This Shells Wallpaper Scallop by Abigail Edwards suits both a young kids bedroom and a teen one.
Designing a kid’s bedroom isn’t just about decorating a space for that exact point in time; it’s about creating a room that can adapt with them from toddlerhood to teenage life. Kids grow fast and their tastes change rapidly, so it’s important to evaluate what can be updated easily in the future (like paint colours) and what needs to stand the test of time as they get older (such as bedroom furniture).
Here are eight things to consider before you start designing a kid-friendly bedroom
