Designing a child’s room today is challenging because it needs to be multi-functional. There should be zones for sleeping, playing, and studying—especially when you live in a home that has limited space. Coupled with home learning, it is crucial to ensure your child lives in a space where they do not feel trapped, restless and without creative stimulation.
To do that, we suggest incorporating smart and current interiors into their room. Good design planning incorporates space for play, study, and sleep. Then, you have to select a style that comprises various furniture pieces, materials, colours and decor so they complement each other, so it will not give you a headache every time you enter their room.
If you feel overwhelmed by this suggestion, do not worry. Here is a list of ideas you can use to decorate your child’s room, based on decor trends in 2022.
Go Neutral With Bright Accents
Most children love bright colours, but that does not mean their room has to look like their nursery or kindergarten classroom. Opt for neutral colours when it comes to walls, doors and cabinets. The core focus is to create a calm atmosphere. Then, add bold elements to make it more playful for your child.
Therefore, consider neutral shades like beige, milk, grey, pale green, peach for the backdrop. Once that is done, you can slowly bring bold colours into the picture. Consider getting colourful photo frames, curtains and rugs. You can also frame your children’s art and craft on the wall. The rule of thumb is to have up to three bold colours in one setting because making a room too colourful can tire eyes quickly—yes, even for your children.
Edutainment Wall Art
We established earlier that children love big and colourful things, as it sets their imaginations soaring. When you think big and colourful, the adjective bulky automatically comes to mind. Then consider wall art, also known as murals, for your children’s room. They are predicted to be in trend this year.
With murals, there is no need to clutter their space. All you have to do is choose a single wall for the mural. You can choose to paint freehand (if you have the talent) or with the support of a couple of stencils. Some examples of the themes you can incorporate include jungle, space, sea, or dinosaur motives.
If your children are old enough to choose, let them decide the theme and include them in the activity.
Alternatively, you can have a feature wall painted with chalk paint where your child (and you) can exude their creativity and draw on the wall. The best thing is, they can wipe it off if they don’t like it.
However, if you think painting is messy, then wall stickers are a viable option too.
Geometrical Storage
Geometrical forms are still very much raved in children’s bedroom designs. Despite their uniformity, geometric lines create attractive accents and provide dynamics to a room. However, choosing the type of figures can be a hard decision as their different appearance create different visual outcomes.
There are two main types of geometrical decor; rectilinear and curvilinear. Squares, rectangles, triangles and the like are rectilinear. Circles and ovals are curvilinear. Select wall decor, in textile, furniture that features these shapes.
Now, introducing these shapes go beyond looking pretty. Geometry is easy to identify and categorise. Hence, they also act as valuable learning resources that are within their reach. Children start making connections between objects and shapes even as toddlers.
Play Area
Why do kids need a play or creative area? Having a designated play and creative area where they can really go all out with their fun is beneficial for them.
If you don’t already have one, maybe it is time to look around for an area in the home for them to play and create. When defining a space, we often think about using furniture, shelves or screens. We typically focus on the vertical plane by looking for height to break up the space at eye level and help create zones. Rather than opting for a room divider, switching the mindset to consider the horizontal plane can be an effective way to define your space. Think mats, rugs or play teepees.
