5 bedroom ideas to make everyone happy
When it comes to designing the children’s bedrooms there are always obstacles to overcome. For me, as a parent, it is important to have something practical which will grow with my child and for them it’s all about bright colours, cartoon characters and more sparkle than you can possible imagine! And as much as I like to humour the girls love of unicorns, or Harry’s obsession with Paw Patrol, when it comes to my home I’m really rather a fan of a more neutral colour scheme.
For that reason I’ve been coming up with five stylish bedroom ideas to make both me and the kids happy!
Sleepover Savvy
When we moved into our new house my girls were desperate to share a bedroom and yet I was a little worried about how it would go. Would they keep each other awake at night? Would the room be too cramped with two beds? It turns out the bunk beds were the perfect answer, saved space and actually, the girls lie in bed chatting on a weekend instead of waking us! Bonus!
Pillow Aplenty
If there’s one thing my children love it’s pillows and cushions, and they are a great way of accessorising a room. Letting your child pick out some pillows is always a fun way of allowing your child to get involved in the design process and, believe me, my children are pretty much experts on the best den building cushions out there! With clutter pillows available in all different shapes, sizes and colours, you can really allow your child to put their stamp on a room.
Sorted with Storage
Before designing a new bedroom for the children I always try and have a huge clear out of their toys, all of which they suddenly decide are their absolute favourite and they can’t bear to part with! If you’re struggling to find extra floor space for storage furniture, then a midsleeper or cabin bed is a great space saving solution. Designed to keep clutter at bay, midsleeper and cabin beds can include freestanding storage drawers, bookcases and even desks.
Beautiful Bookcases
My children love to read and I’ve lost count of the number of books we have! Bookshelves are a great way to store the children’s favourite and most treasured books, but also super handy to store other bits and pieces too. Take advantage of all the shelves and store something different on each shelf, this could include photo albums, trinkets and soft toys.
Fun accessorises
One way to keep the children sweet is to allow them to choose some really fun and exciting accessories in their bedroom. This could be anything from large cuddly toys, bed canopies, play mats or gorgeous teepees.
We love Ollie and Leila for everything from children’s beds, furniture, accessories and soft furnishings. I’m hoping that taking these tips on board will make our next bedroom renovation a little easier!!

These design ideas are so cute and so nice. I know I am too old for this but I actually want a room like this myself! Thanks for sharing these ideas they all look lovely!
You’re never too old for bunk beds are you? Haha! xx
The idea of having bed canopie is amazing . I would want one in my bedroom.
Me too! Thank you for reading; xx
Oh how cute is that teepee. Am I too old for one at the age of 25? I don’t think so. Imagine just hiding in there with a nice brew and a good book. It’s going on my to do list
Hahah I woud hide out in there from the kids! They are so much fun! xx
The idea of having bed canopie is amazing . It gives a boho look to the bedroom . I would want one in my bedroom too. And clouds on the walls looks super cute.
Yes I love bed canopies, I really want one for our bed too! xx
Awesome! My girlfriend absolutely loves home decor stuff. This is exactly the kind of stuff she freaks out about. Bet gift giving is gonna be much easier this year 🙂
Wow, I really like the first one, It has more space on the one sleeping underneath. And the ladder book case, it’s really cute. I’ve wanted that one but still looking for something that’s perfect in my room 🙂
Yes those beds are great for siblings or even for sleepovers!
These look great. I love interior design, and white space is something I love too. I would really like to have a ladder book case! It looks great 🙂

I love the ladder bookcases, they are so multipurpose too! xx
Ahhh! I wish I have bigger house!! Right now we live in a tiny house but in near future with big house I would definitely would love to decor each rooms! I love those little tent and wood rack with deep blue wall color! It looks clean and organized 🙂
It’s difficult with smaller spaces but there are still lots of things you can do to make the children’s bedrooms practical but appealing. xx
My daughter is starting school and your desk idea has just jumped out at me! I love it… now to just sort out where I can find the bits and bobs I need near me.
Haha yes there are so many bits and bobs too aren’t there? xx
You have definitely included some great design options here. Anything to maximize the space and minimize clutter and mess is the way to go. When it comes to decorating, I love the idea of including input from the children as they feel more ownership of the outcome and overall appearance.
Yes I think children should have some input, it’s easy for us grown ups to take over! xx
I can’t wait for my boys to be old enough to have bunk beds and things like that. It’s so cute!!
My girls are obsessed with their bunk beds! xx
I love the sorted with storage idea. Looks really beautiful. Decorating this summer so will definitely come back to this post.
Ah that’s great thank you! xx
Oh wow these would have been so fantastic growing up. I especially love the bookcases since I’ve always been a bookworm. I love those bunk beds that have a desk underneath because they save on space.
Me too! I had a cabin bed with a desk underneath, I loved it! xx
I am typical beautiful bookcases person. I need everything to be in place and organised. Loved the ideas of parted shelves.
Me too, and with kids it’s important to be organised! xx
Thank you sharing these amazing tips! I love the idea about bookcases. I just realized we don’t have one in our bedroom
Thank you for reading. xx
I love these bedroom ideas! They are fun, cute and best of all practical!
Yes I love that they suit both parents and children! xx
Lovely decor! I loved my bunk bed when I was little and had so much room
Those are such cute furnishings they have there. I can see why you like it so much. I agree with the pillows and needing lots of them for overnight guests and such. It helps to be prepared with them
