Decorating your child’s bedroom is not as easy a task as you might think. Whether you have a sports fan or a little girl who’s in love with fairies, it can be challenging deciding what decor to use.
Children’s imaginations are endless, and their sleeping chambers should be a magical place where they can be themselves and let their dreams come true. We take a look at some tips and tricks for unique kid’s bedroom ideas.
Use Space Wisely
Regardless of the room’s size, making the most of your child’s space is a necessity. A raised bed is a beautiful way to double the usable area in a modern sleeping chamber. It creates an additional play zone that can become a reading nook or a mini lounge in the future.
Be sure to get the best mattress for kids so that the bed is comfortable and provides your child with a good night’s sleep.
Window Color
One of the easiest ways to brighten up any room is to use decorative and brightly colored curtains. No matter what theme you’re aiming for, you’re bound to find drapes that match. If the room’s walls have textured wallpaper that looks busy, try to keep the window hangings plain and without patterns, so the area doesn’t look too cluttered or busy.
Increase Storage
Children have a lot of stuff, from games, toys, and books, to their clothes in multiple sizes. It can be daunting to find space for all those small items. Fortunately, there are numerous options available on the market for furniture that can help with storage space.
Consider installing a second rail into your child’s cupboard or wall-hugging book rails. Small mounted blocks and crates can make it easier for little hands to put things away where they belong.

A Splash of Color
Kids love bright colors, but they also tend to go through phases as they grow. Instead of painting the entire room in a particular shade, it’s better to keep the walls neutral and use decorative accents to bring brightness. Pictures and posters mounted on the sides can offset the starkness of the bare paint.
There are all sorts of themed stickers available in large sizes, that peel off easily when changing the decor style. Include a rainbow of colorful accessories to make the space look lively.
Create a Cozy Corner
Sometimes we all need to get away from it all and spend a few hours on our own. A reading corner or cozy nook is an excellent place for your child to spend some quality time alone. Create a space in their room where they can have privacy to relax and page through amazing stories.
It’s not only an area that they can feel safe in, but it will also encourage them to pick up a book and read.

Dedicated Art Area
A big part of childhood is exploration and creation. Children love to get their hands dirty, with clay, paints, or other exciting tools to help them bring to life their ideas. If you want to make it easier to keep things clean in your kid’s bedroom, ensure there’s a desk or workspace that they can use when they want to create.
Teach them that it’s an area dedicated to letting their imaginations run wild. At an early age, they can learn that anything used should be cleaned and kept in the same place. This way, any time inspiration hits, they have everything they need in one location.
Night Time Glow
Young children often tend to fear the dark. To make them feel more at ease at bedtime, stick some glowing pictures on the ceiling or the wall next to the bed. Dim bedside lights with images such as stars are another excellent way to create a soothing atmosphere in the room.
Focusing on the pictures on the wall can calm a child and help them drift off to sleep. If they wake in the night, they won’t be scared if the familiar glow is present.

Final Thoughts
Children should have a room that they can be proud of and feel safe in. It doesn’t mean that it can’t be functional too. Use the space available to its fullest by investing in a loft bed, or one that has extra storage underneath.
Instead of painting the entire room one color, use curtains and accessories to brighten up a neutral area. Create a special place where they can go to be alone when they want to. It’s also a good idea for them to have a specific space to create beautiful artworks or crafts.
To help them feel at ease at bedtime, place some glow in the dark stickers on the ceiling, or install a dimmer night light.
