There are many tips for designing a small child's bedroom . The goal is to declutter the room and free up floor space for work, relaxation or play depending on the age of your children. Raised or bunk bed for several children, high shelves and storage allow you to optimize space in a small bedroom. Here are our decorating ideas for decorating a small child's bedroom.
Optimize space in a small bedroom
When arranging a small child's bedroom, it is essential to think about how to optimize space and find space-saving tips. When floor space is limited, a tip is to take advantage of the overhead space in the room . For example, the sleeping area can be fitted out with storage, a work, relaxation or games area. 
1: opt for a raised bed
Setting up a small child's bedroom by using the space under the bed is an interesting tip. We distinguish the raised mezzanine type bed and the combined bed with integrated storage .
The mezzanine bed for older children
High beds save space in the bedroom: mezzanine bed or raised bed depending on the age of your child. The loft bed offers a large space that can be arranged in various ways:
- a work space: desk and storage;
- a relaxation area: with a small sofa, armchairs or simply a rug and cushions;
- a play area: set up a play area adapted to the age of your child.
The combined bed for the little ones
The children's combined bed is suitable for young children given its low height. There are beds with several rows of drawers depending on the desired height. These drawers are practical for storing toys, bed linen and keeping the room tidy. Other models offer shelves or closed storage.

2: opt for bunk beds
If several children have to share the same room, bunk beds are preferred. Some models have a storage drawer or a third bed with a retractable bed base (trundle bed). This gives you two or even three beds while freeing up space in the bedroom for playing, relaxing or studying.
3: choose a desk that fits the space
The desk is essential furniture in a child's bedroom . It is useful for drawing or doing manual activities when the child is small. Afterwards, he will be able to do his homework there. If you do not have a mezzanine bed or a combined bed with desk, several solutions are available to you:
- the extension of a library with a shelf that serves as a desk;
- a desk with pedestals that provide practical storage;
- a folding table which optimizes space, once folded.
4: exploit the space at height
Another space-saving tip for setting up a small child's bedroom is to take advantage of the overhead space with large cupboards or shelves which allow you to declutter the room by freeing up floor space. If your children are small, you will need to consider placing the wardrobe for clothes and the storage spaces for common objects at around a meter in height so that they can access it and tidy their room on their own. 
5: go for decorative accessories that make storage easier
Do not hesitate to place baskets or storage bins on wheels which are both functional and decorative accessories, especially if you have young children or babies.
6: promote light in a small bedroom
Bringing light into a small bedroom is essential to give the impression of volume. You can also work on the lighting in order to structure the room (work space, games, night, etc.) and warm up the atmosphere.

7: enlarge the space with painting
It is possible to visually enlarge a room using painting. The most common technique is to use an accent wall. In a small bedroom, we traditionally choose the wall or section of wall facing the door as the wall to paint differently from the other walls in the bedroom. You can use a single color a shade darker than the color of the other walls or play with three colors to create a geometric pattern and thus structure the room .
8: enlarge the space with wallpaper
Panoramic wallpaper is a relevant choice for decorating and enlarging a small bedroom. It is particularly effective when applied to the wall behind the headboard. Wallpaper enhances the decoration while creating a feeling of depth in the room . There is a wide choice of panoramic wallpapers to match all decor styles. To arrange a small child's bedroom, a tip is to keep 50 cm all around the bed, which allows good circulation in the room . Opt for a flat headboard, especially if you are planning a decor with panoramic wallpaper.
