7 Ways to Create Your Child’s Ideal Bedroom

When you’re searching for ideas to make your child’s bedroom cool, interesting, and enjoyable, you have endless options. Your ability to create an amazing bedroom only depends on how creative you can get. To spark some ideas, here’s a list of 7 things that will help you create the ultimate bedroom for your child.

1. Get a bunk bed

Bunk beds are great for sleepovers, but they’re also fun to sleep in as a regular bed. If your child loves the idea of sleeping up high on the top bunk, or having the option of switching between two different beds, give bunk beds a try.

You can get bunk beds in any size, and a queen bunk bed is a good option if your child has friends over for sleepovers once in a while. There are so many different configurations, like queen over queen, or full over queen. If you have enough space, you can get a bunk bed with built-in storage. Typically, these units take up a little more horizontal space, but it’s worth it because your child can use it as an extra dresser or toy box.

There are so many different bunk bed styles, and some are really creative. If you look around long enough, you’ll find something that matches your child’s style and will serve its functional purpose.

2. Hand paint a dresser

Kids love hand painted furniture, especially when it’s decorated with bright colors or their favorite cartoon characters. All you need is a dresser, some paint, and sandpaper if you need to remove the existing finish.

The best place to get a dresser is at the thrift store or from an online marketplace for second hand items. Even the ugliest, most worn out dresser can be brought back to life with a little paint.

3. Paint the walls a fun color

Most bedroom walls are painted a boring shade of cream, and that’s fine for living rooms and hallways, but your child’s bedroom will be way more interesting with colorful walls.

Ask your child what color they’d like their walls and then paint them. A lot of people paint their walls different colors, and that can look really good. Although, you do need to be careful about which colors you choose. If your child says they want yellow walls, for example, they might get tired of such a bright color after a few weeks. Certain colors might sound good in theory, but can clash terribly in reality.

4. Let your child draw or paint on the walls

Another fun option is to allow your child to paint or draw on their bedroom walls. You can give them the creative freedom to use crayons, pencils, or markers anytime they wish, or you can set aside time to draw with them and supervise their activities. If you’re going to let them paint, you should probably supervise the session and cover the carpet to protect it from spills and drips.

5. Decorate with a specific theme

If your child has an affinity for a specific movie, cartoon character, or interest, they might like having their room decorated with that theme. If what they like is popular, you can probably find cheap party decorations at your local department store or even the dollar store. You can also find items online.

6. Get creative with the lighting

Lighting can make a huge difference in how your child experiences their bedroom. Most bedrooms have one overhead light that doesn’t really illuminate the whole room. Consider either getting a new light fixture designed to create better light, or add other sources of light, like a floor lamp, a table lamp, and LED strip lights. You can get really creative with strip lights, and some of them even flash and change colors.

7. Install surround sound

Adults aren’t the only ones who would enjoy having surround sound in their bedroom. Kids love listening to music and audio books, so why not install a simple surround sound system in their room? There are setups that cost far less than you might think. It would be a great addition for any child who spends a lot of time listening to music after school, and it might even help them fall asleep.

Ask your child what they’d like to see in their bedroom

All of these ideas can help you create the ultimate retreat for your child, but be sure to ask them what they prefer before giving their bedroom a makeover. Getting their input and working on the project together will also be a great way to bond with your child.
