Decorating your child’s room can prove to be more complicated than you originally expected. Not only do you have to consider your budget, and the quality and safety of the toys and decorations you buy, but the task at hand also raises a few questions: is it outdated to paint a girl’s room pink, and a boy’s room blue? What if your little princess is set on a Barbie-themed bedroom? Which actually brings us to another consideration – is it wrong to want the bedroom to fit in with the rest of the décor in your home, and look, well, nice?

Of course, your child’s room is their own little world where they can play, learn, and let their creativity run wild, and this is always at the forefront of one’s mind when designing their bedroom. We want them to have some input, to make their minds up about what they like, and encourage them to explore their identities from an early age, but we also can’t help but want some input too! Considering all this, it often helps to do a little research, and to draw some inspiration from finished examples…

Keeping it neutral

A neutral colour scheme is a great choice if you want to avoid designs aimed specifically at boys or girls. It also looks clean and fresh, even if the room is packed with toys. When colour is added in the form of soft furnishings and play mats, it doesn’t look crowded, and there are no garish clashing tones to worry about. Modern furniture designs for children’s rooms are now largely environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and made from traditional materials. It seems we’re taking things back to basics with more simplistic and traditional designs, which look great in neutral toned bedrooms and playrooms.

A pink bedroom isn’t for everyone. Some people don’t like to encourage girlie designs. If, however, your child reaches a certain age and insists up on it, there are ways to make sure the colour is not overwhelming. Make sure you use other colours to act as a neutraliser. White furniture is a perfect accompaniment to a pink colour scheme, having a cooling effect on brighter tones. As opposed to painting the room pink, you can also use pink patterns.

Red, white and blue

Red and blue are popular colours for decorating a child’s bedroom, and this isn’t about to change. With chequered prints and stripes evocative of summer-time picnics and traditional nautical theme, this design has a fun and whimsical feel without compromising on grown-up friendly style. Again, white is used as a neutraliser to balance out the bold shades of red, which contributes to the overall smart and elegant look. As you have probably noticed in the previous examples, natural light plays a big part in the design of a child’s room. Proven to have a positive impact on mood and well-being, it makes sense to utilise this as much as possible. This means blinds or shutters, rather than heavy curtains, are always the best option.
