Kids

Selecting the right furniture for your child's bedroom depends on their age, interests, and the room's size. Key essentials include a suitable bed frame, a high-quality mattress for a good night's sleep, and a tallboy or dresser for organising clothing, books, and toys. Bedside tables are also a great choice for housing bedtime items. Child safety needs to be a priority, so always look for pieces with features like rounded edges and non-toxic materials.

The appropriate bed size for a child often progresses from a toddler bed to a single bed (92cm x 188cm) as they grow. For older kids and teenagers who need more space, or when furnishing rooms that can accommodate them, a king single bed (105.5cm x 203cm) or a double bed (138.5cm x 190cm) can be more suitable to promote good posture.

A great way to efficiently arrange furniture in smaller bedrooms is to invest in a kids bed frame with built-in storage at its base. This dual-purpose solution helps save floor space by combining sleeping space and storage, making the room feel larger and helping you create a tidy room.

Styling a child's bedroom involves simplicity, playfulness, and functionality. Start with a simple design, leaving space for play. Maximise room usage with multifunctional furniture, like storage beds.

Use your child's favourite hues, interesting patterns and textures for creativity. And finally, remember to include interactive elements like play tents for engagement and personal retreat space for relaxation or bedtime stories.

Soft shades of blue and gentle hues of green, each reflecting tranquillity and inspired by nature, are widely favoured as calming colours for a child's bedroom. Other popular colours include light pink, yellow and orange.
