7 ideas for charming children's rooms

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.

  1. 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

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. Hide clutter away with clever storage from bedside tables with doors and cupboards, to trundle drawers.

  1. Add flounces and frills to eiderdowns and window treatments, to add a touch of whimsy to a space.

 

  1. Mix prints, patterns and global inspiration for a slightly eclectic, thrown together and effortless feel.

 

  1. Choose beds with elegant and traditional features such as turned legs, finials and routered edges.

Happy styling! x
