Kids are ever-growing and their requirements keep on increasing and changing with time! With inherent curiosity and fascination to learn new things and observe their surroundings, it is important that their immediate environment (bedroom) is adequately placed with all the required elements to bring out the best in them!
Contrary to popular belief, you needn’t burn your pockets or go for fancy stuff to make their room look ‘cool’, some simple day-to-day room decor items are enough to get your kids going!
15 Must-Have Items for Kids’ Room
1. Cosy Bedding
Bedroom is all about relaxing and rejuvenating, whether it is kids or adults. Thus, it is important to ensure that kids have cosy bedding that provides warmth and convenience while they are dreaming at night or having a playdate in the daytime. The kids’ bed sheets should be of high quality to avoid any skin allergy or sleep disturbances and also vibrant in colour to fascinate the kids. Also, the comforters, duvet and AC quilts should be soft, and easy to wash and maintain.
2. Sheer Curtains
Just like bedding, curtains are also an essential part of kids' bedroom things. Go for sheer light curtains for the kids' bedroom to allow ample natural light as well as fresh air to enter the room. Opt for fresh hues and tints. You can also go for specific themes like jungle themes, fishes, space exploration, or floral designs based on the preference of your kids. Go for long curtains for kids that automatically give the illusion of a bigger space.
3. Study Table and Desk Organisers
Kids of any age definitely require a study table with one or two drawers in it. Make sure the desk has enough legroom for your kids as they grow up fast! Also, they require desk organisers for kids such as stationery holders, bookends, desktop cord organisers, and quirky desk mats, as they have ‘n’ a number of things to store and organise for their daily requirements.
4. Pin Board
Once the study table is well in place, you can place a pin board on the front wall of the desk. Pinboards are very useful as kids need to pin up their important events, daily routine, timetable, recent DIY artworks, some inspiring captions and more! Let the kids decorate their own pin board and encourage them to keep on updating it with recent and more important upcoming schedules and events.
5. Cupboards and open shelves
Just like a desk, cupboards and open shelves are very essential for kids. Kids have a plethora of toys, games as well as clothes to store. You can create small compartments in their cupboards and store their clothes, toys and games in different compartments for easy access. Also, open shelves are very useful for displaying wall accents, small toys, showpieces, their achievements and more. Check out kids’ storage essentials at Vaaree.
6. Bookshelves
Books are an essential part of growing kids. In every age group, kids love reading different kinds of books ranging from school textbooks, fables, fantasy, science fiction, and so on. Get creative-looking wall shelves, arrange their books and a bookshelf is ready for your kid's room.
7. The Reading Light
Lighting is an essential aspect in a kid's room. We just can’t ignore it! Check out kids' lamps and can go for pendant lights, wall lamps, sconces, recessed lights under the study table and even whimsical table lamps for that late evening reading or studying. Illuminate your kid’s room with adequate lighting and see the room getting decked up beautifully!
8. Storage Essentials
Kids will be kids, thus they will have unending storage needs. This is because kids keep on growing, however, they do not want to part away with items related to their childhood memories. Thus, opt for chic storage essentials for their infinite storage requirements ranging from toys, towels, board games, books and so on. Ditch the plastic storage boxes and choose attractive, sustainable boxes made in jute, bamboo, macrame and so on.
9. Wall Art
Get beautiful wall art and paintings for the kids' room that will inspire them every day! You can go for world maps, space exploration, the galaxy, the jungle scene or even castles and fantasy! Let your child’s imagination have no boundaries! Another option is to let your kids bring out their creativity and create their own artworks and display them with pride in the kid's room!
10. Photo Frames
Life is a series of beautiful memories, and as kids grow super duper fast, it is through mesmerising photographs, that we can preserve their childhood moments! Whether we are talking about their first photograph as a newborn, their first day to school or winning a prize in a school competition, do create a gallery wall with photo frames to preserve all those memories to look back and enjoy a nostalgic feeling down memory lane!
11. Trash Box
However obvious it may sound, a trashbox is a must-have in the kid's room. Let the kids learn the habit of cleaning their room from an early age and throwing all the trash in the dustbin. Whether we talk about pencil shavings, paper crumbs, craft residue, empty bottles or anything unwanted, let kids inculcate the habit of keeping their room neat and tidy always!
12. Mats and Rugs
Other kids’ room essentials include bathroom mats and area rugs. Bathroom mats keep the room non-slippery and dry. Area rugs placed in the room help kids enjoy their play time as well as creative pursuits like block building, painting, clay moulding and so on! Opt for vibrant hues, patterns and designs for mats and rugs for kids’ rooms.
13. Wall Clock
Kids need to follow a certain routine, whether it is their school routine, study routine, playtime or even sleeping time. Every kid's room needs a wall clock that will keep them on track of their daily chores and routine. In fact kids’ wall clocks not only act as a time machine but also a beautiful room decor product available in various cartoon characters and quirky designs!
14. Plants and Planters
From an early age, kids need to inculcate the habit of a sustainable lifestyle. Let them keep small natural plants with planters in their room, grow indoor plants and even take care of them. This small responsibility will not only make them sensitive towards the environment but also keep the air purified as well as enhance the aesthetics in the form of kids' room decor items.
15. Pouffe or Bean Bags
Kids of all ages love pouffes and bean bags! Stylish, comfortable and playful, these adjectives are well suited for cosy kids room accessories in bright hues, lovely designs, whimsical prints and chic patterns. Let your kid have an amazing time on pouffes and bean bags while reading a book or just rejuvenating!
