Real Kids Room Inspiration

And that is... 

"Form Follows Function"

If your child's room or baby nursery is not functional, it wouldn't matter if you added the most expensive crib or the trendiest light fixture in the room.

Real Kids Rooms - Best Practices

  • Furniture - when choosing the furniture for the room, you must keep in mind that it has to withstand kids jumping, climbing and crawling around on them. Sturdy, well-made pieces with anti-tip kits where needed.
  • Bed-sheets - and lots of them. For your peace of mind, keep them clean and ready to change at a moment's notice.
  • Lighting - a beautiful chandelier to match the theme of the room makes for a stunning Instagram post, but don't neglect the task lighting for homework or a bedside light for the sleep-time reads.
  • Storage - and tons of it. Finding places to hide storage bins out of sight but within easy reach for instant clean-ups will be a life-saver. Color coordinate or find themed bins and baskets that you can showcase in areas where they cannot be out-of-sight. 
  • Paint on the walls - is it Mr. Clean wipeable?
  • Area rug - brings in the fun...and a safe landing spot from the afore-mentioned jumps and falls. Remember...there WILL be SPILLS!!
