Furnishing a child's room is often a challenge for parents. The more conscious they are of their needs (or worse, their whims), the greater the challenge. When a child has a specific vision of how they want their room to look, but this vision does not necessarily coincide with ours, a problem arises. We have two options in this situation. The first is to completely ignore the child's needs and furnish the room as we have planned it. However, we have to reckon with the fact that this solution is extremely stressful - both for us and for our child. The other option is to try to find a compromise that will allow us and your child to find an arrangement that both you and your child will like. There are some interesting tricks that will make your child's room functional, decorated with taste and style, and - not to forget - a space that your child will love.
Colours are key!
It's a common misconception that the colour scheme of a child's room is the place to start when discussing with your child how they want their room to ultimately look. Painting or wallpapering the walls, as well as choosing the right floor panelling or skirting boards are things we have to start with when it comes to decorating a child's room. In this respect, it's worth taking into account the size of your child's room. Let's remember the simplest rules regarding the choice of wall colour: the smaller the room, the more we should try to optically enlarge it. To do this, use light - preferably pastel - colours. If the room is larger, you can afford darker colours. But no matter what, we also need to take into account how bright the room we want to decorate is. This in turn will depend on the location of the room (east, west, north, south) and how large the windows are and whether the room has a balcony, for example. According to these parameters, we will choose the colours. We can show the child several options that come into play and let him decide, or we can choose the colour scheme together.
Children's furniture: functionality and design
The next step we need to take when it comes to furnishing a child's room is to choose the right furniture. This in turn will depend on the previously chosen colour scheme. An interesting solution is to use contrast in this aspect. For example, if the walls and floor of the children's room are very light, it is good to consider buying furniture in a slightly darker colour. We will then be able to create an interesting contrast in the room. Our child will love this.
Adding a personal touch to the room
Once the walls have been painted or wallpapered and the furniture is in place, it's time to choose the accessories for your child's room. Bearing in mind what kind of room you want to furnish, choose the accessories together with your child. Obviously, a child's room should not lack such elements as a toy basket, but it is also worth thinking about more functional accessories, such as a sack-type sitting bag.
An original and unconventional accessory that will win the hearts of all kids.
You may be wondering: why a beanbag? First of all, we must take into account the fact that the beanbag is incredibly functional. It is a great piece of interior design, which can have many different types of use. First and foremost, we must take into account the fact that a beanbag, placed, for example, in the vicinity of a bookcase, will be a great addition to the relaxation area. beanbag poufs are also made of 100% hypoallergenic materials, thanks to which the risk of any allergies is practically non-existent. In the case of children, this is of crucial importance. In addition, beanbags are completely safe for the health of our children, as they do not adversely affect the spine, thanks to the use of high-quality polystyrene granulate to fill such bags.
What should we consider when choosing the best beanbag for our child?
When choosing a beanbag for a child's room, it is worth paying attention first and foremost to its size. It should be selected according to the size of the child's room as well as the age of our child. A beanbag that is too large may simply prove uncomfortable or, in the case of a small room, disproportionate. For smaller children, we recommend sacks and pouffes size L. For bigger kids, XL and XXL are perfect. The choice of beanbags is really vast - dozens of designs and types of fabrics, different types of bags... In a word, there is no way to make a wrong choice when deciding to buy a beanbag for a child's room!
