Joy, color & comfort – 8 tips for a playful children's room

Fritz Hansen Series 7 children's chair, rose
Filled with life and laughter, the kid’s room is without a doubt the funniest place at home, yet the cozy and creative area also requires practicality and storage solutions to work. Take a look at the timeless design picks for the cheerful children's room!

Chair for a small resident

In a children's room, the dimensions of the furniture should match the small size of the user. Designed by Arne Jacobsen, Fritz Hansen Series 7 children’s chair is a tiny sibling of the iconic chair model. The chair finds its place at a desk, bringing long-lasting joy.

Dreams on two floors

The classic item of the children’s room, the bunk bed, is a multi-purpose companion that makes extra floor space for playing. Lundia's high-quality and fresh Lofty bunk bed is comfortable to climb up to sleep and can be transformed into two single regular beds as the children grow.

Keep it clutter-free

Toys lost or lying around? Favorite goods are easy to collect into boxes and baskets at the end of the day, avoiding larger toy chaos. Handcrafted in Nepal, the HAY Bead storage basket consists of hundreds of felt spheres that create a playful texture as well as a fun zigzag pattern on the surface.

Wild walls

In addition to the little artist's drawings, the walls can be decorated with various posters. MADO’s posters bring colors and personality to the room, and different prints can be combined with each other. The Four Feelings poster presents feelings we experience during the day and reminds us of the importance of showing them.

Stacked storage

When children’s toys, games, and books are stored at a suitable height, they are easy to take, use and return to their place. The Montana Mini is a simple but versatile storage module that can be mounted on the wall or placed directly on the floor. The deliciously colored modules work either individually or in a group.

Memorable meals

Each meal tastes a little better with your own tableware – especially if you let the child choose their favorite color! The ceramic Nuppu Junior tableware set delights in the shades of northern berries. The products targeted at kindergarten-age kids are intended to last through the child's life cycle until adulthood, when the dishes work in serving, for example.
