How to create the perfect child’s bedroom

The possibilities are endless when it comes to children’s bedrooms. Decisions, decisions, decisions...So where do you start with such a task?

Choose a solid, dependable children’s bed

The bed is a sensible place to start but be sure to do your research. Imported children’s furniture might be cheaper than handmade alternatives but it’s likely to be of inferior quality too.

Consider how long you want your child’s bed to last. There’s no point buying cheap products if they’re going to fall apart in no time.

 

Once you’ve decided how much you’re prepared to spend shop around for something that will maximise your available space.

 


 

Splash out on a comfortable, supportive mattress

A superior quality, well made bed is only half the story. Children need a mattress that will protect their growing spines and ensure a good night’s sleep. Experts recommend a firm but comfortable children’s mattress with an innerspring system that will not place the spine under stress, unlike cheaper options such as foam.


 

Choose matching children’s furniture that will complement your room

There’s no point squeezing huge wardrobes and chests of drawers into a room if there’s no space left for anything else. If you are really desperate for extra storage, plan your room carefully.

 

Children's furniture for smaller rooms

You might not have space for many pieces of furniture so it’s wise to make sure that what you do opt for ticks all the boxes.

Make sure to look at cabin beds, high sleepers or underbed storage to maximise your space. Such beds can really free up space elsewhere by providing oodles of storage within the footprint of a single bed.

When it comes to children’s wardrobes, choose single width with storage beneath or a tallboy for those added drawers.

 

Children's furniture for larger rooms

Big rooms can often look empty and cold if not planned properly. So if you have the budget, go big. Invest in a child’s double bed, a combination wardrobe and a large chest of drawers to begin with. Fill the available space with attractive, superior quality furniture which can hold its own on such a big stage!


 

Accessorize your child’s bedroom with colour and light

With neutral walls, floors and painted children’s furniture, you can create a masterpiece from scratch. And as your growing child’s tastes change, simply alter their accessories too for a completely fresh look.

 

Children’s bedding

Striking quilts and bedspreads bring children’s bedrooms to life. Matching bedding, cushions and beanbags can enhance this homely effect. Beautiful fabric will always draw the eye, adding interest to a room.

 

Light up wall art and mirrors

For little ones who need a night light, consider the addition of light up wall art. Not only do these pretty pictures serve to comfort children as they drop off to sleep, they also make for a stunning addition to any bedroom wall. Children’s mirrors can have much the same effect with the added bonus of reflecting light into what might otherwise be a dark space.
