Building a indoor sanctuary, and fitting it to your child’s needs and wants is the ideal scenario.
So. whether you have a child that’s into princesses or a dinosaur fiend, these kids’ decorating ideas for bedrooms, play areas and more will help you create fun and imaginative spaces for active and passive play.
01
The perfect little book nook
Create a library of your own
Books and reading are an essential part of childhood. While they may start out with picture books like ‘The Gruffalo’ and ‘Possum Magic’, but will eventually move on to ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’.
This beautiful book nook is perfect for reading development as it will fit larger hardcover books to small novels with ease. And it’s great for sitting on and passing the time with a book!
02
An inspiring artwork
Add a little sunshine to the bedroom
A sun painting is a great way to add a bit of fun to your child’s bedroom. While many kids’ decorating ideas fall into specific interests, this sun painting captures the playful, sunny aesthetic every kid’s space dreams to have.
And the best part is, you can make it yourself! Take a look at our step-by-step guide to create your own artwork.
03
The teepee of your kid’s dreams
A hidden sanctuary
A teepee creates a sense of calm and cosiness in your kid’s area. Whether it’s a rumpus room, bedroom or even in your family living room, giving your child their own space to relax and wind down is always a great idea.
This teepee can easily be made with wooden dowels and fabric for a quick DIY over the weekend. Add in comfy cushions, and their favourite plush toy, and you’ve got a space that they’ll never want to leave!
04
Themed storage
Suited to any kid’s interests
Creating storage in a kid’s room can be tricky. With such a multitude of toys and games, shelves and cupboards can quickly fill up. These cute storage cubbies can be tailored toward any interest or hobby that your child would love to display.
In this case, it’s all about the cars. The shorter and shallower shelving is perfect for positioning mini cars and trucks, while the hinged door keeps it all neat and tidy for when it’s time to put away the toys.
05
Removable frames for kid’s art
Your very own art gallery
The mountains of art that your child creates often go to waste, or overflows on the front of the fridge! Instead, use these removable frames, and keep your kid’s art on rotation.
This proud display will show how much their art means to you, and can be curated so you choose the very best of the bunch to showcase!
06
Space-saving & drawing table
An art express
Fun meets function with this budget-friendly idea to keep the kids’ clutter off the floor. Add tonal baskets to store underneath the bench and let little but big imaginations run wild with a roll holder for drawing paper built into the benchtop.
Your kids can show off their inner Van Gogh with a pinboard gallery placed above the simply styled storage shelf and drawing table.
