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.
