Elementary Age Boys Bedrooms

by Brittney Smart, posted in Kids Furniture, on December 21st, 2012

I don’t know about you all, but I find inspiration for girls’ bedrooms everywhere. Maybe it’s because, with girls, you can always be adding stuff – ruffles, ribbons, buttons, you name it – to easily achieve a fun, feminine look. The challenge for many of us comes when we decorate our boys’ rooms. It’s not that we don’t love our young sons, and it’s not that they don’t want a fun and customized space of their own. But it’s just not as easy to come up with ideas that translate as “boy.” Here, however, are some fantastic ideas:

Play Land.

Every boy’s dream. Climbing wall, above-the-bed fort with ladder, punching bag. The décor (in a traditional sense) is kept to a minimum; instead, the room’s style is showcased in activities. I love how this room keeps a loose, natural color scheme, which adds structure to the active vibe, but it isn’t kept tight so as to appear predictable. Great use of space on built-in shelves and bed drawers, making room for other things that the boy enjoys.

Space-efficient and chic shared girls’ bedroom design ideas

by Simona Ganea, posted in Kids Furniture, on November 28th, 2012

Twins or brothers or sisters of similar age in general usually share the same bedroom. It’s a simple way of saving space by basically squeezing two or three rooms into one and it’s also a way of allowing your children to interact and to spend more time together. However, at the same time, it’s not easy to deal with their individual preferences related to the interior décor when you have to find a way of make them all happy even when they want completely different things.

In the case of shared girls’ rooms, the main lines to follow when decorating are well-defined. The main elements to take into consideration when choosing the furniture and decorations are mostly related to texture, color and delicacy of the lines. The furniture should be chic and stylish with delicate curves and friendly shapes but it also has to be space-efficient and to incorporate plenty of storage space. It would be best to choose matching beds for a cohesive décor and to opt for built-in under bed storage in order to save some space.

15 Stylish, chic and sophisticated canopy beds for girls

by Simona Ganea, posted in Kids Furniture, on November 7th, 2012

Canopy beds usually fit into one of two categories. They’re either traditional or contemporary. Originally, the design for the canopy beds appeared out of necessity. At first they were a way of adding an additional layer of shelter for protection and later the canopy beds were used by lords and their main characteristic were the ability to offer warmth and privacy. Starting with the 16th century, canopy beds got simpler designs and became plain and understated.

Nowadays, canopy beds have become a symbol of extravagance and their only role is to add style and beauty to a room. In terms of design, they are somewhat similar to four-poster beds. The traditional designs have posts at each of the four corners and feature decorative fabric draped to create a canopy directly over the bed. Modern and contemporary canopy beds don’t necessarily have posts. While traditional canopy beds have a Victorian aesthetic, modern designs aer fairly simple and have clean designs.

Usually, when you think of bunk beds you refer to the two bed combo. It’s the classical design, very practical for kids’ bedrooms shared by twins or brothers. But what if you have four kids? The solution in that case would either be to have two sets of bunk beds with two beds each or to simplify the effort and to opt for a bunk bed for four. It’s a great way of maintaining a uniform, clean and cohesive design in the bedroom.

These bunk beds for four are extremely functional and practical. They come with many advantages. The first and most important one is the fact that they allow you to save tons of space. Basically, instead of filling the room with beds you only have one small area where they all fit. The rest of the room remains free and can be used as a play area. Another advantage of having bunk beds for four is that you get to cover an entire wall with them. This way the décor of the room remains clean and organized, without partially free spaces.

Nursery and kids’ rooms are very different from the rest of the rooms in the house. First of all, they’re destined to a certain category of age so they need to have a décor that reflects that.
