Every child deserves a bedroom they see as their retreat and safe space. It’s more than a room they sleep in; it’s a peaceful haven to play and spend time alone or with siblings and friends.
If your child doesn’t feel like their bedroom offers everything they need, you can change that. Here are some easy ways to make your child’s bedroom more fun.
Create a reading nook
If your child is an avid reader, give them a fun place to read their favourite books in their own bedroom.
A reading nook with a comfortable chair, a canopy, and a bookcase may be the answer. You can paint a bookcase a fun colour, add book nook kits for more interactivity, and even introduce book-themed decor. When you create a fun place for your children to read, you may foster a new love of reading and books.
Add a mural wall
There’s nothing wrong with neutral bedroom colours for future sellability. However, most young children love bright colours. In one study, they responded with happiness and excitement toward bright colours such as pink, red, and blue. They had negative emotions toward dark colours like grey, black, and brown.
If you’re not eager to give your child’s bedroom a total paint makeover, consider a mural wall. They are easy to put on and take off and are available in various fun patterns and colours.
Plan for sleepovers
Many people have fond memories of sleepovers with their friends when they were younger. If you want your children to create the same memories, design their bedrooms for sleepovers.
As easy way to do this is to buy a trundle bed that slides underneath their bed, or a bunk bed. You should also ensure there’s plenty of floor space so multiple children can play to their heart’s content.
Invest in fun storage
You want your children to have fun in their bedroom, but you also don’t want it to be a cluttered mess!
Consider investing in fun storage that your children will happily use. There are many options worth exploring, like colourful storage bins, wall cubbies, under-bed storage, and wall-mounted storage. You can even buy furniture that doubles as storage. The more storage you have in your child’s bedroom, the more toys they can tuck away out of sight to keep their space organised and tidy.
Get your child involved
You might have many wonderful ideas for making your child’s room more fun. However, that doesn’t mean your child will agree. Get them involved in styling their bedroom so they can have a say in any major changes you make.
Your child may have colour preferences or ideas for where they want specific furniture or toys to go. Listening to their ideas may improve your chances of creating a space they want to spend their free time in.
Your child’s bedroom may not be what they describe as ‘fun’ right now, but that doesn’t mean it never will be. Take note of these tips to transform their bedroom into a fun and serene sanctuary they’d be proud to show their friends.
