5 smart ideas for your small children’s room
Of course, we love to dream about high ceilings and rooms the size of a ballroom. But very often the reality is different. And here are the good news – size is not the most important factor when it comes to designing a great children’s room. A small space might challenge your creativity a little more but often turns into a very smart and well thought out room.
Naturally, we would like a bright and well-organised room for our children. For them to play, to do homework and to dream. And with a little bit of imagination, this can be done with a small space as well!
How to start:
Start thinking about what you actually really need in the room. The basics like a bed, storage, desk, and a chair. A tiny room will really stop you from adding unnecessary things and get you acquainted with the ‘less is more’ lifestyle we are all after.
How to organise a clutter-free small bedroom:
1. Use the space under the bed.
2. Declutter often.
3. Read our very helpful article about ‘decluttering children’s spaces.

Soft colours and the bed built high up to create a lot of storage space underneath. You see that this is a popular solution for small spaces. And a very clever one.
Space-smart storage ideas:
1. If your bed allows for storage space underneath, use it.
2. Invest in multi-use furniture! Half-wardrobe, half-drawer options can be very useful in a small room. Or a small desk that doubles as a bedside table.
3. Peg-boards. They look great and can be easily re-arranged and make for an adjustable storage solution. Win-win!
Colours for small children’s rooms:
Bright and neutral colours and lots of natural light – if possible- brighten up any small space.
What do you think? A small space can really turn into a delightful and creative space. It can be really cosy as well.
