Kids’ Bedroom Colours and Paint

Let’s start with the basics of a room: the walls, floor, and windows. The walls play a crucial role in setting the room’s tone and interior design. For children’s rooms, incorporating colours that match their personalities and stimulate their creativity is beneficial. Opting for subtle paint is practical, as it can easily be repainted white as they grow older. Another option is to use white walls with a feature wall of wallpaper to add character. While choosing paint can be intimidating, it is relatively inexpensive and easy to change as your child grows, so something worth considering.

Kids’ Room Flooring

Flooring is another important factor. If you choose carpet, go for darker colours as they help camouflage spills and stains from food, nail polish, or play-dough, the small accidents that often happen. Plush carpets might not be necessary for children’s bedrooms, so floorboards can be a good alternative. They can match the rest of the home for a seamless overall look and be softened with a durable rug. Sheer curtains add a layer of light protection and softness to the room. They blend seamlessly with the home’s decor, creating a sophisticated yet child-friendly environment without being too bold.

Choosing Your Kids’ Room Furniture

Now, let’s talk about the items that fill the space and make a bedroom functional. The bed is the most important piece for your child. It should be the right size to support their growth and be timeless in style, so you don’t need to replace it as they age. While a themed bed, like a car bed, may be your child’s dream, it’s not the most practical choice for parents. Instead, consider a bed in a neutral colour that suits any age and matches the design style of your home. This allows you to add colour and personality through bedding and decorations.

Bedside tables should also be neutral in terms of gender and age. They should ideally match future beds and offer practical storage. Though bedside tables may seem plain, they can be personalised with lamps and decor. Lamps don’t need to be expensive; they can be swapped out to add colour, theme, and texture to the entire room, providing soothing mood lighting for night time.

Eg. Shell Lamps are $65 each and available to purchase in our Furniture SHOP  Noosaville, Sunshine Coast.

Children’s Room Decoration

Lastly, let’s focus on the decorative pieces that give the bedroom its personality, allowing your kids to truly express themselves. As mentioned earlier, this can be achieved through bedding. You don’t need to stick to neutral tones; you can experiment with colours and layers. For example, if your daughter’s bedroom is nature-themed and she loves yellow, you can opt for yellow sheets, a floral duvet cover, yellow pillowcases, sage and white decorative cushions, and a white throw. Regardless of the bedding scheme, a simple bed and neutral bedside tables will always complement it, helping to express your child’s personality.

Another fun way to accessorise the room is with wall decor, which avoids cluttering surfaces. Decorative wall art, floating shelves, wall stickers, and hanging pieces can add character and shape the room. To manage the clutter that often accumulates in a child’s bedroom, consider creative storage solutions like a bench seat by the bed, decorative baskets, or even a buffet/console if space allows. These options help keep the room tidy while adding to its charm.

In conclusion, creating a kid’s bedroom can be achievable for anyone, even if you’re not an interior designer. You don’t need to opt for a completely neutral room or an overly stimulating rainbow-themed one. There is a balance between practicality, which saves money in the long run, and playfulness, which brings out your child’s personality, expression, and imagination.
