Those Awesome Kids' Rooms

A kids' room is a rather special space in home decoration because it involves many factors, such as multifunctional spaces for rest, storage, and studying; environmental friendliness related to physical health; and how to plan the layout for families with two children of similar ages or twins.

Because a kids' room is generally not the largest bedroom, its decoration focuses on making the most of a small space, setting it apart from other bedroom designs.

Today, Lao Zhao will share some real-life kids' rooms decorated by netizens, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages, and points to consider during decoration.

Case 1: Twins' Room

This is a bedroom for twins. The homeowner created a two-story layout to meet their multifunctional living needs.

When building this type of mezzanine, the central frame and supporting columns must be made of steel and welded securely for peace of mind during use.

The main color scheme of this bedroom is natural wood, giving a warm feeling. However, judging from this photo, Lao Zhao believes this kids' room has at least three problems.

1. Air Conditioner Location

The air conditioner in this children's room is located in the original building's designated spot, right at the corner of the second floor. This is inconvenient to use, and the temperature on the second floor is significantly lower than on the first. A ducted air conditioner could easily be installed above the bedroom door, freeing up the corner space and making it much more convenient.

2. Column Material

The large column is painted with latex paint and has four right angles, making it easily damaged. It would be much better to cover it with wainscoting in a different color; this would both decorate the space and prevent damage.

3. Plain Walls

The walls and ceiling of this children's room are white, making it too plain and lacking a lively feel. Adding some color to the walls would improve the effect.

Case Study 2: Tatami Children's Room

This children's room has windows on two walls, which is relatively uncommon. For storage and multi-functionality, a lot of custom-made furniture was used throughout the house, including a tatami mat. While the functionality was met, Lao Zhao (Old Zhao) feels that too much custom-made furniture significantly reduces its environmental friendliness!

Case 3: Bunk Bed Children's Room

This is also a bunk bed children's room, and it also uses a lot of custom-made furniture. However, judging from the reflection, this furniture appears to be made of lacquered material, which is relatively more environmentally friendly, but Lao Zhao wouldn't use it.

Case 4: A Children's Room with a Nice Color Scheme

Lao Zhao likes this children's room. There's little furniture, mainly solid wood, and the overall color scheme is very comfortable and warm. The room isn't large, but it doesn't feel cramped. When the child starts school, they can simply replace the small cabinet with a desk. Finally, it must be said that the color scheme is truly lovely!

Case 5: A Children's Room That Will Need Major Remodeling Later

Judging from the little boy's expression, he's really excited about the slide. His childhood is going to be wonderful. This children's room doesn't have many custom-made items; it's mainly for play. The only problem is that it will need major renovations after the child starts school.

Case 6: A Children's Room for Fostering Courage

This dad is unconventional and doesn't follow the usual path. This baby will definitely grow up to be a strong man.

The only thing that bothers Mr. Zhao about this children's room is the dark color of the curtains. As the child grows up, he can simply remove the exercise equipment and replace it with ready-made solid wood furniture.

Case 7: A Children's Room with Soft Colors

This is also a very loving children's room! A playmat protects the infant from injury. This children's room is especially suitable for children under 6 years old. Everything is at a height they can easily reach. The overall color scheme is very soft and comfortable. When the child grows up, a new set of furniture can be used.

Case 8: An Interesting Solid Wood Bed

The same style of bed, but different widths and designs, suit different sized bedrooms, perfectly satisfying children's playful and adventurous nature.

Case 9: A Children's Room with a Swing

This children's room is impressive and spacious. The solid wood bunk bed is wide enough, and there's a dedicated play area and storage space. Even more amazing is the swing! This surpasses 99.99% of children's rooms and is definitely the coolest one in the neighborhood.

Case 10: A Small but Heartwarming Children's Room

This children's room perfectly suits Mr. Zhao's taste. The reason is simple: it meets all his requirements for a children's room. For example, the blue accents are not too bright; this muted gray-blue is very calming and comfortable. The solid wood furniture throughout is environmentally friendly. The various child-friendly shelves and decorations on the walls add a nice touch and prevent the room from looking monotonous. The use of natural wood tones makes the room warm and comfortable. This case is worth learning from.

In summary: decorating a child's room is crucial. It should be fun for children, environmentally friendly, and suitable for future upgrades. Therefore, Lao Zhao suggests that children's room furniture should be made primarily of solid wood, with minimal customization, and neutral colors should be used as much as possible, avoiding bright colors such as pink, purple, and blue.
