You want to be the best parent possible and always put your child’s best interests first. That means putting the emphasis on quality so that you know they have well-made toys, furniture, and other items. This philosophy extends to your toddler’s bedroom, especially as the choices you make have the potential to enhance their sleep quality. If you’re thinking of ways to create a more luxurious bedroom for them but aren’t sure quite where to start, these tips will inspire you.
1. A Vintage Look for Their Bedroom
Go vintage throughout your home to add sophistication, including in your child’s room, whether you bring in a designer to create the look you want or style the area yourself. For example, you might choose a distressed bed frame that is suitable for the kids mattress.
Other ways to incorporate the charm of decades past into the room are with a velvet armchair and heirloom furniture (provided they have rounded edges). These pieces add a cozy vibe in addition to the vintage look.
The retro vibe is also achievable with wall decals and special framed artwork. Perhaps you frame kids’ flashcards you found at a local thrift store that dates back to the 80s or 90s, for example. Then, add luxurious touches, such as a pendant light with polished brass accents.
2. An Ivory and Taupe Theme
These neutral colors are very calming, making them a great choice for any bedroom, including your toddler’s. The relaxed yet chic look begins with painting the walls in either of those shades. Next, extend that color palette to the rest of the room, from furniture to rugs and bedding.
Choose soft, cozy textures for the rugs and blankets, too. Luxurious textures include soft wool, provided, of course, that your little one isn’t allergic to.
Overall, this look is minimalistic and clean, fitting the latest interior design trends. The dreamy appearance of this room can help your child relax and drift off to sleep after you read them a bedtime story.
The final touch is putting up sheer curtains if the room has a window. That helps the light stream in, picking up the beautiful details of any child-friendly decor you’ve added to the space.
3. Create a Montessori-Inspired Room
Encouraging your child to play is important, whether they are a baby, toddler, or older. Doing so helps them use their imagination, have fun, and get active, all of which are important during developmental years.
With that in mind, you might create a bedroom focusing on the Montessori method. With an emphasis on independence, while ensuring their safety, this style of the room helps them learn through play.
For example, you might set up a toddler-friendly reading corner in the room. Face each book’s front cover forward in a basket or low shelf so that your child can easily see which book is which and pick the one they want.
Regarding toys, keep them off the bed when it’s time for them to sleep. This tip can prevent your 2 year old waking up at night and playing with their favorite doll. Preventing sleep problems is easier when you know when and why it’s happening, as well as possible solutions.
4. Bring the Elements of Nature Inside
If your kids love to play outside, an outdoorsy theme can be perfect for their bedroom. That doesn’t mean it will be humble design-wise, of course, as you can blend nature with elegance with a bit of planning and inspiration.
The key is adding several different textures and creative pieces to make a calming space reminiscent of Mother Nature. A hand-carved toddler bed frame is a great example, making sure, of course, that it is safe and provides enough support for the kids mattress.
Add breathable bedding in earth tones, such as green and brown, and carry those colors through to the walls of the room. You can go even further with this theme, if you want, by adding forest scenes to the walls that feature your child’s favorite animals, as well as bushes, trees, and flowers.
Complete the look of their room with a few more things, such as adding matching plush wool rugs and a child-safe plant. The final touch involves tech: Add a nature-sound machine for them to listen to at night to help them fall asleep.
5. Stars Theme for Your Child’s Bedroom
If your little one loves looking up at the sky, channel that joy into their room’s decor with a soothing starry theme. A high-tech option is to add a fiber-optic starlit ceiling. That can look like the night sky when the lights are out.
Another idea is to add a moon lamp with soft lighting and dimmable settings. As parents, you can adjust it for play, sleep, and reading time. Choose a cordless option so there aren’t dangerous cords in your kid’s room. This accessory is functional and also helps your child learn more about astronomy.
To finish the room, add a pair of moon and star pillows to the bed. A final classy idea is adding a luxurious-feeling carpet in dark blue to symbolize the night sky.
