Fun bedroom ideas for kids full of ideas of their own!

Put two kids in a room and the energy multiplies by much more than two. Childish imagination is the best fuel for playing, and with the parents’ permission the beds, furniture and decorations are happy to participate in the world of play. At the end of the day the beds, oh sorry, “the boats” are ready to sail the kids away into dreamland.

Psst! Don’t tell the kids that this playful planning makes tidying up part of the fun.

A lot of personal growth has started with someone else saying “I bet you can’t”. With kids it can be things like getting dressed, finding lost things or tidying up a room in no time. Smart storage (and parents) is the key to make tidying up part of the playing. Ready? “I bet you can’t tidy up this room before I count to ten!”

Items as playful as the kids themselves

Some products get more love than most, and these are good examples of that. The reasons to why parents and children appreciate them might differ, but as long as everyone is happy…

There’s a lot of buzzing about this storage unit

And no wonder. VITBJÖRN storage unit with drawer obviously offers a lot of storage, but it can also double as a room divider. The bright red roof can be opened from both sides, so there’s no need to fight about getting the best side of it. Childishy simple? No, childishly genious!

Who can fall asleep first?

It might be a competition no-one wants to win, but after a long day it’s always nice to be tucked into the favourite bedding. BUSUNGE extendable bed grows to fit children of different ages and lengths.

It’s much more than a room, it’s a playground with endless possibilities.

One reason to why children are full of energy, is that they live in the moment and master the art of recharging their batteries. And who wouldn’t love to fall asleep to a story about the seven seas and then wake up to find sunshine, green leaves and a train station in the room? To any child imagination is a natural part of life, the dreams are endless and so are the possibilities. Feel free to be inspired, we all have a little child within us.
