DESIGNS TO GROW INTO

The right bedroom design is more than just aesthetics or functionality - it’s the perfectly balanced marriage of both. Our design experts weigh in on the issue

Designing a bedroom for a child may seem like a piece of cake, but experts agree there’s more than meets the eye. From design basics like colour schemes and furnishings to final additions like art, lighting, and decorations, here’s our list of 10 things to pay attention to in putting together a bedroom your child can grow into.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR SOFT FRIENDS

Every child has their fair share of soft friends and huggable plush animals, and that’s perfectly fine. And, as your child grows, you can count on their collections to expand in similar fashion. From art supplies and board games to books and various other collectibles, your child will need space to indulge their hobbies. This necessitates an abundance of storage in the bedroom, which can be incorporated into the overall bedroom design for flair and function both. Make use of awkward corners in the space, and don’t be afraid to build upwards if floor space is sparse. Build drawers into the bottom of the bed; it’ll give your little one extra room for storing their stuffed animals, and completely deprive monsters of their prime hiding spot to boot!
