Adorable kids’ bedroom ideas from toddlers to teens

Moving from a cot to a big kids' bed is a huge rite of passage for your little one. The same can be said for tweens and teens who have always shared a room with their brother or sister; it’s time for them to have their own space and express their individuality with posters, photos of their friends, and all sorts of creative decorations!

If it’s time to make space for your child to grow, you might be looking for cute kids' bedroom ideas, from storage and shelving to bedding, a chest of drawers, and bedroom decor. Here, we share some kids' bedroom designs to refresh your child’s living space and make them feel like the unique human they truly are.

Kids' bedroom ideas for babies & toddlers

If your baby is old enough to move into their own room, it’s time to decorate their sleeping space and encourage them to grow and learn!

Consider dark blue, olive green, or pale grey walls for your little boy and paint a vibrant mural over the top (or opt for a peel-and-stick decal that can be removed as their tastes change). Think about his favourite movies, TV shows, and books right now; adding a recognisable character to your boy’s wall will make the transition from mum’s room to his own room easier.

The same can be said for a girl’s room, but perhaps with pastel or white walls and a floral or geometric patterned feature wall (or ceiling) for a modern and minimalist look. Alternatively, hang up lots of photos and images in antique-look frames, like butterflies, galaxies and stars, or even their favourite TV characters (Bluey is always a popular choice).

Every toddler needs space to play on the floor, too. Your little one will end up spending a lot of time in their bedroom playing with toys and teddies, so why not add an educational kids rug to the mix?

Our Kids Alphabet Rug, for example, offers a fun and colourful way for your little one to learn their ABCs. Made from soft piled nylon, this rug features cute characters your child will come to love.

Plus, it matches the other colourful toys in their playroom great!\

Kids' bedroom ideas for tweens

As your toddler moves into their childhood and tweens, they’ll be looking to add their favourite colours and themes to their space. Embrace their individuality - ask what they’d like to see in their bedroom like decorative flags, photos of their friends, posters of their favourite bands and TV shows, and more!

While out shopping with your growing girl, look for modern metallic lamps - think chrome, silver, or gold. These colours go with everything, so even if your little girl wants to change up her bedroom style, her lamps will still be in style.

Don’t forget to get lots of cute and cosy pillows and throw blankets for her bed! She’ll be extra comfortable at bedtime and have something soft to cuddle (especially if she’s grown out of teddy bears).

In your boy’s room, add a big thick doona to his bed for those chilly winter nights. Think navy blue corduroy covers and lots of extra pillows for bedtime. For some extra warmth — both temperature-wise and aesthetically — add a colourful piled rug to play on and warm their toes on those cold winter mornings.

If he likes gaming in his room, add some comfortable bean bags in the corner for those long afternoons playing Minecraft and Fortnite. Boys will be boys!

Kids' bedroom ideas for teens

Your child is speeding towards adulthood, big exams, and spending more time with friends out of the house. Without a doubt, they’ll be gunning for more space and privacy for studying, watching their own Netflix shows, and spending hours scrolling the socials long after their old “bedtime”.

The teen years are about finding yourself and your individuality, so now’s the time to let them decorate their own room.

Teen girls will appreciate soft throw blankets, indoor plants, minimalist wall decals, sheer curtains and twinkle lights for soft, elegant light. Our Faux Sheepskin Rug is always popular with teens; fluffy and chic, a faux sheepskin rug can be draped over the end of their bed or laid out at their feet when getting out of bed in the morning.

Even teen boys will appreciate a fluffy rug in their bedroom. There’s nothing better than a fluffy rug to dip your toes into in the morning, especially in winter.

Otherwise, decorate your son’s room with mixed colours (either vibrant or dark, muted colours like charcoal) and geometric patterns for a modern, more grown-up look. A feature wall never goes astray; consider leaving all other walls block colours, then let them decorate their feature wall with paint and posters.

Whether you have a teen boy or girl, don’t forget to add a reading nook, desk and chair to create a cosy study area. It will put them in a better mood for homework, studies, and flashes of inspiration.
