It is a truth universally acknowledged that children's' rooms are often a designer's dream!

These spaces provide an opportunity to push the boundaries of design and fully embrace colour, texture, and unique furniture. However, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind when approaching children’s rooms.

Firstly, children often have current favourites, for example, a TV show, outer space, or ballet. While it's tempting to go all out with a theme for children’s rooms, it's likely that the child will move on to a different hobby within a year. This can result in a significant waste of money on a room that will require further investment to update.

The best solution is to start with a solid foundation that can grow with the child. A children’s room that suits a six-year-old could also adapt to a sixteen-year-old with some thoughtful choices in wall colour, flooring, and main furniture. While some will need to be updated, for example they will need a new bed as they grow, the goal is to ensure that the more permanent and expensive elements remain neutral. 

The fun and personalisation come into play with accessories. Items like cushions, curtains, and lighting can all be tailored to reflect the child's current interests without committing to a complete overhaul of the room. 

Children’s rooms can be incredibly enjoyable to design. By paying attention to key factors, you can create a space that not only offers longevity but also provides a fun and stimulating environment for years to come.
