How to Design and Decorate a Kid’s Room

Kids’ bedrooms are their own refuge, should be fun and comfortable, and reflect their unique personalities. It’s the place they sleep, play, and imagine. It’s important that their bedroom fosters relaxation and creativity.

Whether you are re-designing their bedroom or starting from scratch, it’s important to make sure they are a part of the design process whenever possible.

You can start by asking them questions about what they envision their room to look like. Do a quick internet search and save a few images of bedroom ideas you’d think they like and share them with them.

As an interior designer, I tend to use Pinterest for projects like this, as it makes it easy to organize many images for inspiration in a short time. Try showing them images of well-designed kids’ rooms and the different kids’ bedding options.

Many children have a preference for color from an early age. They may be drawn to softer hues like pale pink or blue or prefer a more modern approach using bright and bold color choices.

Other children are drawn to specific themes, such as fairy ballerinas, butterfly gardens, dinosaurs, safari, and outer space. This can be easy to achieve as there is such a wide variety of theme bedding online.

Where to Start

Choosing the bedding is a very simple way to begin the design process. This provides an instant color palette to work from. For instance, if you choose a kid’s bedding pattern incorporating several colors into the design, you can pull these colors out from the fabric to use as inspiration for room paint color, window treatments, and bedroom decor.

If possible, draw out a basic floor plan to determine what furniture will fit and how it should be organized to provide adequate movement in the space.

The bed is generally the focal point of any bedroom, so it’s good to position it first with the bedding. Once this is established, it will make it easier to provide placement for the remaining furniture in the room. It also provides the opportunity to take note of any gaps that could be filled with new furniture or storage.

Once you’ve chosen a duvet cover, quilt, or comforter, the next step is to choose a set of bed sheets that complement. Sheets can be chosen in a solid print that pulls out the color in the bedding or provides contrast with mismatched colors and patterns. There’s a wide variety of children’s sheets to choose from – bright, eye-catching polka dots, their favorite animal, mermaids, butterflies, footballs, and dinosaurs.
Adding a bed skirt keeps the under-bed area hidden and adds instant style. As with sheets, there are many bed skirts available to choose from. Choose from bed skirts with ruffles or eyelet to modern pleated designs.

What is the Best Paint to Use in a Kid’s Room?

The best choice of paint to use in a child’s bedroom that provides wear-and-tear is one with a satin finish or eggshell.  Both are durable when cleaning and are stain-resistant.

Function & Safety

Another important consideration when planning your child’s room is balancing function, style, and safety. It’s important to analyze how the room will be used in the near future and how it can be adapted to their needs down the road.

Important questions to consider are whether or not the room will be used as a playroom or place to study. Will there be an additional child sharing the room at some point? Is there enough area to add a chair to read in?

Be sure to plan ahead for any tasks that will change and evolve as your child grows. If there is adequate space, consider zoning different areas for different tasks.

Kids Bedding & Bedroom Décor

Parents usually know a couple of other very important things about their children. They are changelings, and their enthusiasms run hot and cold, often at will. 

How to Make It Easier (on Yourself)

However, there are some time-tested strategies for easing the task of decorating a kid’s bedroom. As a professional interior designer with a great love for helping parents achieve great kids’ room decor, I have a few tips:

Keep in mind that you aren’t decorating for the long term. You wouldn’t want to because your little one is going to change in numerous ways before leaving “the nest.” Your goal should be to provide an adaptable “shell” that will please your child during all those stages and phases.

Your kid’s room is still a room in your home; therefore, it should be “in sync” with the rest of the house in major ways.

How do You Organize a Kid’s Bedroom?

Storage is often overlooked in the design of a kid’s bedroom. Areas should be designated for not only sleeping but reading, getting dressed, and playtime as well.

A combination of open and closed storage works best. Open storage, such as shelves and cubbies, can also provide the opportunity to add color to the room.

Keep activities in reach whenever possible. Shelving can be set at heights that provide easy access for the child to grab an object, such as a book or toy, as well as put it away when they’re done. Use high shelves for items designated for display.

Wall Art

Wall art adds instant personality to a kids’ room, whether it’s their own precious drawings or prints that coordinate with the room’s color palette.

Wall stickers can be a fun choice to break up wall space. Children also enjoy seeing their names in print; wall letters can add a fun and personalized twist to their bedroom.

