I think all caring parents should pay more attention to the choice of room design for their children. Your children’s room is where your little ones spend the majority of their time, where they grow and develop their individuality, learn new things and play with their favorite toys. That’s why it’s important to design the best and the most comfortable room for your children, considering their tastes and personality. If they don’t like their room’s furniture, accessories, or the color of wallpapers, they will feel unhappy and even lose the desire to learn and play.
When I was a child, I dreamt about a bright and exciting bedroom with colorful furniture and funny decorations, but there was nothing special in my room: only toys and a few cheerful pictures on the wall could tell you it was a child’s room. We lived in a small flat and due to that my parents couldn’t implement their great ideas for designing my room.
Every time I visited my friend, I was fascinated by her colorful and playful room, which filled me with positive emotions. So, when I had given birth to my own child, I strongly decided to design a cozy and beautiful room for her. Now my little daughter feels delighted and enjoys playing in her room throughout the day.
If you are going to prepare a new room for your kids, bear in mind that you can do it easily even without spending lots of money. I hope that the following tips will help you to create an unforgettable playroom for your little ones.
1. Consider the Space
The first thing you should do while designing a children’s room is to measure it and make sure there will be enough space for your kids to have fun and play around. Personally, I tried not to use too much furniture in my child’s room since it could constrict her movement and make her feel uncomfortable. Thus, I recommend you avoid cramming the room with unnecessary furniture items if it has little space. Perhaps you have another room in your flat that can give more freedom for your kids to enjoy their personal activities. The main rule you should stick to is to keep a small room simple and neat. Otherwise, it will have a cluttered and messy look.
2. Choose the Right Color
Without a doubt, color plays a significant role in decorating the room for your kids. You can use colors that can’t be found in other areas of your home. Nowadays, there’s a wide range of colors and combinations that will look marvelous in your child’s room. Before opting for the most suitable color scheme, I suggest you take into account the preferences of your little one.
From my personal experience, I know that it’s essential to consider their tastes, no matter how old they are. Don’t be afraid to mix colors and combine them in different parts of the room. I used light green wallpapers for my daughter’s room and added this color to such items as a bed and carpet. When it comes to decorating kids’ rooms, bright hues are the preferred choices to make them look more spacious.
3. Opt for Cheap Furniture
As I mentioned above, you don’t need a lot of furniture for a small room. However, it should be designed specifically for children since safety is the most crucial thing to consider when furnishing their room. Surely, all parents want to get high-quality furniture for their loved ones, but what should we do if it is rather expensive for us? I’ve found a nice solution to this problem.
Since I didn’t have enough money for new items, I purchased good quality used furniture, and I’m still satisfied with my choice.
Nowadays, many Internet services will help you buy whatever you need without leaving your home. Another cheap and creative way to design your child’s room on a budget is to polish old items with new colors. When I couldn’t find a table for my daughter’s playroom, one of my neighbors gave the old one to me to only clean it up, painted, and a news item appeared in the room.

When I designed the lightning in my child’s room, I used only ceiling light and a simple light switch to guarantee my daughter’s safety.
5. Add Wall Hangings
One of the cheapest and most creative ideas for decorating children’s rooms is using various wall hangings that will add some sophistication and uniqueness to your children’s room. It will be a splendid decision to frame your kid’s photos and hang them on the wall – they will always create a warm atmosphere in your home and remind you of the most precious moments in your life.
