A definitive guide to decorating your child’s room, plus top furniture picks you can shop from us to make your child’s room a versatile, creative space.

Doing up your child’s room is no child’s play. Your kid’s room is a space to play, study, rest, sleep, and engage in activities he or she is fond of. Designing it, therefore, must be an extension of your child’s personality. For your child to grow up in an interactive and imaginative space, the right elements play a very important role. There are several things to keep in mind before you begin the process of decoration: if it’s a dedicated room for your child, creating an engaging space suitable for all activities is crucial. Make optimum use of the available space with maximum storage — closets, drawers and shelves - so that toys and games can be stowed away after the day’s play and books that inspire and educate can be stored neatly.



Safety is a very important criterion too — child-friendly designs are not only a must in the bedroom or in the kid’s nook that you’ve specially created but also around the house. So when you choose furniture, opt for pieces that will not come in the way of your child’s movement. Furniture should be free of sharp edges to prevent injury while your kid runs around the house.



If you have a single child, the space will be very different from what you would have to do for a room shared between two children. Children find it difficult to share things; in such a scenario, create personal spaces within the shared room by identifying what each of your kids want for their individual areas and demarcate these zones to avoid conflict. This will not only help in nurturing each of their personalities but also inculcate a sense of responsibility in them.



Furniture, colours, and accessories, all of which are part of the decor, play an important role in your child’s educational growth. Here are a few inspirational furniture pieces you can find online that could be a part of the creative space you build for your child.
