Inspiring ideas on how to make out the most of space in a kid’s bedroom

Kids’ bedrooms are multifunctional spaces where they can sleep, study, play, daydream, and spend time with friends. Whether it is a girls’ or boys’ room decorating, the rooms’ design ideas should be adaptable to the kids’ needs and interests which change as they are growing up.

A kid’s room should be spacious, attractive and well organized providing ample storage in order to avoid a clutter desk and floor. Consequently, the interior design should maximize space in a kid’s bedroom and combined with a selection of space saving bedroom furniture should create a comfortable and functional bedroom.

The bed should not overwhelm the space. A bed providing space underneath for a desk or for playing is a good selection. Alternatively a platform bed with drawers underneath is suitable for kids who don’t like climbing up to the bed.
