Cool kids CLUB

As children grow and their personalities evolve, their bedrooms should too...

- CHARNDRÉ EMMA KIPPIE

Updating your child's bedroom not only hits 'reset' on the space, but also fosters a creative and comfortable environment where they can feel inspired, relaxed and ready to learn (and play!). Whether a preschooler or a tween, here's how to easily upgrade their bedroom with trendy colours, fun patterns, smart storage and cute accessories.

Fun, fresh & timeless

When it comes to kids’ bedrooms, you’ll want to start with striking the perfect balance between playful and calming tones. By introducing these shades – perhaps with a fresh coat of paint on the walls or through the bedding and curtains – you can create a room that feels fresh and modern, yet cosy enough to encourage relaxation.

CANDY DREAMS

Don’t shy away from delicate pastels like blush pink and lavender. They remain popular for a reason, adding warmth and softness to a space without overwhelming it. You can blend these tones with neutrals or earthy greens for a soft, dreamy effect. If your child prefers something bolder, opt for deeper purples, which have a royal yet cosy feel.

GOING GREEN

Lime, verdant and seafoam greens are the standout green shades for 2025, according to House & Garden. These shades are versatile and bring a touch of nature indoors, perfect for creating a serene yet energised space. Sage green can be paired with neutral tones or bolder colours like mustard, earthy browns or dark blue for a modern contrast. Brighter greens, meanwhile, can give a fresh pop, ideal for an accent wall, cool comforter designs or even fun furniture pieces.
