As your child grows older and maturates throughout the years, their wants and needs for their bedroom will no doubt evolve, too.
This means you’ll need to find fun, yet practical ways to keep their bedroom up to par with their evolving imaginations while still maintaining functionality and versatility.
Not sure where to start? These four practical tips for redesigning your child's bedroom will help make the process a fun experience for everyone:
1. Choose a Theme
Choosing a theme is a wonderful way to tap into your child’s inner world and bring their imagination to life. What makes their eyes wide with wonder? Is it the characters of their new favorite TV show or movie? The moon, stars, and night sky? Fluffy clouds and fairy lights? Whatever it is, their bedroom is perfect for creating a special space to watch their imagination grow.
2. Find Functional Furniture
Though your child’s interests are sure to change and shift with time, the furniture you choose for their bedroom will remain relevant for many years to come. For this reason, you’ll want to find functional designs that will grow along with them, as well as their everchanging needs. The basic pieces you’ll need include a bed, desk, chest of drawers, and storage for toys, books, and other belongings.
Choosing furniture that can play multiple roles will be key. For instance, trundle beds provide built-in storage that can be neatly tucked away, while loft beds create extra floor space for playtime or a quiet reading nook. Some models even have built-in bookshelves and desks to create an even more versatile and functional bedroom furniture piece.
3. Create an Accent Wall
While you'll likely not want to completely repaint your son or daughter's bedroom every time their imagination changes, designating one wall to stretch your child’s creativity will make the task much easier each time you redesign it. Choose a neutral color for three walls, and then let your imagination go wild!
Whether you go with fun paint colors, funky wallpaper, a mural, or colorful built-in bookshelves, an accent wall will help create a bedroom as unique as your child. And then the next time your child’s world of wonder goes in a completely different direction, you’ll only have one wall to redesign, instead of four.
4. Add Accessories
Once you've picked out a theme with the perfect pieces of furniture in place, adding accessories will bring your child’s vision to life. Colorful rugs and curtains will add interest and texture to their bedroom, while new bedding and lamps help bring in color and create ambiance. To tie the room together, add the final touches with some fun and unique kids' wall art to showcase your child's personality and style.
Involve Your Child to Create Memories That Will Last a Lifetime
Your child’s interests and imagination are sure to change along with them throughout the years — but creating an imaginative bedroom doesn't have to be a daunting task. By starting with functional furniture that can grow along with them, these staples will remain the same while the rest of their bedroom can evolve over time.
Meantime, designating one accent wall allows for unlimited creativity, while adding color and texture with rugs, lighting, and linens will bring interest and pull the theme together. Not to mention, finding some fun and unique kids' wall art pieces will complement the overall style of the room.
Your little ones will only be little for so long, so why not redesign their bedroom together — and use their input — as an opportunity to create memories that will last a lifetime?
