Planning to Redecorate Your Child’s Bedroom?


In this article, we will look at ways you can redecorate a room to create the perfect bedroom for your child. Let’s first consider what furniture you might include in a child’s bedroom. If you’ve two children or more, you should consider installing a bunk bed as this is not only an optimal way to save on space but many kids find it an enjoyable and fun feature.  You might also like to purchase new bed covers for your child like those of their favourite movie, TV show or video game. The same can also apply to pillow cases. Another way to save on space with a bed such as if you have one child is by purchasing one with built-in storage!  Beyond that, a new chest of drawers or wardrobes could also help with acquiring the necessary storage.  

You’ll also need to consider the colours and design you’d like for the room. You could repaint the room or alternatively, apply some new layers of wallpaper. Generally, the best choices of colour for a child’s bedroom are lighter ones such as aqua, pale green, beige, seal blue or lavender. You should make sure to look into the costs of wallpapering rooms and that of painting a room before diving right into it. Of course, the same is true of any of the possible expenses described in our guide. As with the bed covers and pillow cases, you might want to reflect your child’s interests by adding some stickers to the wall. This can be a nice touch. However, to bring out the colours of the walls as much as possible, good lighting is essential. The main type of lighting is general such as ceiling-mounted lights and LED downlights. Then there is task lighting such as lamps and pendant lights and accent lighting such as wall sconces. 

Next, let’s consider flooring. Arguably, a carpet is the most sensible flooring option for a child’s bedroom, primarily due to its soft underfoot. Laminate and timber flooring are also popular choices for bedrooms in general. It may also interest you to install some smart lights in the room and specifically those for which you can adjust their colour and brightness. In many cases, you can set their features to alter at specific times. For instance, this could make it easier for your children to go to bed in the evening
