These two months of confinement have put our homes to the test with the intensive use we are giving them. This intensive use has led us to appreciate our house more, and to rethink its distribution or its decoration.
Undoubtedly, in homes with children the spaces that have suffered the most from use have been children’s bedrooms. The hours of play and activities are taking their toll, and perhaps it is time to give them a new look, redecorate, and even distribute the space in a different way Now that we have seen how it is used and we have time to do it.
To solve this problem, we have spoken with the team of Ikea to offer us a few keys to change children’s bedrooms with little investment and large doses of imagination.
Analyze what needs they have
Before making any changes at home, it is advisable to analyze the use and needs of the space that we are going to reorganize. This advice applies perfectly to the smallest room. Think about their ages, their needs (present, but also short-term future), what they usually play, if they like to invite friends, or the amount of clothing and toys they have.
In addition, it is important to involve children in the change of their bedroom so that they feel part of the transformation of their room and feel the space as their own.
Create a magical universe
Given that the exits abroad are going to be very limited in the coming months, a great option is turn your room into a space full of fantasy in which the little ones can give free rein to their imagination and create fantastic adventures.
In addition to feeling better in your little universe, the space will invite you to play and have fun. With few elements such as a canopy, duvet covers, rugs or curtains you will achieve a surprising effect, turning your room into a jungle, a starry sky or a corner of the palace
Magic textiles
Textiles are a key resource to transform any space effortlessly and with little investment. It’s amazing how a simple duvet cover and cushions can change a bedroom in such a radical way.
What if we turn the bed into a small flower garden, or a universe of balloons or a tropical jungle? With colorful textiles and full of imagination, children will like to go to bed more and since it is such an easy element to change they will be able to alternate each story week.
Adventure in the heights
If the kids are going to spend more time in their room, it may be time to optimize space thinking in three dimensions. The height doubles the surface and the possibilities to carry out activities in your room, or even to create study areas.
With confinement many children have had to spend many hours studying and it is foreseeable that they will do so even more from now on. So a high bed It can be the perfect solution to put a desk on the bottom without taking away space in the bedroom.
It can also be the way to clear the room space putting one bed on top of the other or creating a small “living room” at the bottom.
Beds full of secrets
Children’s beds can offer many possibilities when taking advantage of space. For example, trundle beds They give us the possibility of having a second bed in their room in case they are ill some night and we want to be by their side or, when everything returns to normal, invite a friend to sleep.
Another function that children’s beds can offer us is storage. With drawers under your beds we can gain extra space to store your clothes or bedding. There are trundle beds that also offer this possibility. But there are more interesting functions such as extendable beds that grow as children do or a simple folding mattress that can get us out of trouble with small guests and that serves as a seat during the day.
Studying can be fun
In many houses they have had to improvise a study area so that the kids could connect with their teachers or do their homework. To create these study corners there are simple and affordable solutions for all ages that, in addition to responding to that functionality, will help them focus and create study habits.
Since desks with drawers to have all their materials organized, even height-adjustable tables so that they grow as they do, not forgetting ergonomic chairs in which they feel comfortable while studying. To make them comfortable in this working corner, it is important to customize it to your liking with accessories, boards or small shelves.
Customize your room
If you want your child to feel comfortable in his room, let him personalize it. Install panels to make a collage of things you like, or shelves to display your things or artwork.
Lights that tell stories
Lighting plays a fundamental role in transforming spaces and create a nice atmosphere. And in the little ones’ room it would not be less. With a simple lamp in the shape of a heart, flower, star or cloud, the children’s room will be filled with magic and will enhance the imagination of the little ones. And if any child has a scary night or nightmares, they will surely be a good ally.
No passing
Each age has its own needs, and teens need intimacy. They love spending hours in their bedroom, turned into a refuge where they talk with friends, listen to music, study, play video games or enjoy their hobbies. That is why it is so important to adapt this space so that they feel comfortable and safe, reflecting their tastes and hobbies.
