additional life into your little one’s room. Be careful not to overcrowd it. It is important to keep in mind that there should be no dying plants since they can have the opposite effect. If you worry about not being able to maintain your plants and flowers, buying some fake green can also be a good idea as there will be no worrying about its breakage.

Conclusion

When you are bringing a kid home, you need to think carefully and imaginatively to make the space comfortable for the kid. Always design the room from your child’s perspective, they need less fancy things and more space to crawl and play. You need to babyproof the whole room, stay away from anything bulky. 

From a mixture of colors, to hip toys, to patterns and designs which bring out enthusiasm, every little detail matters. You need to make sure that the child has a room which they love. The sky is your limit and the key is to always have fun along the way.
