Kids Room Essentials

Two things I learned quickly as a mom – design the space to make it fun AND functional.

Here are a few of my favourite things:

1. Colour – it needs to feel good. Chet loves colours that are vibrant, youthful and happy.
2. Comfort – it’s amazing how comfort trumps all, especially for kids. Adding a bean bag chair was a game changer, and a good comfy place to read books.
3. Function – there are so many products on the market making it easy to overbuy. Keep it simple and buy what you need.
4. Pop – there needs to be some fun around here. The artwork, lights, decor, throw pillows, books and toys add a little sparkle to the room making it feel really happy.
5. Simplicity – Keep it simple and costs low. You can always add later. Facebook marketplace is your best friend.

It’s really important to create a space that makes your kids feel good. After all, it will be their special place.

Everyone has different tastes and needs. Take time to set up the space special for you.
