The Practice of a Kid's Bedroom
It’s important to cater a kid's bedroom to their taste. That room is their sanctuary, a place to work, a place to hang out with friends, and most importantly, a place where they can be themselves. A kid's bedroom does not have to replicate the inside of a jungle gym because they need to grow alongside their bedding and furniture. Build a foundation of nurture where children can be the best kid and turn into well-adjusted individuals.
Here are some typical features of a kid's bedroom:
- Colorful bedding and decor for emotional and cognitive development
- Decorative pillows to build up that plush comfort
- Many organizational sleeves and bins to organize kids’ lifestyles
- Fabrics that are easy to wash because accidents happen
- Space for activities
At its core, a kid's bedroom is about layering various aspects of style. The first step is starting with a casual and classic bed frame, and enhance the look with some colorful bedding. As children journey throughout their phases, watch how their bedrooms transform with the band posters, bookshelves, and memorabilia. Rather than following a trend and going all out for a kid's bedroom, begin with a more subtle touch to allow the kids to grow into themselves.

Let's Start From the Bottom
Framing Your Bed for a Better Night's Sleep
A common misconception is that bed frames are not necessary, but that is certainly not true. Start by setting your child up for success. Provide support for the bed and your child by establishing an essential infrastructure in a kid's bedroom: the bed frame.
It keeps everything together for a good night of rest and relaxation in a kid's bedroom. As growing kids require about ten or more hours of sleep, it’s imperative that they can fall into one place that is dependable for that much needed slumber.
The Shell Bed Frame offers a soft and playful look that is sure to pair well with various themes and aesthetics in a kid's bedroom with its curing and ergonomic features.
The extra structure invites more surface area in a kid's bedroom. Instead of thinking of bed frames as big and clunky, try to utilize them for extra shelf space. We, at Ever Lasting, like to use the headboard to our advantage, this includes a kid's bedroom. Whether it be placing your stuffed animal collection or using it as a bookshelf, the headboard provides an additional ledge to help decorate a kid's bedroom to their liking.

Building on the Bedroom Basics
Colors introduces contrast in a kid's bedroom by adding a pop of something different. This is where your child can play with what they like. Where some colors—like pastels—add lightness, others can bring some refreshing muted darkness to the kid's bedroom. For example, if a kid's bedroom is a beautifully painted mint green with a floral theme, a nice brown bedding sheet may bring out the nature vibe and celebrate the aesthetic with a complimentary color.
In a kid's bedroom, the colors and bedding preferences are ultimately up to what they feel comfortable in. A kid's bedroom is a place of calm where they can find release after a stressful day, or even feel good to celebrate after a particularly great afternoon. Even if your child is obsessed with blue and wants it all over, it’s up to them to decide who they are. Colors in a kid's bedroom are representative of different feelings and can be indicators of who your child grows to be.
Let your child choose how they want to present their room. If they want the walls to shout, let the warm brown tones of the Latte Bedding Set/Brown whisper and pull everything together in a kid's bedroom.
It’s important to choose patterns that are going to grow with your child. In a kid's bedroom, as they cycle their likes and dislikes, and go through phases, they’re going to grow out of certain bedding choices. Pick bedding that will not tire easily in a kid's bedroom by being overstimuliating. By choosing bedding that will last, they become investment pieces to take with them as they age.

Accessorizing the Bedding: Creating a Lifestyle for the Kid's Bedroom
Pillows can add texture to a kid's bedroom. The patterns augment to the style and the aesthetic of the bedroom. Each new item in the kid's bedroom and on the bed is an additional layer that can be customizable toward a child’s upbringing. Gingham and stripes on pillowcases can be a cool statement piece that brings smooth, strong comfort. Frills and Lace can also take part in a cottage core or vintage aesthetic. Plain colored pillows usher in a serene and consistent space in a kid's bedroom.
The Silky Ruffle Pillowcases introduces peace and warmth while maintaining an elegant, moody aesthetic.
Furthermore, the spectacle of a kid's bedroom flows with the assistance of a throw or a blanket. A good quality blanket will add texture to the bed, but also serve as something your child can play around with when decorating a kid's bedroom. The colors can add on to the bedding and complement each other. Additionally, if the blanket is furrier, it may suit children that love animals. Thinner throws may be used as drapes or for creating a fort in a kid's bedroom. By creating a space that is full of safety and is reassuring, a kid's bedroom will be more inviting to the child and allow them to play and develop their sense of style.
Discover our Blanket & Throws collection, where warmth and texture meet to create a an experience that is both grounding and restful.

Beyond the Bed
Making Routines and Making Life Easy with Organizers
The kid's bedroom is not complete without a few organizational tools. Children are known to be messy. When they are younger, a kid's bedroom might have toys strewn everywhere and maybe a few picture books. Start the ritual of cleaning and keeping a serene space by using different storage products. They grow with the discipline of cleaning after themselves and keeping a clear space in a kid's bedroom. As they mature, their hobbies will change and the toys might turn into textbooks, yarn, DVDs. For whoever they become, they will remember their childhood bedroom as a room of tranquility and have a reminder of how far they’ve come.
Storage such as the Large Linen Storage Bags can be easily placed under beds, in closets, and in drawers to keep items out of sight to free a kid's bedroom for a place of calm.
The more storage the merrier. As a child grows, so do their things. A kid's bedroom is filled with all their wishes, wants, and desires. They may have clothes stuffed in the closet. Notebooks all over the table. Figures and plushes around the room. Yet, children still have to find the room to express theirselves and go about their day to day tasks within the confines of their bedroom.
