Urban life is demanding and fast, but that does not mean you can or should compromise on the way you want to live your life! You can transform your urban home, no matter how compact it is into space which spells calm, peace and means home. So are you looking for ideas to decorate your children’s room which is on the tiny side? Here are some inspirations:
Colors
A small bedroom needs to look open and airy so one should go for lighter colors, pastels or pure whites with color accents according to the kids’ choice. The walls should look open and inviting so keep the wall additives as minimal as possible. The theme can be simple and inviting. Instead of doing a whole wall of highlights, like wallpaper etc., go for colorful or patterned skirting, dobby strip or colorful ceiling.
Furniture
The furniture needs to be extremely functional – think folding beds, sofa cum beds, bunks, loft beds with functional area underneath; all sorts of multifunctional furniture pieces will come handy and enhance the room’s look as well as use perfectly. These days online kids furniture shopping in Mumbai and other big cities (with small homes) is a feasible way to decorate the house as time is limited when both the partners are working. It is convenient and good, sturdy products arrive, making the trend even more common.
Decoratives
For a compact space, it is ideal to keep it completely minimalistic by reducing the number and placement surfaces of show pieces and decorative items to very low. The kid’s room can have max one surface to display some decoratives and those need to be multipurpose as well – like a clock, a box which can also hold some knick-knacks, bookends etc.
Walls
Keep the walls 2 dimensional as far a possible because shelves break the line of sight abruptly, making the room appear smaller. The paintings or mirrors etc should also not be too protruding and must not disrupt the cleanness of the wall plane. The neater the walls are the more spacious the room will look.
Bed linen
The color sensitivity must replicate on bed linen too, and also the fact that the lesser the clutter on the bed (read: pillows and throws and cushions) the better it is going to be. It is soothing if there are minimal pillows and throws on the bed. It can be a comfortable bedding system even without lots of pillows and cushions – invest in a good mattress and leave the cushions for the living room couch.
Carpeting and rugs
The floor must be covered in some portion because the covered floor is the best play area for the kids. It keeps them off the cold floor as well, and the space in the room can be utilized wel for coloring, playing and even studies sometimes. Cover the floor with a rug of choice but for the small room, always go for a wall to wall covering so that the room appears bigger. Use color in the rugs, but refrain from too dense a pattern or too bright a shade.
Small rooms can be decorated well and if it is a kids’ room, everything in that small room needs to work extra hard to make it work for their comfort! Use these tips and work smarter and ultimately end up with a beautiful and cozy room for your children.
