Getting the balance right between appealing to the children and maintaining a tastefully designed home can be tricky. Whether it’s you child’s first bedroom, or a teenager’s living space, here is our curated collection of charming children’s bedroom ideas that blend playfulness with timeless style.
- Take a loose theme as inspiration – and then mix it up a little bit to prevent things from looking overly coordinated.
Here are some of our favourite starting points:
Storybook Woodland
- Natural wood furniture and leafy green accents
- A canopy bed that feels like a woodland hideaway
- Whimsical, toile style wallpaper with a woodland theme
Nautical Nostalgia
- Striped bedding, puffin prints, and jars of seashells
- Rope details and vintage maps for a sense of adventure
- Soft blues and whites for a breezy, calming palette
- Rattan and wicker textures
. Vintage Travel
- Suitcase-style storage and antique globes
- Postcard-inspired wall art and muted tones
- A reading nook styled like a train carriage or hot air balloon basket
- Select muted paint tones for walls. Colour is a great option but maintain a heritage slant to the colour choices by avoiding anything too bright.
- Add some wall panelling; from tongue and groove, to dado and picture rails, wall panelling can help give a more modern space character and depth.
- Hide clutter away with clever storage from bedside tables with doors and cupboards, to trundle drawers.
- Add flounces and frills to eiderdowns and window treatments, to add a touch of whimsy to a space.
- Mix prints, patterns and global inspiration for a slightly eclectic, thrown together and effortless feel.
- Choose beds with elegant and traditional features such as turned legs, finials and routered edges.
Happy styling! x
