A kid’s room is a place where they spend most of their time playing, studying, learning and resting. It is a place that should reflect their unique personalities that are ever-evolving. Kid’s room interior design must include the essentials while having a creative flair to spark their imagination!

Whether you are starting from scratch or hoping to improve an existing space, find some inspiration here for a kid bedroom:

Double up on storage

Toys, books, games, clothes, kids come with a lot of stuff. Consider under-the-bed storage, trunks and furniture with built-in storage.

Play with colour

Kids love colour! But choosing the right one for them can be tricky since they can also be very picky. Sure, your little one may love yellow right now, but can outgrow it before you know it. Choose neutral colours for large canvases like the wall and add colour in easy to switch places like textiles, decor items and more.

Make way for relaxation

We all need to get away from time to time. Include a cosy reading nook which has the added benefit of encouraging your little one to read a good book!

Focus on play

Add a chalkboard wall or an easy-to-upgrade art gallery where your kid can display their work of art. A bunk bed slide or fun wall stickers from Berger iPaint DIY range are also a great option, encouraging play while helping them burn all that extra energy before bedtime.

Buy furniture that is timeless

A car-shaped bed or a Disney themed wardrobe are all very well for the time being, but once your kid outgrows it, chances are that you will have to shell out major bucks to replace it. Buy timeless and classic furniture pieces that will serve you well for years to come!

Interior designers often find inspiration in the most unusual of places. Cubism is one such decor trend which finds its origins in historical avant-garde style.

Pablo Picasso is one of the significant artists who defined cubism style. Although Picasso is well-known for his paintings around the world today, designers and artists alike use the characteristics of his style in other art forms as well.

Cubism can be found in unconventional home decor in the form of furniture, colours, patterns and more. Let’s take a look at five main characteristics of cubism style:

1. Geometry as a key component: Lots of circles, acute angles, triangular and quadrangular shapes define cubism decor.

2. Simple wall colours: Neutral tones help complement decoration and complex designs and shapes. As a result, opt for grey, blue, white and brown tones. Blue and white tile bathroom can also work well.

3. Decorative wall stickers: Wall elements that align with cubism aesthetics is a unique way to add some perspective and personality to the space. You can also use wall paintings that provide an eloquent way to display cubism style in your home decor.

4. Break the monotony: There are not many lines that direct the eye to specific points in the room since cubism avoids the concept of depth.

5. Furniture as a focal point: Furniture should be geometric in some way or the other. Tables, sofa, coffee table or any other pieces of furniture must have well-marked angles or linearity.

Cubism home decor style offers a bunch of different possibilities. Remember that it is less about the number of cubism elements and more about the function of each of them. Combine cubism style and contemporary art to create a space that is truly unique and full of character and pizzazz.

Decorating small spaces can seem like an impossible puzzle. You wish to fit as much as possible but the room must not feel cramped or overpowering. You want to fill it with personality but it cannot be cluttered. But it is possible to have a small space that is both stylish and functional. We’ve gathered some of our favourite space-saving interior decorating tips here:

Keep the floor clean

You need space for the essentials. But even the most perfectly decorated room will not work if you cannot walk in it without bumping into things. Create extra storage where possible and opt for sconces and wall lights instead of floor lights.

Focus on the lighting

Small spaces often end up looking dark and small. Make up for the lack of natural light by adding plenty of light sources in every room, from kitchen to bedroom to living room. Combine ceiling light fixtures with table lamps and sconces for a cosy and bright atmosphere.

Unify the colour scheme

There are only so many things to look at in a small space, so make sure they all fit together. Stick to a limited colour scheme whether it is bright, light, airy or dramatic.

Mirrors are your friend

Mirrors not only add interest to your space but also pick up natural light and open up the space. Mirrors can also help make the space feel bigger, giving the illusion of a few extra square feet, making them a must-have item for small apartments.

Do double duty

Find and invest in pieces that can serve multiple purposes. Find a table that can also function as a desk, an ottoman that can help with storage, a deep sofa that can serve as a guest bed.

Install floating shelves

Add floating shelves to show off a collection of decorative objects, photographs, books and more in your apartment.
