The Kids Bedroom Guide
As kids grow, so does their need for personal space. Their bedroom is an area that should feel like their own oasis from the busy outside world. Proper design can encourage restful sleep, creativity, and a sense of calm. Whether starting from scratch with a new space or looking to spruce up an existing room, check out our guide to kids' rooms for more inspiration — from bedding to storage, to workspaces, and more.

Before you commit to buying all new furniture, do a little prep work to make sure your new kids room has the look and function you desire.
Take Measurements
Finding furniture that suits the size of your floor plan requires thorough measurements before you purchase. Jot down wall lengths, window and ceiling heights, so you can do the math when looking at different styles.

F.A.Q.
What types of furniture should be included in a kid's room?
The first piece of furniture you want to put into a kid's room is a bed. It's good to always start with this since it tends to be the biggest piece. And getting it in first makes it easier to determine the best size and placement for everything else.
A dresser with drawers for clothes, a desk, and a study chair are also essential for every kid's room. Additionally, consider putting a nightstand next to the bed so they can easily store bedtime necessities. Finally, a bookshelf or additional chest for storage and organization will help them keep their rooms clean and tidy.
When it comes to kid's rooms, choosing furniture that's durable, safe (with rounded edges and stable construction), and appropriately sized for the child's age and size is important.
Is it more cost-effective to buy a set for a kid's room or individual pieces?
It's usually less expensive to buy furniture sets for kids' rooms instead of individual pieces, especially if you're starting from scratch. Not only do they provide the essential things kids need, but furniture sets are designed to match and bring a cohesive look kids enjoy.
What's the best way to arrange furniture in a child's room?
While the exact arrangement depends on preference and available space, safety, functionality, and comfort should be priorities when arranging furniture in a child's room.
Since the bed is usually the largest piece, it's a good idea to start with that, placed away from the door and windows for safety and quiet. Put the desk close to a window, and make sure there is a study lamp for nighttime or when the option for natural light isn't available.
Place bookshelves and dressers against the wall and ensure there's plenty of free room for movement and play.
