/ Photo by Sean LitchfieldWhat’s the easiest way to make a kid’s room less childish?
The easiest way to make a kid’s room less childish is to think outside of cliched color palettes and gender norms. Kids appreciate beauty as well as any adult, so don’t feel you have to fill the room with cutesy furniture and decor that they will soon outgrow. Design your child’s room for the person they will become, with quality furnishings, natural materials, and a functional layout that addresses their current needs and can be easily and inexpensively adapted as they grow. And if you have room in the budget, don’t hesitate to choose signature pieces that will become touchstones of their childhoods, from a vintage chandelier or pendant light to a designer armchair or midcentury modern dresser that can evolve from a changing table to a place to store their clothes and belongings as they grow.
What are the best ways to decorate a kid’s room?
Kids’ bedrooms should be comfortable, organized, safe, and clean. Be sure that your kid’s room is equipped with a quiet place to sleep, enough room to play, a place to read or do homework, and storage for their clothes, toys, books, and other belongings. Avoid overly gender specific decor schemes and favor gender-neutral furnishings, art, and decor. You can absolutely paint the walls of a child’s room in classic pinks and blues, but shoot for a tonal decor look that incorporates different shades rather than sticking to pastels. Introduce whimsical, playful elements through toys, art, and textiles that can be swapped out as they grow and change.

Can a small children’s room be cozy and beautiful? Yes! Take note of ideas: 25 options for a nursery for different situations
Even for a newborn, the “dowry” takes up more space than the parent’s things. What can we say about a baby who has already entered the age of exploring the world by touch – space is needed not only for a crib and diapers, but also for games, numerous toys, and a work area. Therefore, the main thing when creating the interior of a small nursery is the competent organization of the space, which should become both comfortable and cozy.
We create the “space” of the children’s room correctly: for you – the best ideas for designing a nursery and important tips.
One of the most common ways to visually change the size of a room is to use horizontal or vertical stripes in the interior. Stripes not only visually elongate the room, but also enliven, add dynamics and individuality to the interior.
While the child is small, you can not clutter up the space with large beds – a nice cradle is enough. But remember that babies grow fast. Start planning a new interior before the child starts to get out of the crib on his own.
Don’t feel sorry for the white color – it is able to push the boundaries and increase the space. Of course, white color, alas, will not add to you square meters, but lightness and a feeling of spaciousness in the room are easy.
This interior is suitable for a teenager or even two children (a pull-out bed is a way to save useful meters). Even the closet, compact, stylish and clearly roomy, fits perfectly into the interior.
Everything that can be transferred for storage to another room, we transfer. We do not clutter up the nursery with things.
This furniture complex allows you to save space and decorate the interior. It is recommended to immediately choose transforming furniture: children grow up quickly. Note that light flooring also adds freedom and lightness to the interior.
Children’s multifunctional “island” – an individual non-standard solution for the bedroom. Among the advantages are saving meters and convenient access to built-in lockers, a changing table, a crib and even lower drawers.
Even in such a tiny room, it was possible to create a cozy and stylish room for a child. Classic tools: white, open shelves, organization of space under the bed.
A very fashionable and incredibly delicate version of a bedroom for two kids. Dark shades are exclusively for interior accents.
Ideal storage solution. Any girl will be delighted with such a pink bedroom, and the lion’s share of things and toys can be placed in the drawers.
Do you have two children? Don’t know how to make a beautiful nursery for two? Take note of the option. No bulky cabinets: airy interior, open shelves, color accents.
Don’t forget the walls. Beautiful posters and wallpapers are great, but if you don’t have a lot of square meters, use the space rationally – and tastefully, of course.
Bright and practical option for a nursery: a podium bed (under it you can hide drawers), a work area and even sports items.
Even in a tiny room, there was an opportunity to combine work and relaxation areas. In situations where there is not enough space just catastrophically, balcony beds, drawers and custom-made furniture always come to the rescue.
Another lovely pink bedroom for the little doll and teddy bear collector.
Editor’s note:
— Don’t be afraid to raise children’s beds, even if the interior of the room is created for one child. There are many beautiful, stylish and child-safe options for high-altitude beds.
Leave space on the floor for games and creativity. It is hard for any child (and any adult) to constantly be in a room where every wave of the arms threatens with new bruises. Use every opportunity to optimize space. Hide drawers under the bed, use light open hanging shelves, balcony beds, podiums, transformers and other elements that allow you to keep room for movement, creativity and imagination.
How do you like this option? The perfect bed-house, under which you can hide boxes with toys or baby clothes.
Are you looking for a nursery for two boys? Don’t miss a great idea: a stylish blue bedroom for growing boys. Note: neat baskets for toys are always more pleasing to the eye than boxes and plastic boxes.
Again, clever use of space under the bed saves a small bedroom from clutter. Do not forget about the walls: narrow white shelves along the entire wall will fit perfectly even in a beige interior.
Today it is fashionable to buy apartments in townhouses.
Traditionally, children are given the upper attic rooms as bedrooms. Can such a nursery for a boy be cozy? Definitely!
Not sure what to do with a niche in the room? Add creativity to the working area of the nursery – your child will definitely appreciate it.
Even such a non-standard niche found a better and more practical use than the classic pantry “for winter things”.
If you really want to use a bright accent in the form of wallpaper, apply it in fragments. Do not overload the room with too bright walls or wallpaper, from which the child will ripple in the eyes.
If your children have to share a room for two, make sure that they are comfortable in it. Personal space for everyone is your main guideline.
Bright, cozy and spacious. This room is not distinguished by an abundance of square meters, and yet even a flower wigwam fit in here. The secret of the right interior is in the color scheme, in the lightness of materials, shades and the structures themselves.
