Children and their imaginations are some of the most creative forces in a home, manifesting in drawings, forts, tree houses, paintings and inventions. By creating a fairytale in a kid's bedroom or a nursery, the imagination is being fed, inspired and kept alive.

It isn't necessary to spend thousands of Rand on a kid's bedroom or nursery either, especially because it won't be long until childhood fantasies are outgrown. With a bit of colour, shapes and a theme, the most incredible designer kids' bedrooms and nurseries can be created.

The wonderful thing abut the 21st Century is that there is also so much more to work with when it comes to designs for kids. Long gone is the blue for boys, pink for girls mindset. The character that makes up a kid can truly be celebrated in his or her bedroom or nursery whether it's their favourite cartoon character, favourite sport or favourite activity that is styled and designed. 

Ultimately, so much fun can be had with a few easy steps, creating a space for kids where they can truly let their imaginations run wild. 

Choose a theme

Kids love all sorts of toys, television shows and games, however zoning in on one of their favourites and running with it goes a long way. A car theme, for example, can include bold and bright colours like red, yellow, blue, black and white, which can complement neutral furniture tones. A theme provides a base for the design, allowing the rest to unfold into a simple but creative bedroom.

Beds can be beautiful

With beautiful bed designs, kids can have their own playground right in their bedroom. It also adds such a stylish touch, without taking up too much space. Funky bed designs are some of the most popular among kids.

Natural and pure

Incorporating the natural elements in a home works for a kid's bedroom or nursery too. What's more is that this kind of design can work throughout adolescence. Lots of natural light also helps to brighten a bedroom, so it's important to make use of windows. 

It's the little things

It's small accessories and additions to a kid's bedroom or nursery that can help transition it from boring to bright. Nightlights, brightly coloured chairs, picture frames and lamps can all add a delightful ambiance. Leo Le Pirate has a range of accessories that can add colour and beauty to any room.

Get the kids involved

Fashionable furniture doubles up as a canvas for a child's imagination. Use blank futons, drawers or even walls and get the kids to decorate. They will feel as if the bedroom is truly theirs. 

Get creative with the walls

Wall spaces in kids' bedrooms and nurseries are an opportunity to really have some fun. Shelves can be funky, wall paper can be bright and suit the theme or paint can be used to create a colourful setting. Wall murals are also a beautiful addition for any kid. Murales Maravillosos paint gorgeous murals for kids, depending on their favourite colours and characters. 

Storage is king

Kids bedrooms and nurseries come with lots of toys, blankets, clothes, baby books and photographs and can often look cluttered and messy. Use storage wisely under and above the bed, in the cupboards and in containers. Jeeigen Kamer has fun and creative storage spaces that make any kids' room look clean.

Daring and bold
