Kids' rooms should spark imagination while staying easy to tidy. The trick is a flexible base with fun, swappable details.
Build a flexible base
Choose neutral walls and solid furniture that can last for years, then add colour through bedding, rugs, art and wall decals that are easy to update as tastes change.
Storage kids can reach
When storage is low and simple, children can tidy up on their own.
- Use open bins with picture labels.
- Install low shelves for books with covers facing out.
- Add hooks at child height for bags and jackets.
Create a reading nook
A floor cushion, a small canopy or teepee and a clip-on lamp turn a corner into a favourite spot.
Safety first
Anchor tall furniture to the wall, choose cordless blinds and pick non-toxic, washable paint finishes.
