Home Living | 10 Cute Ideas for Children's Room

For Christmas this year, we hope to kick Lil Pumpkin out of our room create a special place for Lil Pumpkin to rest, learn and play. It's going to be tough since she has been co-sleeping with us since birth but I reckon that if we have an inviting room that she loves to spend time in, half the battle is won.

And yes, we are thinking about Christmas now in mid-October. It might seem it's too early, but hey, the boy has put me to shame since he bought my Christmas present already. Like 2 weeks back {eeekss}!

Anyway, this project needs time to work on so better to get down to it. Actually I'm kind of worried we may not have it ready by Christmas (>w<)" Ahh well, we'll see how it goes. At least I've some cute inspirations for decorating her room, which I hope might help inspire you when thinking about your kids' spaces too!

1. Feature Furniture

Not intending to have too many tables and chairs in her room because of the limited space, but we need some feature furniture, like this yarn bomb chair! Fun and funky!

2. Stuffed Toys Storage

Lil Pumpkin is quite an animal lover and I think instead of the usual storing of toys in boxes or displaying toys on shelves, this is a cute idea for keeping the stuffed animals. Also consider putting them in trash bins or as stuffing for bean bags.

3. Reading Nook

Reading is one of Lil Pumpkin's fave activities too. She has a comfortable reading nook in our room now, but I want to transfer it to her new bedroom and perhaps decorate the wall around it with framed covers of book she likes.

4. Wall Decoration

Absolutely adore this alphabet wall decoration, especially when each alphabet is such an eclectic piece. It will be fun collecting all the different pieces and telling Lil Pumpkin about the story behind each one!

5. Children's Swing

Since young, I've always wanted a tree house. Probably not gonna happen when we stay in Singapore, but I guess the best we can do is to get Lil Pumpkin a swing attached to a "tree" in her room??

6. Buntings

{source unknown - sorry}

There's something about buntings that reminds me of a fun day out at the circus! The white walls and mostly white furniture really makes the colours pop too. I plan to DIY these and make them versatile enough to be used at parties.

7. Art Display

Lil Pumpkin has some beautiful art pieces from our own craft activities, preschool and art classes that we would love to display. I think this idea is great for showing off the work and changing the pieces easily.

8. Dress-up corner

Personally, I like my clothes hanging so that they are easy to reach and see. Will probably create a small wardrobe like this to keep hang all the clothes she likes to wear often, together with her accessories for dressing up. Her usual pjs, school uniforms, home clothes etc will be in drawers.

9. Chalkboard wall

There's so much to create, draw and imagine with a chalkboard wall. Enough said.

10. Bed for Sweet Dreams

{source}

I think this would be the ideal bed for many a kids with all the activity areas, but not so ideal for parents that want their kids actually in bed and dreaming. It is fun yes, but maybe too distracting.

Perhaps something like this for Lil Pumpkin. Not too much frills, but still fun with a slide. Under the bed can be her little "home within our home" too since we won't be bringing in her playhouse.

Any other ideas for a children's room?
