Four Kids’ Bedroom Looks Everyone’s Loving Right Now

A child’s bedroom should be more than a place to sleep – it’s a backdrop for play, imagination, rest and growth. Styling kids’ rooms with intention helps make them feel like spaces worth spending time in, whether your little one loves cosy calm or whimsical colour. The key is combining thoughtful styling techniques with furniture that works hard for everyday life.

Cottage Core Comfort – Soft, Natural and Cosy

Cottage core brings the charm of countryside comfort into a bedroom, grounding the space with soft textures and nature-inspired touches. The buttermilk colouring, rattan details and contrasting blue scalloping of the Bonnie range are the perfect foundation for this look. Add cosy layers with rattan baskets for storing toys and blankets, and lean into linen or cotton bedding with floral or muted prints to add gentle pattern without overwhelming the room. Placing a soft, textured rug beside the bed brings an extra layer of comfort, while a few real or potted plants add that natural-world feel cottage core is known for.

Japandi Calm – Minimal, Balanced and Serene

For a space that feels calm and intentional, Japandi style marries Japanese simplicity with Scandinavian warmth. Choose furniture with clean lines and neutral finishes like the Blair King Single Bed and Bedside Table to keep surfaces uncluttered. Keep the colour palette soft – think warm whites, beige and muted greys – and layer in natural materials such as a simple wooden chair or a soft wool blanket. Keep decorations sparse and meaningful – a single framed print or a small plant – so the room feels peaceful rather than busy. This approach helps create a restful sleep environment without losing a sense of personality.

Scandinavian Neutral – Light, Airy and Functional

Scandinavian style  is all about lightness, thoughtful function and a sense of ease. Anchor the room with a bed like the Arlo Arched Single Bed, which offers practical safety with rounded, upholstered edges and low-to-the-floor design. Keep walls light and bright, then layer in textures with knitted throws, simple woven baskets and soft, neutral rugs. Open shelving, such as the Archie Bookcase, helps showcase favourite books and keeps them within easy reach, while a sturdy desk and chair set gives a practical place for drawing and reading. The focus here is on making the room feel inviting and breathable while keeping things organised.

Whimsical and Playful – Colourful, Imaginative and Full of Character

For kids who thrive on colour and imagination, a playful bedroom aesthetic turns the room into a backdrop for creativity. Start with a versatile base – a neutral bed with fun detail like the Cosy Cloud King Single Bed – then bring in colourful accents through soft furnishings and décor. Cushions in fun shapes, hanging wall decals and whimsical artwork help tell a story. For storage, mix open and closed options like toy boxes and colourful bins so treasures are easy to find and hide away when needed. A teepee or cosy reading nook with fairy lights becomes a space for playtime storytelling. The key is to balance colour and fun with functional pieces that keep the room feeling joyful, not chaotic.

Style With Practicality in Mind

No matter the aesthetic, the most successful kids’ bedrooms are those that feel fun and functional. Make room for play and storage with kid-friendly furniture – shelves at reachable heights, drawers that roll smoothly, and surfaces that can handle busy days. Rugs help define areas for play and rest while adding softness underfoot. Lighting matters too – a mix of overhead light and bedside or desk lamps ensures the room feels bright for activities but cosy for bedtime.

Personal Touches that Grow With Them

One of the best parts of styling a kids’ room is the opportunity to reflect their evolving interests. Swap out wall art as their tastes change, rotate books and toys seasonally, or frame favourite drawings as part of the décor. Attention to detail – like a favourite soft toy tucked on the pillow or a colourful hanger rail for outfits – makes the room feel truly personal.
