How to Decorate a Small Bedroom for Your Kids?

Decorate a Small Kid's Bedroom

Your kid’s space, especially a small bedroom, needs more creative ideas to make it look neat, stylish, and brighter so that your kid can enjoy their room.

Remember! When we were kids, our rooms were not like the rooms of today’s kids. With new advancements in the interior design industry, décor has become more and more creative, undeniably stylish, and customized. All the parents want to decorate the room of their little angels more beautifully than the rest of the home.

I know it could be very daunting and tricky to decorate a particularly small bedroom. Therefore, you must search for different ideas, and most of them might be very costly or time-consuming. But here, in this article, I am going to guide you to decorate your kid’s small bedroom to change it into a cleaner, brighter, charming, and more modern room.

So, let’s get started.

Maximum Utilization of Space

Space shouldn’t be an issue to create the perfect room where your kids can rest, play, and do their homework efficiently. An uncluttered and well-organized room is the most critical step to make your kid’s room comfortable and relaxing.

Small rooms definitely need smart storage, so that there is enough free space for other things. The first place you should optimize for storage is under the bed.

Efficient Furniture Ideas

Let’s start with the basics like a bed, desk, dresser, and storage.

If it is a shared room, then a bunk bed can be a wise choice. Otherwise, a single wooden bed will work.

A half-drawer would be perfect for a small room. You can also attach a foldable study table to it, and that would be quite space-efficient. It could be attached to the cupboard, and whenever your kid needs to do his homework, he can open it. You can also attach small drawers for the stationary.

Such efficient furniture ideas can be quite useful for a small bedroom.

Colors on the Walls

You may know that a light color makes a small place look bigger and brighter. On the other hand, dark shades can make rooms look cramped and small.

So choose a light base color to paint the walls. Then to add a fun factor, you could add a wall decal of your kid’s favorite character or anything with some colorful shades. It will make the room spacious and vibrant at the same time.

Wall stickers are definitely a great way to add more life to white walls.

Other Accessories

Colorful bedding, curtains, blinds, and rugs with beautiful texture can add a nice touch of color to the white-painted room.

Add some subtle luminosity by placing a lamp in the room. You can go for Himalayan salt lamps as these are all-natural and very pretty. They are available in different shapes and sizes so you can choose whatever design you like. These are also environment-friendly and act as night light lamps as well. They will make the room cozy and soothing with their glow.

Floor cushions of different texture and colors and beanbag can be placed on the floor for sitting and playing.

Door Utilization

Use the door for storage purpose or as a chalkboard. Add small storage on the inner side of the door to place kids’ stuff.

You can also use it as a cupboard and save more space in the room. Or turn it into a chalkboard as mentioned below.

Play Area/Corner

Even in a small room, you can create a separate play area for your kid’s activities.

A teepee in a corner will add a creative touch to the decor, plus it can be used as a play area and a reading corner. Your kid can place his toys and other stuff in there. You can quickly move it anytime to free the space or for cleaning.

World Map Hunt

Decorate one of the walls with the colorful world map for two reasons. It will look aesthetically beautiful, and it can be helpful for interactive learning. Kids can learn while playing about the geography of the world.

Chalk Board

You can change one of the cupboard doors into a chalkboard or simply paint any of the walls with chalkboard paint and use it for your kids to play and learn. Kids can draw everything new every day and use their creativity in a fun way.

Memory Wall

Memory Wall

Turn a part of the wall into a memory wall by putting pictures of your kids with friends and family and let them cherish beautiful moments in a creative way. Also, you can hang fairy lights around the borders of the memory wall and make the memories shine.

Fairy Lights

Convert the room into a happy, bright place with the very old but always trending fairy lights. You can use them in several ways to decorate the room. Hang them around the teepee or window. Put them in jars or place them anywhere in the room. These are great to add a festive touch to the bedroom.

Add Some Greenery

Give some freshness to the whole décor by placing indoor plants. You can choose from a wide variety of indoor plants according to your taste and place them near a window or any shelf. You can also place floral plants to add color and fragrance.

Many plants clean the air of airborne particles and bacteria, so picking them for your kid’s room could be a smart choice.

Conclusion

I hope that you will get inspiration from all these ideas mentioned above and tips to turn the small world of your kid into a big creative piece of art and love. 

So get up and decorate the room of your little angels and give them a cozy living place of their own.
