optimally design and furnish small children’s rooms

Parents are often faced with the problem that there is little space available for the children’s room. The room situation in the apartment or house is then no longer much. The children’s room is then small or 2 children live in a children’s room.

By the way, for the latter we have published 2 own articles here in the magazine.

In the article 2 children one room is about creating 2 beds in one room and in the post Children’s room for 2 children it is about basic planning when two children share a room.

In this magazine article, we will address the question of how you can optimally furnish small children’s rooms.

Make optimal use of space

Basically, it is important to use the available space optimally and imaginatively. What sounds like a phrase at first glance, has a lot of potential at second glance. Because there are more options in every room than you think. Because this is the case, we have dedicated our own contribution to this point.

Under Storage space in the children’s room we give you valuable tips on how to create a lot of space in the children’s room.

A loft bed for children creates space

If you buy a loft bed for your child, move your sleeping to the second level. This creates space that you can use in a variety of ways. Either you create storage space, or an additional space to play or cuddle. Some manufacturers offer ready-made solutions that integrate a desk under the loft bed. With the bed you double the floor space in one fell swoop. With this solution, however, it should be noted that loft beds can only be used from a certain age.

For those who are thinking of buying a loft bed but are not yet sure, we recommend ours Loft bed guide .

include other rooms

Sometimes new opportunities open up if you literally take a step back and look at it from the outside. Perhaps there are possibilities to store certain furniture outside the room. Maybe you can put a closet or shelf in a hallway? There is no reason not to place toys or other items outside the room. A wardrobe can also be outsourced under certain circumstances. Especially when there are two children.

Even things that are not used every day can be stowed in a practical way.

Dosing the wall design correctly

A rather reserved wall design is recommended for small rooms. This refers to the number of colors as well as the patterns or motifs.
If you want to design a themed room, then designing a wall is an original idea. Wallpaper only one surface with the motif or pattern wallpaper and the chosen motif will spread throughout the room.
The same applies to the color design. With just one colored wall, you can set beautiful accents that include the entire room.

the right choice of color

Basically, lighter and more reserved colors are recommended for small rooms. Bright colors always appear bigger at first.

the right children’s furniture

With the choice of children’s furniture you can also mitigate any space problems. So it is advisable to use the corners of the room, which are mostly neglected. Beautiful corner shelves look individual and create storage space. You also make optimal use of the space.
You can also think about multifunctional furniture that gives you several options. Loft beds with integrated desks are examples. Or children’s beds with drawers. Even cupboards with open Compartments unite wardrobe and shelf.

Then there is the topic of system furniture. These are furniture concepts that adopt the modular building block principle. Different pieces of furniture are combined. Or different modules are offered with which you can make optimal use of the space.

Another option is folding furniture. For example, there are now changing tables that can be attached to the wall and simply folded up after use.

The color of the furniture also plays an important role. White furniture appears lighter and more transparent. They also take up less space optically and make the entire room appear larger.

Use children’s furniture twice

There is a range of furniture that can be used in different ways. In the first place, of course, are the table and bed.

A children’s desk can also be used as a place to play, tinker and read. Some manufacturers offer tables that optimally combine the two functions and also in terms of design.

With the help of a bedspread, you can turn every cot into a comfortable seat during the day. Bunk beds in particular become a pretty sofa.

There are shelves in which a desk pad is integrated. The shelf becomes a workplace and vice versa.

Use lamps specifically

Basically, light ensures size. Bright rooms appear larger than dark ones. But the impression of size is also achieved by several (small) light sources. Fairy lights, clamp lamps, table lamps and decorative lamps can be used in different places and suggest spaciousness.

mirror surfaces

An old trick to make rooms appear larger is mirrored surfaces or large mirrors. However, these are less recommendable in the children’s room due to their fragility. Alternatively, (several) small mirrors can be placed. They are decorative and have a similar effect.

low rooms

Often it is not the area alone. And / or low walls are often a challenge too. But there are also options here. We have published our own article in the magazine. Under Wall design for low rooms we give you some tips.

You see – there are also a number of tricks for small children’s rooms that make the room appear more spacious. Have fun setting up!
