Designing a child’s room is akin to creating a miniature universe. It’s a space where imagination takes flight, dreams are nurtured, and personalities blossom. It’s more than just a bedroom; it’s a portal to endless possibilities. As the best home interior designers of Hyderabad, we at Infinity and Beyond believe that every child deserves a room that reflects their unique spirit and inspires their creativity.
Understanding the Little Astronaut
Before we embark on this journey, let’s understand our little astronauts. Every child is a universe in itself, brimming with curiosity and energy. Therefore, their room should be a reflection of their interests, personality, and age.
Age
The design aesthetic drastically changes from a toddler’s room filled with playful colours and soft textures to a pre-teen’s room that blends fun with functionality.
For example, we had to design a home for baby girl Samhita, the daughter of Gowri Shankar, who was less than 2 years old. Here we opted for soft plush tones with shades of baby pink. We built a play corner with a long mirror and storage for her to play and grow. The entire room was designed to incorporate everything she wanted and also had enough storage space.
Interests
Is your child a budding artist, a space explorer, or a nature lover? Incorporate their passions into the room’s theme. At Infinity and Beyond we love to design a room that speaks to your child’s dream.
For instance, our client Amritava’s son Advit is obsessed with Lego and we designed these Lego themed shelves where he can display his toys. This study corner also has drawers for extra storage. He was keen on displaying all his toy vehicles, his prized possessions!
Abiding by his desires, we created a little sanctuary for all his books and toys based on Lego. We made sure that there was space for everything, including family photos. We also provided long built-in cupboards to offer more storage space for clothes and all other essentials.
Personality
A shy child might prefer a calm and soothing space, while an extrovert might thrive in a vibrant and stimulating environment. This can be well incorporated with the right paint colour, furniture, and accessories.
Creating a Cosmic Canvas
Now, let’s transform that blank canvas into a celestial wonderland.
Colour Palette
Colours are the building blocks of a room. Opt for soft pastels for younger children and bolder hues for older kids. Remember, colours can evoke emotions. Blues and greens are calming, while reds and oranges stimulate energy.
Theme
Whether it’s a whimsical jungle, a magical underwater world, or a futuristic space odyssey, a theme can unify the design. However, avoid overwhelming the space with too many details.
Furniture
Choose furniture that is not just functional but also fun and safe. Look for pieces with rounded edges and sturdy construction. Storage is key, so opt for furniture with built-in storage solutions.
Lighting the Way
Lighting plays a crucial role in creating the desired ambiance. Maximize natural light by using sheer curtains or blinds. Incorporate a mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting. Dimmable lights are also ideal for creating different moods.
Safety & Creativity
While creating a magical space, safety is always our first priority. We understand how precious children are. Hence, we prioritise safety along with creativity. Here is how we do it:
- Non-toxic Paints: We opt for paints with low VOCs.
- Creative Wallpapers: We will create captivating ceilings using innovative designer wallpaper or install false ceilings adorned with twinkling starry lights.
- Soft Edges: We use flooring materials appropriate for children and ensure that there are no sharp edges to avoid accidents.
Building Kid’s Haven
A child’s room should reflect their personality. Therefore, do not shy away from displaying their achievements, art, and crafts in your home! When we make special space for their favourite toys, artwork, and cute innovations, we are reassuring them of their value and thereby increasing their self-confidence.
Remember, the perfect kids’ room evolves with the child. It should be revisited and updated as they grow and their interests change. By following these guidelines and infusing your creativity, you can create a magical haven where your child can learn, play, and dream.
At Infinity and Beyond, our home interior designers are passionate about creating spaces that inspire. We believe that every child deserves a room that feels like a personal universe, a place where they can explore their imagination and feel truly at home. Let us help you design a kids’ room that will be cherished for years. Let’s catch up soon for a free consultation!
