Creating a Fun & Functional Kid's Bedroom

Creating a Fun & Functional Kid's Bedroom
Many parents want to create bedrooms that are cozy and fun for their children, but aren't willing
to compromise when it comes to organization or price. The good news is that there are many
easy ways to create a space that both you and your children will love, all at a price you can
afford.
Choosing Furniture
When it comes to kids' bedroom furniture, it's not impossible to find furnishings that are well
made and affordable, and yet still appeal to children. Plus, you can find twin or full size beds for
kids that offer storage underneath or even additional sleeping space.
Maximize the space in a small bedroom with a bunk bed, whether it's a model with two beds or
one with a bed above and space for a desk, below.
If you're looking to get the most bang for your buck and don't want to have to buy new furniture
to suit your child's changing needs, avoid age-specific furniture and opt for timeless, quality
pieces. One way you will benefit from buying twin beds for kids, however, is that many go off to
post-secondary schools and live in dormitories where there's only space for small beds.
For older children, you may also want to consider adding a quiet space for them to do their home
work. A quality desk will take your child through the years, from a place to colour when they're
small to a spot for studying in college or university.
Carve Out Functional Spaces
Because most kids' rooms are multi-purpose, it's a great idea to carve out areas for sleeping,
playing or studying. A cozy reading nook with bookshelves and a comfortable chair, a desk, or
toy chest and cubbies are great ways to ramp up the functional side of your child's bedroom. Use
different paint colours, fun curtains or even room dividers to designate the different areas.
Decorating Your Child's Room
The sky is the limit when it comes to decorating your child's room. From bright paint colours and
whimsical fabric patterns to fun artwork, there are lots of creative ways for you to create a space
that's kid-friendly. Frame your child's artwork or childhood photos to create a collage, or paint a
section of the wall with chalkboard paint to let your child explore their creativity.
