How many of us consider it significant to create that extra space in our kid’s room without making it look cluttered?

The emotional reactions of your child are also based on these factors. To avoid negative emotional reactions, you need to focus on the proper arrangement of your child’s room as well as add space to your child’s room to avoid making the child feel smothering.
Since the smallest member of the family gets the smallest room, the space given to your kid will not be sufficient as, he/she will have more number of toys and other personal stuff. Perhaps, to experiment with things and carry on with the activities, the child will find it difficult with the cramped space. To avoid this chaos, one can craftily opt for the contemporary interior designing tips which can provide ample space to your child’s room. Make sure that your child’s room has enough space for a comfortable bed, ample storage space play area and an apt study area. Here are a few ideas which can make the small room a spacious place and also make the child feel sober and peaceful.
A multipurpose bed/furniture:
Since your child’s room will have less space and more items, it is advisable to get multipurpose furniture like a pull out bed which can be either folded as a sofa or kept aside when not in use. Avoid having a lengthy and enormous bed which accumulates a lot of space. If there is a single bed in your child’s room, you can attach wooden closets to it so that you can store things in them. The above section of the bed can have shelves which can let you keep books and other items. Also the vertical portion of the bed can have open shelves to keep toys and other items.
The cupboard:
Get a smaller or a sleek cupboard which can accommodate a lot of items. Also having cupboards attached inside the wall will save a lot of space. Get sliding doors installed on the cupboard, this will save space while opening it.
The study area:
One of the best places to keep a small study table and a chair is on the other side of the bed. If the room is too small for a study area, you can have the study area underneath the bed with appropriate décor. Be smart and plan on how to arrange the furniture and make use of all the vertical spaces.
The room colour:
One of the most important aspects of creating space in your child’s room is to use appropriate colour shades. Ensure that you use bright colours along with pastel coloured shades. The storage mediums should be coloured similarly and should be aesthetically designed. You can also enhance the storage areas as mediums of decoration rather than clearly as storage spaces. Make sure that you consult your child before colouring his/her room. Colours like lighter shades of pink, purple and green can be used with other embellishments. Always make sure that you choose the fabric all over the room which is matching and is stain resistant. Having striped walls in your child’s room can also make the room look spacious. Use vertical and horizontal lines on the walls to make it look wider and taller.
Accessories:
To save a lot of space, make sure that you choose an apt place for storing the child’s toys and other accessories. Arrange all the activity related toys and study materials in closed closets and label them neatly. You can also follow the same technique with the child’s clothes and shoes.
Lighting:
This is another important factor which can make a child’s room look spacious. Ensure that you light your child’s room enough, to prevent it from looking like a cave. Opt for standing lamps or have track lighting along the room’s ceiling.
The windows:
It is better to have large and wide windows with simple kid-friendly curtains which can provide enough privacy and a delight to your child. Ensure that there is proper ventilation in the room.
Lastly, you can have a creative concept of a clutter wall. Have a clutter wall with innumerable closets and shelves which will let you keep all the trophies and other junk in them. Having a clutter wall will save you of enough space in the child’s room and will make the room look larger and neater. Clutter wall will also avoid clutter all over the room, as the child can dump everything in these closets and shelves.
