8 tips for designing better kids' rooms

4. Try Different Layouts for Children's Bedroom Design

Choose a layout that will allow you to make the most of the space. Make a list of everything that needs to be in the room and try out different furniture arrangements to see what works. If your kids are going to be sharing a room, twin beds will work in a big enough room and in a smaller one, bunk beds for kids might be a better option. An elevated bed will make space for a study area or a reading nook below the bed, leaving room for a play area.

Layouts that demarcate the various functional areas can benefit children of all ages. It can allow them the freedom to regulate their routines and develop a sense of accountability. It can help them focus when needed, have fun during playtime and finally relax for bedtime. Having special nooks and separated areas can make the room appear more spacious as well.
 

A dresser is another fundamental kids' room furniture piece. Changing up the finish and the drawer handles or knobs can give it a fresh look. While study tables might not be adjustable, you can easily find comfy and cute kids' study chairs. Adjustable chairs can easily transition to the next phase in life.

Versatile lighting options are also a good idea for children's bedroom design. Task lighting and dimming lights transition well into various designs. Add to that night lamps and ambient lighting, and you're good to go.

6. Pick Children's Bedroom Ideas that Provide Multi-sensorial Engagement

Colour and patterns are a great way to introduce visual stimulation in a room. And there are so many ways to get creative with it. Murals, quirky wallpapers, glow in the dark stick-on, and fun false ceiling designs are some excellent ways to do it. Accessories are another great alternative. Paint a toy that can double up as a display; showcase all their books on open shelves; use colourful bins for cubbies. There are limitless children's bedroom ideas.

Textures and patterns are powerful decorating tools. They add visual interest to a room and provide tactile stimulation for the little ones. Soft and plush textures are great options for kids as they make the space feel comfortable and inviting. Textiles such as curtains, bed linens, throw pillows, and rugs can be used to add texture and colour to the room, keeping things playful.

Patterns in a room can add dynamism. Once again, wallpaper and textiles are where you can start. This is also a great opportunity to incorporate children's personalities into the room. Look for patterns that reflect their interests, for example, animals, space, superheroes, sea creatures, etc.
 

8. Getting the Flooring in Kids' Bedrooms is Crucial

It is crucial to pick a flooring option that is gentle and safe for your babies yet easy enough to clean and maintain. Carpet, vinyl, rubber and wood are some popular options.

Carpets are warm, soft, shock-absorbent and soundproof. The downside is that they can be difficult to clean and are not the most hygienic option. Wood can last a long time, and the damage can be fixed with some refinishing. But you don't have to worry about allergies or VOCs with either natural or engineered wood. Vinyl is a great option due to the variety it is available in and it's easy maintenance. But it is not a sustainable option and may pose health risks since it releases VOCs.

A Few Details to Consider when Designing Children's Bedroom Interior Design

• Ensure that the paint finish you choose can be cleaned and scrubbed if needed.

• When you're considering layouts, think of how you and your  kid(s) will move around in the space.

• Incorporate your children's art into the décor to encourag them to keep creating and also change up the space in little ways.

• Do not underestimate your storage requirements.

• Try to keep things at eye level for the child(ren) to make the  room more accessible for them.

• Have a dedicated workstation for them to create or work on any of their hobbies.

• Add personal touches with some mementoes.

• Get gentle lighting. Children may not need as much light as adults, but a combination of ambient lighting, desk light, reading light and a night light can be helpful.
