8 ideas to renovate children's bedrooms for kids aged three to seven

1. Create two bedrooms in one 

If you have a sufficiently large bedroom, you might want to create a "2-for-1" space. What does that mean? It means that you can divide the room into two areas: one with a larger bed (a more "grown up" one) with drawers, and another with a smaller bed for them.  

• Having a children's bedroom with a larger bed with drawers can serve many different purposes: 
• For those "wobbly nights" when your little ones want you close 
• When they're sick and you don't want to leave them alone. 
• It's ideal for guests or friends when they spend the night. 
• It's a place with much more storage than a small bed. 
• When they grow up, they'll have a bed adapted to their size, and you'll only have to remove their smaller one. 

Remember that you can continue to make orders online so that you don't have to wait any longer for the children's bedrooms of your dreams. 

2. Room for playing: transform their bed into a play den 

With a structure that looks like a canopy bed and a blanket to make a roof, you can create a space as cosy as this. Children love to feel like they're in a tent, in their own little space within their room and protected from the rest of the world, where they can dream up countless adventures. 

Even if you don't have the structure, you can make a canopy. How? By fixing a blanket at three or four points to the ceiling using simple fasteners. 

3. Propose storage solutions that they can also use 

Having clothes, books or toys within reach of the youngest members of the family helps them to be more independent: they can pick things up when they need them and put them away when they've finished, without having to ask you.  

Of course, they won't always be able to reach everything (there's no reason to), but it's important to give them access to some drawers or baskets so that they start to do this type of thing by themselves. In addition, it's a fantastic organisational resource for children's bedrooms!

4. Create a space that you can also make the most of 

If your child's bedroom is big enough, you can make the most of it by using it for yourself as well. How? Add a sofa or work table. Now that everyone is spending so much time at home, you'll be able to read in peace, work from home or simply rest while they play.  

And at any time, you can get down on the floor and play with them. Everything else can wait!  

5. Transform a small loft into a child's bedroom 

The loft tends to be a forgotten and unused space in many large homes, especially in rural areas and suburbs of large cities.  

But it can become a great addition if you know how to make the most out of it, and what better time than now to get started? With the kids at home, they'll happily give you a hand to build their dream space. 

Here are some ideas:  

• Rug: essential for children to play on the floor without getting cold and to dampen noise and thumps. 
• Put up some shelves for storing board games, toys, posters, etc. 
• Storage baskets are essential holding all those small things, which would otherwise end up strewn about the floor. Use them correctly, classifying their content. 
• Put the largest toys or the games that require most space in this room, which means you'll save space in their bedroom. 

6. Fun storage to encourage them to join in

Children are more likely to help and tidy up if they have accessories that capture their attention, or that they've created themselves. 
 
A good example is these boxes lined with paper, which they have chosen themselves and have helped to line. Let your children customise their things so that they feel more familiar with them. Also, storage for children helps them to be responsible for their things from a young age. Great entertainment for these times, don't you think? 

7. Let them choose the colours

Just like you let them customise some of their things, you can also let them decorate their room in their favourite colours. They may be young, but they still have their own preferences! 
 
What things can they choose that are simple and eye-catching? Cushions, bedding, stuffed animals to go on the bed, the rug. Be warned that you might be surprised by your children's good taste. 

You can prepare your shopping bag with everything you want to arrive at your home…

8. Adapt the furniture to your children 

Do your little ones love to draw? Surely they sometimes leave the table full of paint and stains. A good solution is to line their table with a piece of material that's easy to clean, like a plastic cover. This means it's your furniture that adapts to your children, and not the other way around.  
 
Here come those never-ending days of drawing!
