What to do if your Child is Outgrowing their Bedroom

January 4, 2013
Every parent thinks it’ll never happen, but there comes a time in every child’s life when they begin to outgrow the bedroom they’ve had since being a grasshopper!
The trouble is that kids can be expensive and if you have no plans to move then you have to think of other low-cost ways to make sure they’re comfortable.
Luckily, there are options available to help make the most of your space without it costing a fortune.
Bespoke furniture
If your child is hitting the end of their growth spurt, it might be time to explore a bespoke bedroom solution.
This will allow you to design the room around their needs and tastes (within reason), and the quality of the finished product will mean it can last for years.
Bespoke furniture will make the most of all the nooks and crannies and awkward areas of the room, and provide a place to hide away all of the clutter, making the room feel much larger.
Bedrooms fitted to your requirements don’t have to cost the earth either, as there are many suppliers that will design something to fit to your budget. The longevity of the furniture will also mean you won’t have to replace it for years.
Loft conversion
This is an option that is unavailable to a lot of people and may be too costly for others, but if you do have the space available and can get enough money to do it then converting your loft or attic space into another bedroom can be a very good move.
Not only will you create a new fabulous space for your offspring to expand into, but you could also add a significant sum to the value of your home.
You should also consider how much more peace and quiet you will get by moving your child to the top of the house, well out of earshot!
Raised beds
There is nothing that many children like more than having a bed that they can quite literally climb into.
There is a huge selection of beds available from a wide variety of furniture retailers that are raised off the ground to free up the space underneath it for a better use. For younger children you can get beds fitted with slides, while older children will be delighted with a double bed raised above a desk where they can pretend to do their homework.
Redecorate
It may seem simple, but often simply redecorating a room can open up a lot of space. It may be that by painting the room a lighter colour makes the room feel more spacious.
By buying new furniture, with space-saving in mind, it’s amazing how much space you can create. Consider, for example, how much extra space you could create just by buying a bed with under-bed drawers.

When it comes to decorating, there is one room that is a real treat to do, the bedroom. Whether you have chosen to spruce up your own master bedroom, a children’s room or you want to transform the spare room into a beautiful guest room following these helpful design ideas will keep your home looking up to date and stylish.
There are lots of factors to consider when it comes to creating the perfect space. Firstly, decide what kind of effect you want your room to have; do you want the space to create a calm and relaxing atmosphere or do you want to design a bright and energising space? Deciding on how you want the room to make you feel will help determine the colour scheme you should choose. If you are stuck for inspiration why not try some of the following design ideas for 2012.
If you like the idea of a bespoke bedroom, vintage style is a good option. Vintage is huge at the moment, whether it is second hand clothing, or old fashioned style photographs, the vintage effect is all over the high street and the fashion magazines. The same vintage look can be applied to your home. A vintage themed bedroom can look subtle, stylish and calming, and is likely to include soft neutral colours such as creams and dusty blues and greens. Decorating a bedroom in a vintage style can be a very cost effective option; you can create a vintage look by re-using or “up-cycling” old or second hand furniture meaning you don’t need to splash out on expensive new furniture.
On the opposite side of the interior design spectrum, bright block colours and crisp lines are 2012s main trend for interior design. Using blocks of bright colour can be a great way of modernising a room which is a bit lack-lustre. If you are unsure of which colours to go for, a safe bet is to stick with primary colours, for example blue, red and yellow. Combine these bright blocks of colour with bold pieces of furniture such as perspex or glass desks, bedside tables or striking light fixtures. This type of design will add a modern twist to outdated rooms. For a touch of really modern living why not opt for a fitted bedroom? As well as looking great, fitted bedrooms are also a great space saver. So, if you are looking for a modern streamlined look and want to hide away all that clutter, a fitted bedroom might be just the thing.
When deciding what style to go for, you will need to take into consideration what the purpose of the room is. Master bedrooms are not just a place to rest our heads, they are havens away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the house. Somewhere to go where we can forget about the days events and truly relax and be ourselves, and so it is important to take this into consideration. Ultimately, how you choose to decorate your room will come down to personality, so choose a style that really reflects your individuality and be brave in your interior design decisions using the best of current trends to help guide you in your decorating.
