Best Children’s Bedroom Ideas

A good place to start when choosing kid’s room paint ideas is using different hues to zone spaces. Older children may need a place to study so require a calmer corner where a desk will fit, and smaller children may want a cosy décor with patterns, kid friendly themes or characters by the bed.

For a scheme that will last longer than their current favourite superhero fad, try a range of neutral tones and mix with patterns. This look is soft and welcoming at night but also a nod to more sophisticated modern design (parent and child friendly). A plain blue room darkening roller blind will unite the scheme.

Children’s lighting needs to work on lots of levels. Task light for play and homework, low light kid’s lamp for storytelling and wind-down time (don’t forget a night light for the littler ones). Teenagers will work better with a blind that filters light as they need (and want) to sleep longer at weekends. Layer the lighting at different height levels with different wattages so you can control the effect.

For early risers or in summer months ensure you manage daylight: children’s Pleated blinds can have fun, friendly colours but still incorporate high performance materials to keep them snug at night and cool for a summer afternoon nap. Invaluable for good sleep for the whole household.

Almost every parent has a story regarding felt tip pens and a blank white wall. Avoid these flash points by making their self expression a feature. Introduce an art wall with durable paint, so Blu-Tack and Sellotape don’t peel strips off the wall when they want to change posters or photographs, or black board paint they can wipe clean between art sessions.

A mix of the two, a wall mural for creative kids with wall stickers they can use to add in their own storytelling will give them a chance to express themselves freely whilst also a decorative asset.

Research shows that personal mementos such as nice memories from holidays make kids feel secure and happy. Treat your little ones to some bespoke Duette® Shades to brighten up their bedrooms and help them to sleep better with room darkening fabrics that also keep a room cooler in summer, warmer in winter and insulated all year round.
