Kids Bedroom Styling Ideas by Slowdown Studio

Overwhelmed how to turn your kids bedroom into something that's fun, colorful and stylish?

Let the Room Reflect Their Personality

Forget Pinterest-perfect; the best kids bedroom design starts with who they are. Whether it’s a boys bedroom decked in dinosaurs or a girls bedroom full of sparkle and soft textures, a child's space should celebrate their individuality. Think of the room as a blank canvas for their imagination to run wild.

Our advice? Get them involved. Let them pick a colour scheme, a poster, or their favorite decorative pieces. Collaboration brings magic and a lot fewer design regrets.

Choose Furniture That Grows With Them

From toddlers to teens, bedroom needs change fast. Opt for functional pieces like trundle beds or bunk beds, which offer flexibility as kids grow or if you're styling a shared kids bedroom. Our favorite kind of furniture? Pieces that earn their keep and keep their charm.

Layer in storage-smart accents like a fun chest of drawers or bedside table that hides away toys while keeping bedtime books on deck.

Create a Cosy Reading Nook

Every beautiful bedroom needs a calm corner. Add a beanbag, floor cushion, or even a small tent to carve out a cosy reading nook. Then top it with one of our baby blankets for comfort that doesn’t skimp on style.

Our baby collection features modern, graphic designs perfect for snuggling—and bonus, they look adorable folded at the foot of a bed.

Use Bold Colors Like a Pro

Say goodbye to beige. A fun bedroom deserves some pops of colour. Try painting the biggest wall a statement hue or incorporate bright colors through artwork, rugs, or Slowdown Studio throw pillows. These small accents go a long way in tying together your color palette and giving the space a sense of cohesive creativity.

Don’t Forget the Playful Details

From quirky hooks to funky knobs on a chest of drawers, let the playful elements shine. Our home accessories offer plenty of fun space enhancers, from artful wall hangings to sculptural pieces that feel less like decor and more like imagination fuel.

Layer in Texture for Depth

A great bedroom design isn’t just about looks - it’s about feeling. Think layered bedding, shaggy rugs, and knit blankets that beg to be touched. Our baby blankets double as texture-rich accents and practical warmers.

You could also mix materials: wooden shelves, soft cotton bedding, a metal lamp. Texture invites warmth and movement into even the smallest childrens bedroom.

Make It Easy to Keep Tidy

Let’s be honest: mess happens. So your design elements should help keep chaos in check. Storage bins under bunk beds, low hooks for costumes, and labeled drawers make it easier for kids to participate in keeping their adorable bedroom clean. (In theory, anyway.)

Think in Zones

Breaking the room into zones can help you balance fun and function. A bedroom for kids can house a sleep zone, a study zone, and a play zone without feeling cramped.

Each zone gets its own personality, whether it's a playful space filled with building blocks or a focused nook with just a lamp and trundle bed.

Add Whimsy With Art and Wallpaper

Bring on the fun wallpaper, playful prints, or a mural that turns walls into stories. Art is a non-permanent way to update a kids bedroom as tastes change—plus, it instantly adds charm and character.

Pick pieces that align with your color scheme or go wild with mismatched frames and design ideas that break all the rules.

Keep the Dream Alive

At the end of the day, a kids bedroom should feel like a space built for childhood dreams. It should be a place where bedtime means storytelling, mornings mean dancing, and there's always room for a new adventure.

Whether you’re creating an adventurous bedroom in a Coastal Beach House or styling a snug city nook, choose pieces that bring a smile and inspire wonder.

From trundle beds to Slowdown's design-forward throw pillows, each piece of furniture and decor choice should lean into the joy of being little.
