Kids Room Furniture

A kid’s room is the most important place to them for a number of years. As soon as they are old enough to walk and talk, as well as work out what is theirs and what belongs to the rest of the family, they will start to get proprietary about their own belongings, including their room and everything about it. Although your home belongs to all of you, parents have their own special places and technically own everything in the house, so kids start to feel the need to have their own space and things as well. They want somewhere to keep their secrets and play with their toys and, most importantly, somewhere that feels like theirs. For this reason, you should always bring your child in when picking out their room, and designing it in a way they will be comfortable with.

If you don’t have much space you will need to be clever about how the room is set up to make sure everything fits in and that your child has plenty of space for themselves. If you have more than one child sharing a room they will still want their own space and this should be taken into account. Don’t just go for bunk beds to save space, as then technically your children are still sharing one bed and one space. Think more creatively and perhaps set up two high sleeper beds on opposite walls, with each child’s own space directly underneath. This means each child has their own space completely, on their side of the room and with floor space in between which can be shared. Underneath a high sleeper you could put wardrobes and chests of drawers, but what might be nice is to put a desk with storage baskets underneath for toys and books. They can each have their own chair and easy access to everything that is ‘theirs’. You could even place a curtain along the underside of the actual bed so they can shut off and have their own space completely for doing homework or even just being alone.

If your child has a room of their own then you can afford to be a bit more relaxed about space and let them choose out their own furniture. Kids room furniture often comes in ranges which appeal to kids and adults alike, and really pull the room together. Why not pick out a themed bed, such as a racecar, princess bed, or a pirate ship, and then fit all the other furniture around it? You could even get creative with the furniture so that, for example, if they have a pirate ship bed they could also have chests in which to store their books and toys, and curtains held together by ropes. Let your imaginations go wild and make sure your child has a real say in everything to do with how their room is laid out, after all it is their own space.
