5 pieces of furniture essential to a functional kids room

Everything Your Child Needs, Spread Across One Wall

The basic, bare minimum pieces of furniture you’ll need to include in a child’s bedroom design are a bed, a desk, a closet or chest of drawers, and shelves for books, toys and other belongings. To place all these around a room in such a way that your little one also has space to move around and play may feel like a real life game of Tetris. An easy method for creating a bit of uniformity is planning everything across one wall. If your kids’ room design has an entire breadth of wall space unobstructed with windows or anything else on the wall, use this as a your starting point to fit in all the pieces of furniture.

Multifunctional Kids Room Furniture for a Small Space Home

The key to planning any small space home is finding ways to utilize the floor space judiciously, adding in furniture which makes the most of the area it takes up. In a kid’s room design, buying furniture that serves more than its one main purpose is a clever way to free up room for other things your child might need. While a single bed is always the best option for saving space, don’t forget the expansive area under it that is often overlooked. Adding in storage drawers or boxes beneath the bed can double as additional closet space for children’s belongings. In this Swiss Army knife style single bed which offers multiple features, not only do we see storage space below it, but we also find a desk at the foot of the bed with it’s own drawers for stationary supplies.

Design Advice: If you can’t find a multifunctional piece of furniture in a store that works for you, consider the choice to customise and build your own furniture to suit your needs and requirements. Whether you need more storage space or more functionality when it comes to a bed design or any other piece of furniture, spending a little extra on a customised piece of furniture will enhance your lifestyle and living habits in the longer run.

Customize Your Kids Room Furniture According to their Needs

While you may have a kids room design in mind that you think is just right for your little one, their idea of what they want and what they need may be a little different from what you’ve imagined. And a child’s room should serve as a sanctuary for them to rest, unwind, and be comfortable enough to study and play. Sitting down with your child (however young they are) and making a list of what they’d like in their room may help create a starting point from where to begin their bedroom design. While, of course, a child’s imagination can run wild (and bring forth ideas that arenext to impossible!) you could, in the process, filter out a few of their likes and habits that can be recreated in their room.

A Kids Room Design Which Will Grow as they do

Children’s tastes and preferences change as they grow—from their favourite characters and pop culture figures to their preferred colours. And, while they’d like to reflect that in the décor of their room, it’s unreasonable to renovate their rooms with each new fad or trend they decide to adopt or follow. There are certain methods you could adopt, however, to find a solution—design the room in a neutral palette, incorporating a similar shade across the walls, furniture, ceiling for your kid's bedroom, follow and permanent fixtures, to serve as a blank canvas for working other moveable items. After that, you can swap your child’s décor pieces and accessories from time to time as they begin to change with age.

An Enchanting Bedroom Design to Expand Your Child’s Imagination

When designing your child’s bedroom, it’s important to take their imaginations into consideration and create a room that will help nurture and grow it. Even while indoors, it is important for a kid’s room design and décor to inspire them to explore, think and be creative. While minimal décor may be a dream for most adult minimalists, something similar in a child’s bedroom design can end up being counter productive. Whether it’s for a toddler or a young child, creating areas in their bedroom where they can improve their sensory skills will go a long way in their mental and physicalgrowth.
