Create a deeply restful space
A crescent moon and twinkling stars create a magical backdrop in this room by In the Deets. The design is beautiful in its simplicity, with a house-shaped bedframe sitting in front of the deep blue painted wall.
Using a dark colour palette in a child’s room can really help to create a soothing night-time atmosphere, while the addition of fairy lights or layers of soft lighting can help your child to transition from playtime to sleep time.

Fashion an indoor treehouse
This fun bedroom by Alison Kandler Interior Design is perfect for little explorers. A wraparound wall mural brings colour and pattern to the space, while the raised, house-shaped bed feels like a treehouse hideaway, thanks to the natural wood, small ladder and enclosed roof.
Simple linen blinds at the bed’s windows and door add to the feeling of adventure, and the wooden light feature ties into the rustic theme.

Make a den
The house bed in this scheme by JR INTERIOR DESIGNER maximises the available floor space by raising the mattress up high, leaving room for a play den underneath.
Perfect for small spaces, this idea could also be adapted to create a study area, if the ceiling height allows for a taller design.

This lovely design by Murs et Merveilles shows how even a small kids’ room can be turned into a magical hideaway. By tucking a timber-framed bed into a corner and covering the walls around it in a tree-patterned paper, the space feels cosy and inviting and makes an asset of the enclosed area.
Underbed storage is also useful in a small space, and a drawer like this one can be ideal for stashing toys and bedding out of sight. Alternatively, with the addition of a mattress, it could be transformed into an extra bed for sleepovers.
