Guide To Furnishing Kid’s Bedroom

Furnishing a kid’s bedroom requires a considerable amount of thoughtfulness and creativity. The furniture has to be functional, safe, colorful and space saving. Fitting all these features into one room requires skill and looking at things from a child’s point of view.

Let’s delve deeper and look at some points that should be considered when furnishing a kid’s bedroom:

Non-Toxic And Environment Friendly: We want the best for our child and the best place to begin is his/her bedroom. When buying furniture for your child’s bedroom, be sure to opt for furniture which is made from environment-friendly material. A good example of this is natural wood. It is devoid of harmful chemicals that are usually present in materials like artificial board e.g. chipwood, plyboard, particle wood etc. If the furniture is painted, do inquire as to whether the paint used is lead-free or not.
Safety: Children are highly prone to injuries so avoid buying furniture with sharp corners/angles. Low lying beds with side protection are better for kids in comparison to high beds as they prevent injuries caused by falls. Furniture with round curves is your best bet. The furniture should also be firm enough to carry the weight of your child while he/ she uses it. It should be properly assembled. There should be no loose screws. This will avoid accidents caused by accidental toppling and lifting.
Practicality And Durability: The furniture you buy for your child’s room should not be limited to its appearance. Practicality and durability should be a higher priority. Kids will not just sit or sleep all day in their rooms. They will play, jump, dance and have tons of fun. Buy furniture that is in tandem with their energy levels and growth requirements. Opt for furniture that’s durable enough to last up to their teens and not just through childhood. Look for furniture that can be adjusted as per the child’s stage of development.
Maintenance: For kids, their bedrooms are their destination for fun. It’s where they will paint, color, draw and do lots of creative stuff. So when buying furniture for kids, consider its maintenance. The furniture should be made of a material that’s water proof and easy to clean.
Storage: Furniture for kids with smart storage options will keep you sane and your child organized. Storage options give your child room for uninhibited fun because clearing a mess is no big deal. Roll out bed drawers, under bed storage, beds with bookshelves, cabin beds, chest of drawers etc. are some examples of furniture that incorporate storage space.
Floor Space: Kids need space more than a huge piece of good-looking furniture. So when choosing furniture for your kid’s room, go for furniture that uses floor space efficiently. High sleepers are an example of such furniture. These are tall beds that maximize the use of space and offer tons of storage options.
