Decorating your son or daughter’s room can be an intimidating process. You want the space to look great, function well, and capture your little one’s imagination, but that’s a tall order for one small space, especially if it’s a space for two. 

As you look at kid's room design ideas, take note of the various patterns, bedding, paintings, and colors that customize a space. Make sure to always get the input of the children when looking at kids' room ideas; this should be a collaborative and fun design process!

Take some tips from these clever parents and designers! Whether you’re designing a shared room, working with a small space, or just looking for a one-of-a-kind concept to make your little one’s room truly unique, these smart ideas for children’s bedrooms are sure to inspire!

These tiny bedroom ideas not only look great, but they are also ACHIEVABLE and are in it for more than just the Instagram post.

In terms of picking colors for a kid’s bedroom design, incorporate a favorite hue on the walls or bring in bright accents, but stick with neutral furniture that doesn't need to be swapped out as interests change.

Create a light color scheme that they'll love - While the general rule for small spaces is to keep things light and neutral, we think you can make an exception in a small kid's room. This tends to be the room in the house where you can really be brave with your color choices, so pick out something bright and bold, like their favorite color or the color that they just simply love.

You can paint partway up the walls, so the color doesn't overwhelm the small space. You can also reconsider painting their small furniture. In a child's small bedroom, you do often find furniture has to sit side-by-side to fit it all in, but that needn't be a bad thing when you can paint a rainbow across them to make it more fun and lovely looking! 

Put an Art Gallery- Even though they're often referred to as "art walls," one of the most important things to remember when constructing a gallery wall is that they can contain more than just framed works of art. Picture ledges and wall-mounted shelves work wonders in small rooms, they take up barely any space but can display a ton of decorative accessories that are so essential in, especially small, kids' rooms. A bright assortment of frames painted in a cheery yellow make for a one-of-a-kind gallery wall in this sweet little girl’s room. You can place some cute photos of the family together or some of the adventures that you've done in the past. This will help her remember the happy times and try to be mindful of the experiences which help her grow.

Multi-Functional Storage- Sleek wall shelving provides you with plenty of flexibility both practically and aesthetically, meaning you can achieve a completely new look whenever you like. We all know that the key to a well-organized bedroom is good storage, but nowhere is it more important than in small children's rooms. We say the best way to go is a multi-purpose bedroom storage idea that can be adapted to suit your space and storage needs, and their changing needs. Check what are the things that they might need occasionally and that you can keep in the same area. Storage enables childcare providers to rotate materials based on the developmental needs and interests of the children. A storage area makes it possible to create collections of materials and props around specific themes and to build those themes into the curriculum at appropriate times during the year.

Wallpapers & Wall Stickers- As children get older, they are going to need a space to get homework done, or at least pretend to get homework done. Finding space to squeeze in a desk can be tricky in a smaller bedroom for a child so look for neglected spaces that could be put to good use – alcoves are perfect for this – then install a small desk or even a shelf and you've got a workspace. With wallpaper, you can choose from hundreds of patterns, colors, and designs. Some wallpapers can be painted, allowing you to put some texture in the room while still adding your favorite paint color, with this the room will look cozy and more fun. This will also help her have the vibe before starting the day. 

Small Stage for the Little Diva- Make your little diva's dreams come true with an adorable little stage area where you can be her VIP in the audience and top fan! This is considered an activity area that can boost her self-confidence and will help her show what she got. 

Toy Kingdom Corner for the little Bud - Exciting toys await in this specific area! A collection of vintage and contemporary toys and superhero figures on the shelves. Also, note that Table toys can also serve as excellent tools for working with children individually, and in small groups. Providing a good variety of tabletop toys with differences in texture, color, shape, and degree of difficulty would provide opportunities for each child's developmental learning.

Study Corner - As children get older, they are going to need a space to get homework done, or at least pretend to get homework done. Finding space to squeeze in a desk can be tricky in a smaller bedroom for a child so look for neglected spaces that could be put to good use – alcoves are perfect for this – then install a small desk or even a shelf and you've got a workspace. A room study space is a great place to have some peace away from the hustle and bustle of your household. The room is applicable for a personal retreat, where you can work on your writing, reading projects, online tutoring, homework help, and test prep in all subjects in the comfort of your own home.

A huge highlight of the space is the custom-designed, custom-built craft table with plenty of storage for all kinds of craft supplies.

Secret Hide Away- What kid wouldn’t love the idea of a secret attic hideout? This amazing space can be a perfect playroom space for two young girls to grow into. The space contains a custom-made playhouse, complete with a hidden trap door, custom built-in benches with plenty of toy storage, and bench cushions for reading, lounging or play pretend. In order to mimic an outdoor space, we added an indoor swing. The side of the playhouse has a small soft area with green carpeting to mimic grass and a small picket fence.

Swinging Times- Whether you have a toddler or a teen, a beautiful swing, is the perfect place to cuddle up with a good book. And the fact that it's see-through means it won't take up much visual space or make the room feel crowded. Swinging helps develop fine motor skills—grip strength, hand, arm, and finger coordination. Swinging develops a child’s core muscles and helps with the development of balance. Spinning on a swing stimulates different parts of a child’s brain simultaneously. Another way to get the physical benefits of swinging on a swing is found in tire swings. Because they are larger and typically used by two or three children at once. It is only not for physical activities, but it all depends on your imagination! Adorable toddler's DIY swings made of fabrics are a super cool idea not only for your backyard but for indoor places as well. A cute wooden swing covered with fabric looks like a perfect place for kids to relax, swing, dream, read or even have a nap.
