“Don’t have anything in your house that you don’t know is useful or don’t think pretty”. William Morris 1880
Creating a nice room for your child will pique their interest. It will spark their imagination and give them a sense of pride and ownership in their space. Practical pieces make life easier for everyone, especially our parents! They allow the space to be adjusted and improve safety as the child grows.
Invest in Full-Size Furniture to Last Longer
Investing in simple, full-size furniture in neutral colors or natural materials can ensure that these items will remain useful for years to come. They will provide a neutral background that can then adapt to changes in color schemes and accessories as the child’s tastes change.
This can be seen in these two images, where a simple nursery was created using the same furniture, and then a slightly larger children’s room was created. Simply add different accessories and colors to completely change the overall look of the room to reflect your child’s personality and stage of development.
Books and Toys Can Be Used to Create Character in a Room
Books and toys are essential for a child’s Xi and development. However, they can also be displayed in a children’s room to create a beautiful focal point, adding texture, interest, and color.
Practical Items Can Be Stored Within Reach but out of Sight
Obviously, there are some things that your baby or child needs that don’t look too cute, such as diapers and baby wipes. However, with a little planning, items that are less aesthetically pleasing, but more useful, can be cleverly stored or hidden at hand. For example, a drawer under a diaper pad or a basket on or above the changing table to ensure an overall look that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
It is beneficial to expose children to good design from an early age. Cultivating a love of fun, well-crafted pieces, especially those with sustainability and durability in mind, promises to give them a lifelong passion that will accompany them as they grow into adulthood. It will ensure that your child’s space blends easily with the rest of the modern family home. It is also more economical to invest in beautiful furniture for your child’s growth in the long run, as they will remain in your child’s room for years to come. I think it’s important to encourage and educate kids to buy things that last and work to reduce the disposable culture that has developed in recent years. So as to protect the world for the future of our children.
