Children's bedroom inspiration

Children can have strong opinions, so it’s a good idea to consult them before making any changes to their bedroom. You might assume they’d like a football or princess-themed room, only to discover they want something more grown-up. A bedroom in a new build home offers a chance for them to start from scratch and create the room of their dreams.

Kids’ minds often wander from outer space, dinosaurs and cars to magic, dolls and superheroes. So, why not let their passion be the theme of their bedroom? If you’re worried that they might move onto something new, you can buy wall stickers instead of wallpaper. These can be removed without damaging paintwork.

As your children get older, their tastes will change, meaning a blank canvas may be the best way to go. Posters are perfect because they can be removed when their interests shift. 

Your children’s bedroom décor should inspire them, and there are plenty of ways to capture your little one's imagination. You can buy wallpaper murals to create a feature wall with a view of a football stadium or cover the ceiling with a cosmic galaxy. If they have a creative mind, consider designing spaces for them to play with Lego. You can also add baseboards to walls to help them make their masterpieces.

Create space for their upcoming achievements. If your child is a sports enthusiast, you could frame their kit memorabilia so they can look back at their accomplishments. Hang a cork or magnetic board in their room to display certificates or photographs.

A child’s bedroom is their haven – a place to rest, play, and express themselves. Storage space is essential, so consider adding a low cabin bed with places to keep their toys or a high sleeper to create a comfy nook to relax in. There are some fantastic cabin beds available that resemble everything from tree houses to London buses.

The way your child uses their room may change. It might serve as their playroom when they’re little and turn into a space for practising their hobbies and doing homework. Sleepovers with friends may also be on the cards as they grow up, so keep sleeping bags at hand. 

Lighting is another element you shouldn’t overlook. Spotlights and desk lamps can create focal points, themed lighting can inspire their minds, and softer ambient lights can help your children relax before bed.
