Guest post: Five Decorating Ideas For Your Child’s Bedroom!


Looking to redecorate your child’s bedroom into the dream space they have always wanted? Below are some ideas that cover everything from bunk beds, bedroom furniture to accessories so you and your child can get truly creative.

Bunk Bed

If your child shares a room with a sibling then a bunk bed could be the perfect space saving solution for you. They came in different shapes and sizes so there are bound to be one that suits your needs. But this can make buying a bunk bed mattress tricky as sometimes you will need a single and small double for your bunk bed. The bunk beds compact and multi-functional design will bring harmony and order to your children’s bedroom.


Themed Bedroom Furniture Sets

Choosing a themed bedroom furniture set is a great way to update your child’s bedroom without having the hassle of repainting or wallpapering the entire bedroom. There are numerous different themes to choose from including Arabian Nights, Princess, Dinosaur and the classic Boy Car Racer. The one you choose is entirely dependent on your little ones personality.

Novelty Beds

Nothing makes a bigger or bolder statement than a novelty bed. The bed is the heart of any bedroom so choosing one that suits your child’s tastes is no mean fete. For boys the obvious choice is the car bed, but there are choices as diverse as ships and rocket beds. Whereas girls have the pick from princess carriage beds that will make them feel like Cinderella to pink car beds. As you can see both girls and boys have a variety of novelty beds to choose from. 

Wall Art

Wall art is the ultimate way to put your children’s personal stamp on your child’s bedroom. It is inexpensive as either buying stencils or creating your own stencils is more cost effective than hiring a decorator. It can also be a fun project you can do with your child. So roll up your sleeves and grab brush and turn your child’s wall into a truly unique piece of art.

Toys & Games

Finally no child’s bedroom would be complete without toys and games. The traditional choices are a rocking horse, cuddly toys and the quintessential train set. But if you fancy something more vibrant why not use the icons of kitsch and retro games for inspiration. You can buy Ppacman duvet sets or twister rugs to bring a touch of this fun style to your child’s bedroom.

Cool designer alert- Kristen Cone!


Introducing Charlotte-based designer, Kristen Cone. At an early age, she has been exposed to design and style, thanks to her family legacy of textile manufacturing. Growing up, Kristen was inspired by her mother's beautiful mountain home and gardens, which were highly regarded in Southern Accents Magazine and later in the 2001 book The Southern Garden. As a world traveler, she is influenced by her exposure to textiles, furniture and decor abroad, especially in Sweden, France and Belgium. Let's take a lot at her beautiful work, shall we?









The designer: Kristen Cone

Her interiors are warm, neutral, cozy and sophisticated at the same time. I am particularly drawn to the casually elegant living room with the black and white map above the sofa and the chic and contemporary living room with the Louis Vuitton trunk coffee table. Which room gets your vote?
