When it comes to children’s rooms, good design doesn’t have to break the bank. Beautiful design doesn’t have to be expensive to look expensive.
As a child grows, their tastes and needs evolve. As a result, designing a child-friendly space should be adaptive and flexible as well as affordable.
Affordable design ideas
- Bookcases. Bookcases can be used for both aesthetics and functionality. Use them for display as well as storage.
- Shelves. Shelves can provide a functional, space-saving and affordable way to showcase collectibles and treasured items.
Looking for a creative way to incorporate shelves? Consider using a unique material or unexpected object.
Creative design idea: Use skateboards as shelves.
Workspaces
A child-friendly workspace doesn’t need to be fancy or fussy; instead, minimal and functional is best. A desk as opposed to a table will allow for the most storage and versatility. Look for materials and construction that is built to last.
Room for two
Shared rooms need to be designed with space in mind. Be sure to place key elements in a shared room such as beds in a way that allows for entries and exits to be open and unobstructed.
