Ideas For Kids Bedroom Furniture

Decorate kids' rooms with kid-themed furniture.

Furniture is a very important part of the décor of any room. In their bedrooms, people like furniture that speaks to their design preference, whether it's sleek and modern or rustic and country. Kids are the same way. In a kid's bedroom, use furniture that is age-appropriate.

Store-Bought

Furniture stores sell bedroom sets made for kids.

An easy option is to visit home furnishing stores or look on line to find kid-oriented furniture. You can find beds, dressers, trunks, accent tables, chairs and more designed with children in mind. It's made in child sizes to accommodate every size from toddlers to teens. You can even find furniture built to fit a specific look: beds that look like cars for a racing theme, fairy lamps for a princess room, rugs that look like helmets for a football theme and all sorts of pieces designed to capture a child's imagination.

Hue Help

Transform furniture with a bright, bold paint color.

If you don't want to buy new, get creative with furniture you already have. Use paint to breathe new life into old pieces and make them exciting to and inviting for kids. This idea is especially useful if you're working with several mismatched pieces that need to be coordinated. You can try putting on a crackle paint effect, or using whatever color you like: lavender, bright orange, neon green, bold blue, white with chartreuse polka dots, maroon and yellow stripes---the options are many. Then, offset the look with more muted and neutral shades on the walls in bedding, curtains, rugs, accent pillows and lampshades.

Paint pictures on furniture.

Another clever way to use paint is by painting pictures onto the furniture. This technique not only livens up the furniture, it also allows you to incorporate whatever theme you choose. For a circus room, paint clowns, dancing bears, trapeze artists and big-top tents. For a dinosaur room, paint pterodactyls, tyrannosaurus and brontosauruses. For an insect theme, paint ants, spiders, moths, and some bright-eyed beetles. For a sport theme, paint tennis, baseballs, basketball, soccer, football and hockey gear---or just focus on his favorite team or one specific sport.
