CHILD’S BEDROOM

Young children are already expressive, have their own preferences, and would have developed unique personalities. When it comes to their bedrooms, take into consideration their character and quirks so they can relate to the room and take pride in it. Make room for your child to display drawings, pictures and crafts that he or she has created to infuse the room with personality, too. Even better, create a reading nook or even a hiding space that allows little ones to escape into their own dreamt up worlds. As your child’s tastes are still developing, it’s best to still use freestanding furniture pieces. Consider going for built-in furniture and fittings only when he or she is much older. Children should also have easy access to their toys, so do not store them too high up as they may climb to get it. And have complete control over the lighting, as this greatly influences young children. Dimmer switches help to adjust the mood accordingly when it’s time to get up or sleep.
