Creating an attractive children’s minimalist bedroom might seem like a contradiction; however, with some forethought and planning, you can easily and effectively achieve a minimalist child’s bedroom that is easy to keep tidy and organized as they grow. In fact, you can even use it as a tool to help you teach them how to keep their room tidy from a young age, as an organized space can lead them to tidy up easier.
Clear Space Equals Free Imagination
The open space design, which leaves more floor area for your children to play with, is an ideal bedroom design for minimizing clutter while still maximizing space. Instead of stuffing your kids’ bedrooms with toys and colorful decorations, give them space where they can do whatever they want. Limiting their toys allows them to use their imagination more freely.
A Two-Color Palette Removes Confusion
Have fun with the colors and design but try to avoid different patterns and clashing colors. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a bedroom design that is far from the definition of minimalism. If it helps, look at it as disciplined fun or fun combined with consciousness and awareness. When designing your children’s bedrooms, keep in mind the various colors you use. Choose a monochromatic color palette that appeals to both you and your children. If you believe the first color is insufficient, add another. You should then use those two colors. You’ll be surprised at how they can bring life and character to a room without making it appear too loud.
Toys and Books Make Great Decoration
Put on display a few toys that reflect your children’s tastes and personalities, along with some books and art pieces. For example, instead of choosing more permanent themed items such as beds or furniture for decor in a child’s room, use their current interests. This makes it easier to change when their interests change. For example, if your child loves Spongebob, then placing Spongebob-themed books and prints on shelving can make for a fun shelving arrangement, as well as plush toys such as a camp coral spongebob plush. You can also include musical instruments and sports equipment if your children prefer them. What matters is that you create an environment in which your children can naturally develop their skills.
Everything Needs a Home
When your children have a lot of stuff they refuse to part with, look for minimalist storage designs that will hide all the clutter while displaying the most useful items. One great idea is a bed frame with drawers underneath. It will not only save space, but it will also be a cool innovation to make the kids’ bedrooms look more creative. If under-the-bed drawers are not an option, a purpose-built wall unit around their bed with doors to hide items and open spaces to display books or night lights, etc., can be a great alternative. Maximize the space in the room by building up the wall instead of taking over floor space.
