Children's bedroom ideas for every age

Seaside theme children's room

Using a seaside theme instantly provides a cohesive look for a child's bedroom. Matching the curtains, bedding, cushions and accessories stops the bold pattern from becoming chaotic. This is the perfect look for kids age 6 -10.

Quirky children's bed

For teens' rooms with limited space, doubling up the bed as a comfy sofa area during the day is ideal. Pretty sheer floral fabric hangs over the colourful day bed, laced with vibrant cushions in blue, pink and purple. A bright blue curtain design adds more colour into the scheme, as well as a sense of fun.

Pink bedroom

Pink gingham bedlinen, cushions and an upholstered chair are combined with painted white furniture for a classic girl's bedroom look that's full of charm, perfect for young girls. Tongue-and-groove panelling gives the room a country feel, while decorative accessories add interest to the plain walls.

Use sisal flooring

Transform a teenage girl's bedroom in 5 steps - Part 2

Split work and play

Teens, much as they hate to admit it, need somewhere to study. Help her keep make-up and clutter away from the ‘work zone’ with two desks — one acts as a dressing table, while one is kitted out for homework. Make sure she has a good task light and adjustable blinds at the windows to stop glare on the computer screen.

Add clever storage

Girls come with a lot of stuff, so fitting as much storage into the space as you can is essential. Shelves behind the bed double as a bedside table and provide room for books and CDs. If it’s time for a new bed, buy a divan with storage drawers under it.

Accessorise cheaply

Go for budget accessories that you won’t mind giving to charity shops when she wants a new theme for the room. Keep the look classy by sticking to a simple colour palette, such as greys and hot pink, so the room exudes city chic, not tourist tat.

Teenage girl's bedroom

There comes a time in every girl's life when the fairy theme is so last year and a more sophisticated and cool teenage look is wanted. Follow these steps to create both a stylish, and practical bedroom for your teenage girl. 

Pick a grown-up theme

She may have grown out of the pink fairy look, but that doesn’t mean your daughter is ready for boring beige. Go for a pictorial wallpaper — this design features icons from the world’s most famous cities and is not only on trend, but subtle enough not to dominate the room.

Make a statement

The bold, easy-on-easy-off stickers on the wardrobe doors neatly tie this scheme together. But they’re also a great no-effort way of adding a point of interest to a room — particularly if your daughter is likely to keep changing her mind.

Children's rooms - best of 2011 - Part 3

Boys' bedrooom with bunk beds

Small bedrooms benefit from clever storage and bunk beds, like in this boys' bedroom. The white, wipe-clean furniture and storage space help to clear the clutter and keep the room clean - great if your kids are really young.

Children's room with zones

Zoning-out a room creates the illusion of more space. Here, the study area is a stimulating orange, and the sleeping area is a calming pale grey. With a subtle change of colour this bedroom design would work for boys as well as girls.

Unisex children's twin bedroom

When children are young it doesn't matter too much whether their bedroom is 'girl' or 'boy', so a white colour scheme with a bright pop of colour, such as these vibrant teal walls, is perfect. Putting the two beds along one wall with a dressing table in the middle and cupboards above the bed makes the most of storage space.

Girl's attic bedroom

White walls and coir flooring keep this attic bedroom light and airy. Fun circular stencils on the wall add a bit of colour and are easy to paint over. The mixture of furniture styles, pattens and colours add to the fun style and mean it's an easy bedroom to update with a lick of paint and some new accessories.

Girl's Parisienne bedroom

Ooh la la! We love this Parisienne themed girls' room. It's a great idea for a teenage girl, as it's a scheme that has longevity. Plus, the monochrome wallpaper means it's easy to update the room with a new colour scheme using just accent colours.

Children's eclectic bedroom and playroom

When space is at a premium and you want to keep the house as tidy as possible, a children's bedroom that encompases a play area is really useful. This bed has fun storage and a play zone underneath.

Girl's vintage bedroom

Pink and fluffy is what girls often ask for when it comes to bedroom style, but this room is a great take on modern vintage, while still remaining girly. A statement floral wall, combined with natural wood flooring, means this room is a versatile canvas that can be adapted as she gets older.

Children's rooms - best of 2011

Boy's nautical bedroom

Nautical is a popular theme for young boys, but it can be easily overdone. This nautical boy's bedroom is perfect. Red accessories are a great way to offset the blue walls. The matching quilt cover and curtains get the balance just right.

Girl's neutral floral bedroom

This beautiful floral room could double as a guest bedroom, and can be easily updated as your child gets older. The bold floral wallpaper makes a statement without overpowering the style of the bedroom. The draped white canopy softens the look of the four-poster bed and the textured soft furnishings add a touch of cosiness.

Map wallpaper boy's bedroom
Make statement in your boy's bedroom with this amazing map of the world wallpaper. The room doesn't need much more, just simple white furniture. The dark blue wall pulls out the blue in the map, and the red and Union Jack accessories brighten up the room.

Kids country bedrooms - Part 3

Organise clothes

A dedicated country-look children's wardrobe with drawers and hanging space will take care of school and play clothes. Consider labelling the drawers with stencils or stickers to encourage kids to tidy up.

Create hanging space

A white-painted shelf with pegs is ideal for hanging up fabric shoe bags, nighties or pyjamas. Invest in a set of mini nesting suitcases, fun for play and ideal for storing trinkets.

Pick the blues

Opt for a fresh blue and white scheme. In a room that's predominantly white, the sky blue table, chair and mirror stand out, while a starry rug adds pattern. Finish the scheme with blue and white bedlinen.

Maximise the light

Give a loft room a classic country feel with a wrought-iron bedstead tucked under the eaves. Keep the furnishings simple and dress the window with a curtain hung from a dormer rod.
