With this review by the basics of a children's room, full of key tips to decorate a perfect bedroom and with proposals to create different environments, it will be very simple to carry out this project.
Get a personalized space to the maximum where your child can read, play, dream and sleep at ease, full of little corners where your child will be very happy. Now we tell you how to do it, what steps to follow, what furniture is the most suitable, where to arrange them and what accessories are used for everything.
1. Choose a look or thematic
First choose the theme or style with which you will decorate the bedroom thinking about what your child is most passionate about, some television, film or literature character or opt for a style in which your favorite color palette and prints predominate.
Choose a style or theme It will help you define colors, furniture and objects you buy The decorative trends of the moment are many and very different from each other, we have from a look more classic and sweet as the Shabby Chic style or the Bohemian Chic with a more eclectic and dark air although very romantic, to a more casual and modern style as is the industrial one.
For design lovers you can opt for a Nordic style with a bright and white palette or for the fashionable look graphic with its characteristic black and white geometric prints, although without a doubt the trend of the moment is the neo-rustic or natural style, a hybrid between the rustic and the Nordic style. Although if you are looking for something more original, you can always opt for an eclectic style, more personal and alien to the trends of the moment.
2. Define a color palette
Once the style is chosen, it is time to specify a color palette, the thread between all the elements of the bedroom, which will give coherence between different environments, creating a homogeneous and harmonious space.
Though Each style has its own palettes, you can make as many variations as you want. For example, do you like graphic style a lot but its black and white palette does not convince you? Replace the black with a light gray that will soften the environment. Also to make the bedroom more cheerful you add a third bright color, such as pink or yellow, to add touches of color to the space.
On the other hand, if you opt for the Boho Chic style, we will darken a color palette based on romantic and magical, pink, gray, turquoise, mustard and emerald tones in a somewhat muted hue but no less sweet and childish. Is a very suitable palette for children to relax and give free rein to their imagination, a good example of this is the image that illustrates this section.
3. Distribute the environments
We must think about our son's bedroom as if it were a mini apartment, an intimate, own and versatile space where you can do everything there, from having fun, to sitting down to study or reading and of course, sleeping. For this we will have to create mini spaces, to the extent of our possibilities, inside the room in order to be the maximum functional and pleasant for the child.
Defining what environments you will create and how you will distribute them will help us to offer a space more adjusted to the needs of your little one. There are three basic environments, such as the sleeping area with the bed, the study area with a desk and the storage area with closets or donkeys for clothes.
But then we can add other small areas that will give that special touch to the environment, different and small corners where your child can play, read and dream, such as the reading corner, the area of lying down and imagining, an area of crafts.
You do not need large spaces for every corner, it is a matter of using the meters that you have at your fingertips, for example the craft and drawing area can be a wall where you hang a roll of paper, where children paint and stick adhesives and glitter . And for the dream zone with cushions, stuffed animals and a carpet placed in a corner there is already more than enough.
Once the distribution is defined, we can choose the most appropriate furniture and decorative accessories for each corner depending on the area where they will go, the decorative style and the colors we have chosen.
4. A magical place to sleep
We start with the primordial, the bed. We will decide for a design that suits the look and colors of the chosen theme. But do not think that with a bed you have finished the sleeping area, we will 'customize it' to the maximum so that your child dies of wanting to go to sleep or read a book lying comfortably.
We can add some muslin curtains as a mosquito net, or a canopy to make you feel more protected at night. And on the wall we can add vinyl with which to relax while sleeping, with a small lamp or garland to follow, to help you overcome night fears.
We will finish the space by adding a suitable lingerie to the chosen style, with lots of cushions with shapes and stuffed animals. Another fun option is to decorate the ceilings: paint them color, put a mural, wall paper or vinyl. When night comes, play with a dim spotlight that illuminates the ceiling to create an imaginative environment, a story world.
5. A suitable study environment
Although if we ask children it will not seem like a very necessary area, it is vital to create a suitable space for study, in which to concentrate, without any distraction. This does not mean that we cannot do it to the taste of our little one so that she feels comfortable and satisfied.
The best thing is a table or desk placed in front of the wall, where you have everything you need to study by hand: pen, books and notebook ... that there are no excuses to get up and get distracted by other things that you want more. If you can find an area that is separated or separated with a screen of the fun area, or simply place it so that it turns its back.
6. A corner to dream and make croquettes
It is also the age to develop another part of your imagination, building secret spaces where to hide and invent great stories, better than the ones they read in their stories. That is why it is important to create your own plot, in which you cannot enter ... unless I leave you!
Is about an area to create, think, dream, look at shrews and waste time. To get this space we only need a horse, with a mosquito net, a carpet for the floor and many cushions. You can also decorate the wall with sheets, paper garlands or lanterns to give your personal touch. Another option is to make a teepee with sheets or buy it made.
On one of the corner walls you can install a small library with 8 or 9 books in sight, just as they put the magazines in a kiosk. Reading is a very simple way to motivate the imagination of children, so having an area to read is a basic for them.
7. Own closet
Although they are small, children have the same needs as an adult and more now, who are so aware of fashion and trends. One option is leave your clothes hanging on a donkey or tree branch, if you keep it tidy it will beautify the space and your child can easily choose what to wear.
But if you prefer a closet, then adapt it, customize it, draw, paint or 'washitapea' a little on it. You can even line your interior with wallpaper or vinyl. And why not paint your exterior with Chalk Paint? So you can turn it into a big board and integrate it into the playground.
8. An original playground
The playground does not have to be a giant space full of toys, it is not necessary to constantly consume everything that goes on the market. Children with little are already happy, and also having few resources prompts you to imagine.
The most important thing is that they have the space to do it, a site of its own, where it doesn't matter that they mess. You can create a racing circuit on the floor with duct tape or a doll house on the wall with Washi Tape like the one we see in the picture.
It is convenient for the child to have his own space, an area you are proud of, which you want to share with friends. If you have a large room you will have no problem: you can place a large table where you can do all your activities and to which you will get a lot out of it.
However, if your area is rather small, you will have to use the imagination to create a multifunctional and versatile environment. You will have to make several corners one, and that the space of dreaming, reading and play is the same, and that at the same time it is a great area that you want to share with your friends.
For limited spaces using different heights will help you gain space, put a bunk that is both a reading area and under it you put the play area or study. It uses the walls, ceiling and floors to create the play areas, and the corners to realize the reading or dreaming area. Use furniture that can be folded, hung and stored, since with them you will gain space.
9. Customize the space with details
Once you have defined the look, colors and distribution and you have chosen the furniture for each area, it is time to add your personal touch. To do this, turn to your own child, go shopping with him to choose these little accessories. You can also ask for some drawings, frame them and hang them on the wall.
Finish the space with accessories that make your little one happy, like giant colored balloons with big tails, paper lanterns, sheets, dolls, garlands, stickers for the ceiling, with all this you will give an original touch to the bedroom. This part choose it with your child, are the details that you will enjoy and feel comfortable in your bedroom.
Flood the space with ragdolls or cushions in a thousand ways or patterns that will help personalize the room and make the child feel more accompanied. Throw imaginative photos to your children, and print them on a giant vinyl for the wall. Place some vintage or antique furniture, a memory of the family and recovered objects to make a more original and unique space.
And with these beautiful details we finish the post, remember that all children are passionate about corners, they love being on the floor or being hidden, covered, they always want to be in tight spaces, feel covered, under a table or sheets In addition, he feels passion for wallowing on the floor, rolling, enchanting, scribbling on the walls, so it is best to take advantage of his passions to create these super imaginative and personal atmospheres.
