From enduring Disney characters to heritage-inspired schemes, creating a bedroom that will adapt as your child grows is not difficult, says SAM WYLIE-HARRIS
-
ONE of the best ways to get creative and switch up your kids' bedroom is with a little artistic expression, vintage-inspired furnishings and timeless treatments.
The sort of things which evoke childhood memories to create a comforting space and a backdrop to build on as your toddler grows up - and their bedroom starts to reflect the things they love most.
"What delights a toddler today may feel outgrown by the time they reach primary school age," highlights Leah Aspinall, head of design at Blinds 2go.
"That's why it's best to create a timeless bedroom from the beginning, one that's easy to change and adapt as little ones grow - one which embodies whimsy and fun, but responds to maturing and varying tastes too."
Starting with neutral colours
This is the key to timeless design. Choose walls, flooring, and large furniture items in classic, versatile colours such as soft whites, greys, warm beiges, and gentle pastels, suggests Leah.
She says: "These tones create a calming environment and provide a blank canvas for colourful accents, like artwork and decorative touches, that can easily be changed over time, suiting little minds that have a new favourite obsession every other minute."
