There’s a great choice of children’s bedroom furniture and fun decorating styles that will grow along with them. With a range of options to suit any budget, the only limit to decorating the kids’ bedroom is your imagination!

There are lots of things you can do to make a great kids’ bedroom for your little ones. Children’s bedrooms have so much potential for fun, and although you could spend a fortune, you really don’t have to, with a few simple decorating ideas.

Colour is the next thing to choose for your child’s bedroom, although Carey recommends finding fabric for the window coverings and doona before settling on a paint colour. "It’s much easier to match a paint colour to fabric than the other way round," she says.

Additional children’s furniture that can add a playful touch to the room without costing the earth includes old favourites such as hat stands, over-sized alphabet letters, quirky clocks, novelty doorknobs, sports theme decor and decals that can be put on and peeled off when it suits. "The decals are great for feature walls or enlivening a wardrobe or bookshelves," says Carey.

There are also a few funky items that are ever popular with kids. "In particular the animal-shaped night lights for younger children that change colour from pink to green and lavender and blue; they are just lovely and kids love them," she says.

And don’t think for one moment that beanbags are exclusively for groovy grown-ups, with a range of kid-size bags available in a variety of shapes, colours and fun motifs. These are perfect for kids’ bedrooms: "Just be sure you get a good-quality one, with an inner calico bag," says Carey. "That way when you need to wash the cover you don’t get beans everywhere.".

Although a fun kids’ bed, such as Thomas the Tank Engine, may seem like a good idea at the time, Carey suggests otherwise. "Children tire quickly of them and as a bed is a costly purchase, if you can’t afford to change it, your child might be stuck with it," she says.

Trundle beds that can roll under your child’s bed are a better idea. Not only are they great for sleepovers, but they also provide an extra storage area.A basic rule of thumb when creating a children’s bedroom is to keep furniture quite simple, so as your child grows it’s easy to update colours and decorations in line with their tastes.