As a parent myself, I have one more tip for anyone facing the pleas of a child who wants to redecorate in personal style: Join in! Embrace the opportunity to foster a bit of independence in your child, give in to the quirky likes and (sometimes) zany styles that your kid prefers, and demonstrate your adult abilities to compromise and to accommodate.

Add Plenty of Texture

As with any bedroom in the home, texture is important to provide warmth and interest. Layering blankets and quilts keeps the room cozy and inviting. Throw pillows and area rugs are another great way to add texture.

How do you design a small kid’s bedroom?

A small bedroom can be a bit of a challenge to decorate.  We’d all love our kids to have a bright and large space to sleep, work, and play.  Often, this is just not a possibility. On a good note – with a little bit of inspiration, it can be easy to turn a small child’s bedroom into a fun and organized space.

The focal point of a bedroom is the bed. Adding bunk beds is a great way to maximize a small bedroom space. Bunk beds are often available in various sizes. Traditional bunk beds are perfect if you have a room that’s being shared by two children.  To add interest, paint color can be added to the best to bring in a splash of color.

In smaller rooms, it’s essential to keep the color palette balanced and minimal to keep the room from looking overwhelmed.  This doesn’t mean the bedroom has to be boring. If the walls are white, you can add color to the bedding, window treatments, throw pillows, and a small area rug. Wallpaper limited to one wall is also a great way to add color and pattern to a kids’ small bedroom.

Another great idea for small bedrooms is to invest in multi-use furniture. Small desks can double as bedside tables, with a chair that can be used for homework, artwork, or a parent reading a bedtime story.  Furniture pieces need to be chosen wisely. Avoid pieces with sharp angles and edges to keep the space from feeling too boxed in. Fit essential pieces of furniture where you can.

Storage is very important in a small bedroom.  Before you start organizing, get rid of everything you don’t need. Stackable bins or tall open shelving utilize vertical spacing effectively.  It’s a good idea to keep toys off the floor in small spaces to give plenty of room for kids to move about the room.

Mirrors also work well in small spaces. Add one or more to a room to reflect light and open the space.

If you have children who are sharing a space, try personalizing the space around their beds with everything from their favorite colors to those things they find most interesting. Separate shelving allows for their own personal area to display important artwork, framed photos, and prints.

When dealing with small spaces it’s important to think big.  Just a few great ideas will help create a fun and functional room.  Small spaces can have big style.

How can I Make Toddler Room Fun?

There are many ways to make a toddler’s room fun for them. From purchasing a clubhouse-style bed to adding playhouse teepees, bright pops of color, and interesting artwork.  Theme rooms are also a great way to make a room more exciting for small children – and there are so many to choose from.

How do you Choose a Theme for a Kid’s Room?

The best way to choose a theme for a kid’s room is to take note of their interests (ballet, horseback riding, solar system, the ocean, etc.) and incorporate bedding and room decor that reflects those interests.  Another way is to let the colors they prefer be inspiration in choosing the best theme. Buyer Select has a curated selection of kids’ bedding and room decor organized by theme.  Here, you’ll find it easy to coordinate wall art, lamps, storage solutions, and kids’ room furniture all in one place. There are also articles at the bottom of each page on how to pull the look together.

A Final Note

Just as every child is special, I believe every child’s room can and should be unique. No matter whether the direction is traditional, contemporary, or cutting-edge, there are elements that each child’s room shares with every other.

Comfortable and age-appropriate furniture and kids’ bedding top the list.

Browse through a personally curated selection of kids’ bedding — from sheets to kids’ comforters, kids’ quilts and throws, from designs to capture the imagination of active toddlers or sophisticated teens, from bunk bed ensembles to “tote-away-to-college” trappings — bring you a wide range of options from the best names in the design world and the best companies in kids bedding.

A One-Stop Shop with Lots of Options

Explore possibilities, but remember it’s the overall look that’s important. Select a reversible duvet of durable fabric, and supplement the look with your child’s choice of accessories. Let the sheets express a penchant for “with-it” favorites — maybe robots or butterflies. Use zingy colors, wild patterns or specialty fabrics for accessory pillows and nap blankets. Speak with your child about how to build a look that is unique. If your pre-teen isn’t quite ready to abandon a stuffed animal collection, so be it. The time will come soon enough when sophistication beats out sentimentality.

All the companies represented here are leaders in style, service, and quality. You won’t be disappointed, whether you build a room one item at a time, or order kids bedding in a bag. It’s entirely your choice!
