It is such a pity for kids who have no option to play inside the house especially on rainy days or even before going to bed. The living room is certainly not the best idea to transform it into a play area when you have breakable decors. Not to mention the clutter they can create around the house. It would be a strain for working moms to deal with a lot of cleaning and de-cluttering  after kids have gone tired of playing. It would be practical to confine the kids play area in their own room. At least, with the idea, you would only get to deal with one small area to clean with.

 You can use more floor space if you try to explore the options for a free space. And one of the most economical solutions to maximize that very small space are bunk beds. This is also very ideal for kids sharing a room.  Stylish bunk beds are now available both online and in local stores.  There is a wide selection of bunk beds from different makes and brands and I am pretty confident that you would be able to find something that would suit your kids' room. Kids would love the idea of having a bunk bed because of the adventure it can bring them. How they love to scramble up and down and transform them into their own little house. Moreover, with more free space, kids can invite a friend overnight. I guess, as parents, we would rather have a friend of our kids to sleep over than our kids spending overnight in another house.

One important thing you need to consider is to select a bunk bed with guard rails. It must be there on all sides and firmly attached to the bed frame to secure the safety of your kids when they are asleep. Make sure that you measure the height of the guard rails, at least, five inches above the mattress to prevent the child from rolling off. Moreover, the bed size must depend on the number of kids and how much space is available in the room.

Another space solution the bunk bed can offer is the extra storage you can find under it. There are bunk beds with built-in study table and bookshelves too. Is it not a great space saving solution?

A bed with under storage is ideal for small bedrooms. The drawers can provide additional storage for the linens, pillow cases, towels or clothes. Select a bed that is manufactured in its simplest design and nothing elaborate. A natural finish would look good in any room because of its neutrality in color. Your child will surely not outgrow this type of bed because of its simplicity in design.

 A simple night stand can be added without occupying too much space of the room. This can also provide additional storage for books or toys and other items your child own. Night stands can match the finish of the bed but may not be limited to it. You can probably get colored ones to accentuate the bed. Whatever your preference is, just make sure that this will match one of the colors of the printed bedding, pillow case or your window treatment to create a sense of unity inside the room.

For me, a chest is another essential add on. Most small houses have a limited built in closet. Additional drawers can certainly make room for all the clothes your child have. If you intend to get one like this, I would suggest to get something that would match the framing of the bed. It is always best for small rooms to have one color of furniture to group them for a unified look.

Decorating a child's room is a lot of fun. These timeless suggestions can surely carry any age of your child. Be cautious in selecting your wall paint. Should you wish to have a colored wall, you can do so provided that the shade must be in the lighter tone. Something dark will make the room appear smaller. Window treatments may be of the same color as the walls. It can be on the lighter or darker shade. Again, not too dark but just a bit darker than the walls. If you are considering something printed, select the ones with small prints and nothing bold.

Opt for blankets, pillows and comforters that can reflect the age of the occupant. Your child will surely enjoy the atmosphere it can create. It can make play time and bonding  moment with your child a lot of fun.  For younger ones, you can get those with cute cartoon character inspired collection set. There are a lot to chose from in the market today. Toys and other kid's accessories can make the room more interesting.

Remember, there are no hard rules in decorating a child's room. Sometimes, just the accessories alone can make a lot of difference to the kind of atmosphere you wish to create for your child. Create a theme out of your child's favorite cartoon character or interest.
