Every parent wants their child to grow up in an environment where he feels safe, happy and creative. A child’s room is not just a place to sleep, but it is also a world of their imagination. Therefore, the interior design of a child’s room should be playful and colorful. Let’s know some easy and effective ways in which you can make a child’s room beautiful, creative and lively.
Importance of colors for children’s room
Colors have a profound effect on the mood and behavior of children.
- Blue color brings peace and concentration.
- Yellow color is full of energy and positivity.
- Green color provides freshness and balance.
- Colors like red and orange keep children active and excited.
Balance of colors is important in a child’s room. Use different colors in walls, furniture, curtains and decoration, but keep in mind that the colors should not be too intense so that the eyes get rest.
Decorate walls with wall paintings and wallpapers
Children love the world of cartoons, jungle, space, sea or fairy tales.
- Wall murals or theme based wallpapers take children to a new world.
- Nowadays peel-and-stick wallpapers are available in the market, which you can easily apply on the wall and can also change.
If your child is growing up, then you can decorate the wall according to his favorite theme – such as superheroes, space theme or things related to science.
Use multifunctional furniture
There may be a shortage of space in children’s rooms, so choose furniture that is multifunctional.
- Storage drawer under the bed
- Book shelf with study table
- Foldable chair and table
- Wall mounted shelves
This will not only save space in the room but the child will also learn to organize things himself.
Create a place for sports
Children are very fond of playing, so keep a corner in the room where they can play comfortably.
- Lay a soft mat
- Put boxes for small toys
- Put a swing or tent house
- Climbing holds can also be installed on the wall, if the child is a little older
This place promotes physical activity along with their play.
Create a study and creativity corner
Every child should have a corner in his room where he can study, draw or do any creative work.
- Study table with good lighting
- Storage for colored pencils, crayons, paper etc.
- Put motivational quotes or charts
- Also put a white board or pin board on the wall
This develops the habit of reading and creating something new in children.
Take care of light and ventilation
Natural light is very important for the health of children.
- Try to have a big window in the room
- Keep the color of the curtains light so that light can come in
- Use colorful lamps, fairy lights or night lights for lighting
This makes the room look more lively and warm.
Give priority to children’s choice
While designing the room, it is very important to keep in mind the child’s age, his choice and habits.
- If the child is 3-6 years old, then cartoon or animal theme will be good
- If the child is 7-12 years old, then the theme of superheroes, science, sports or music can be adopted
- Keep a slightly mature and stylish design for teenage children
Involve the child in the designing process as well, this will make him like his room even more.
Safe and durable design
Safety is most important in children’s room.
- Round the corners of furniture
- Cover electrical sockets
- Avoid slippery floors
- Use non-toxic paints and materials
Also, choose furniture and materials that are durable and can withstand the energetic antics of children.
Decorate the room according to the theme
Nowadays, many themes are popular for children’s rooms such as:
- Jungle theme – green colors, animal posters and tree wall stickers
- Space theme – planets, stars and astronauts
- Underwater theme – fish, water bubbles, sea colors
- Princess theme – pink, purple colors, castle-like bed and twinkling lights

With these themes, the child feels himself in a new world of imagination.

You can also make a small “Art Gallery Wall” where all the artworks of the child can be changed from time to time.
