Bedroom 101: How To Create Individual Spaces For Your Kids That Still Suit Your Overall Home Design

Moving into your forever home or upsizing for the kids to each have a room is one of the most exciting times for our clients. When choosing a new Swanbuild home with the Life Made or Sustainable Living packages you have the option to tailor your home to suit your lifestyle and your tastes. 

Interior colours, flooring, benchtops, handles and tiles are just some of the ways you can add your own style and make the home your own, but when it comes to kids' bedrooms, their tastes and needs can change almost weekly! So read below as we break down some of the easiest ways to create the perfect personalised bedroom space for your young ones that can be easily updated and won't break the bank.

Statement Bedding

It's probably the easiest thing to change, and visually it’s the most striking, capturing your attention. If a real-life race car bed is out of the budget, we recommend sticking to neutral bedframes that can last, but choosing a statement bedspread. The good thing about a colourful bedspread is that it's a great way to inject colour into your room without having to paint the walls, and better still it can easily be updated.

Framed Posters And Prints

Choosing colourful posters and prints is a fun way to let your young ones decide how to decorate their space. You can pick up poster frames from K-Mart and Big W for reasonable prices and either find some great prints online or get out the butcher's paper and paint and let the kids have a go at creating their own.

Durable Rugs

A rug in a kid's room is a must. Again, you can let your child choose the colour and pattern to make the space their own, and they are great for protecting the carpet from spills and stains. Choose a material that works best for your needs. Cotton is affordable and durable, wool is super soft and great for allergies, and machine-washable rugs are perfect for young ones as they are easy to clean.
