We continue sharing some advice on organizing a kids’ space, and today I’d like to get into kid room design and décor, not for the wee ones and not for the teenagers. If you have a toddler, you should create a beautiful space for him or her for sure to make your child feel happy and secure when he or she comes back to the room. How to do that?
Whatever style and decor you choose, a kid’s room should have a sleeping space, a study space, a play space and a smartly organized closet and storage. Let’s have a look at them more closely.
The Sleeping Zone
Go for maximum comfort and coziness here, make it your kid’s private nook where he or she will feel relaxed. The bed here plays the main part: it should be comfy and cute and of course it should highlight the room décor. It can be very creative: a house-shaped one, a truck or boat-shaped one. Add a canopy if it’s a little princess room, or your boy’s favorite posters on the wall and a playful lamp on the nightstand.

The Study And Creative Area
Kids love to create, draw, paint, make whatever they like! And they also need to study a bit, so a study space should be present. A desk with storage a comfy chair or bench are a great idea for any room, keep them in the same style as the whole room. another great idea is a long desktop attached to the wall: it’s very space-saving and is perfect for shared rooms. Besides, your kid can invite friends, and everybody will have enough space at the desk.

The Play Space
Playing is one of the most important things in the life of your child, so create a comfortable zone for him or her to play and invite little friends to play together. If you have enough space, you can make a separate playroom, if not, then include a playing nook into the room décor. The most popular items for a playing nook are a teepee, a desk or a chalkboard wall for drawing and creating, various toys, a play kitchen and so on, here everything depends on your child’s tastes and wishes.

Organizing A Kid’s Closet
After decorating all the previous space, only one question is left: where will your child store all the clothes and shoes? If you have enough space, make an in-wall closet or a built-in one, add shelving, hangers, hooks and holders. If not, there’s a trendy solution – a makeshift closet, with which the clothes and shoes become a part of the décor. Don’t forget to place a sideboard for smaller things.
