Children, as you know (because at some stage you were one too), are creative, innovative and greatly imaginative.

Welcome on-board as we discover 8 super great and easy tips for creating the perfect kids’ space and having fun in doing so.

1. Get the Kids Involved to Create the Perfect Kids Room

–   you will make them feel like a million bucks if you do!

• Great time for bonding, sharing thoughts and ideas too.

• Let them choose specific colours and themes – these can effectively be incorporated in the room’s decorative accessories – furnishings, cushions, artwork or even a stuffed toy.

2. Moodboard, Google, Lego, Play Dough, Library and Magazines

Creating a moodboard with the kids can be fun. They can gather pictures of furniture, accessories and ideas they like and together you can create a fun new world of bright decorating ideas.  

–  and off you all go to the library

Get a couple of Creative Ideas for Kids Room books and magazines to take home. Give them each (yourself included) strips of coloured paper to use as place holders for pictures they found. You can even colour code the place holders. For example, red for beds. Blue for pictures on the wall, etc.

–  just Google …

Oh yes! Then there is GOOGLE. Need I say more? On Google, you can visit furniture provider sites. The beauty of this is, on the web page, sizes and description of the item are found. The images can be downloaded, printed and added to your moodboard.

–  then there is Lego …and Play Dough too

Nifty little fingers can Lego build a bed or mould one from Play Dough. Build a bedroom wall and even add a floor. Lego and Play Dough would work very well to simulate items in the room and where to place the furniture. The advantage of using Play Dough is that it comes in all the basic colours. This would help with the choice of prefered colours for an item.

3. The Value of a Moodboard

• Helps you gather ideas and inspirations into once place.
• It will give you an idea of what the finished room will look like.
• It will give you an idea of what will work in the room or not – be it the colour scheme, furniture and accessories.
• When it comes to decorating an area knowing sizes do matter – for example, would the size of the room be large enough to accommodate the bunker bed you were thinking of putting in it?
• It will help you to stay with the original plan.
• It will help you to make changes to the original plan and then to evaluate whether the changes will work for the area or not.

4. Child Bedroom Furniture

There are some really wonderful and not too expensive child bedroom furniture out there.

• Decide on furniture not only for their durability and sturdiness but one that the child can grow into.
• Choose furniture that matches or highlight the basic colour scheme of the room.

5. Featuring….Beds 

 The Bunk Bed

These are top of the list space savers. Generally, bunk beds consist of two beds. One on top of the other with ample space between. Often bunk beds would have storage space under the lower bed or beneath the top bed.

 Midi Sleepers

Truly an inspirational and awesome space saver.

The space under the midi sleeper can be utilised for additional storage or a study desk.

It is worthy to note that even the steps leading up to the bed have been optimised for storage. Such a great idea.

 The Car Bed

As the name would suggest – beds resembling vehicles. These beds have the capacity to create wonderful memories.  The only negative feature would be that children would eventually outgrow them and therefore would need to be replaced with age-appropriate beds.

 The Trundle Bed

These beds are great space savers.

Trundle beds are low profile bunk beds and great for kid sleepovers.

• Under the bed, there is an extra bed that can be pulled out.
• Some trundle beds have hideaway storage drawers instead of a bed.
• The space savers are those with storage drawers tucked away within the pull out bed. 

 Then there is the bedroom suite

Kids’ bedroom suites are a set of coordinating furniture for the room.

6. Theme Park Bedrooms 

Rather stay away from decorating the room to represent a theme park trend. Kids grow up and trends change.

Redecorating the room each time for the next phase or trend will cost you a lot of money.

Rather choose a contemporary theme that can easily and cost-effectively be changed.

Themes can successfully be incorporated into the bedroom with themed decorative cushions, accessories and artwork.

7. Accessorise 

Accessorise – the best kept decorative secret that can magically and inexpensively transform a space into something marvellous and wonderful without changing the basics.

Decorative cushions are so versatile and accommodating. They can easily be switched out to complement any theme and used for pop colours too.

If you have not been using a throw before why not add one now.

Bring artificial plants into the area.

With accessories your options are limitless. But a word of warning though. Do not over accessorize. This will make the room look small and cluttered.

8. Natural Light and Curtains 

Avoid using heavy dramatic curtaining in your child’s room. This will make the room look and feel gloomy.

Using neutral colour gauzy curtains and a blackout blind will give you the best results.
