2024 trends in a child's room

In terms of decoration, children's rooms evolve just as much as other rooms in the house. While for many years they were very cluttered and colorful, today they are more minimalist and soothing, in line with the child's well-being. So, what are the latest trends in children's room decor? How can you apply them at home according to parents' and children's tastes?

Children's beds with many formats

Beyond the classic 90x190 cm children's bed, there are now many different sleeping arrangements for your child. You can choose a children's bed that suits your needs, the size of the room, the number of children occupying the room, etc. Now, there's no such thing as a girl's bed or a boy's bed, the models are suitable for all, with examples such as:

  • The Montessori bed: dedicated to very young children, it is close to the ground to facilitate getting up and going to bed autonomously.
  • The house bed: a major trend for several years now, this children's bed brings a playful universe to the room.
  • The trundle bed for children: this is the perfect model for having an extra bed if your child occasionally has a guest for the night. It can even contain storage spaces, like the WALLIS trundle bed, for example.
  • The loft bed for children: placed at height, it allows for installing a bench, desk, or other furniture underneath.
  • The bunk bed for children: this classic is still relevant for shared children's rooms.
  • The mid-height bed: between a simple bed and a loft bed, it offers a nice space underneath for storage or creating a cozy corner.

There are still many other possibilities to find a model that suits your needs and optimize space with the right bed.

Sustainable and eco-friendly furniture

The 2024 trend in children's room decor naturally adapts to current challenges. Now, it's possible to focus on more sustainable and eco-friendly furniture. For this, there are several criteria you can check, such as:

  • French or European origin
  • The use of PEFC certified solid wood
  • The use of ecological panels with low formaldehyde content
  • The use of solvent-free paint or varnish

These criteria allow you to focus on furniture and objects that are more environmentally friendly, durable over time, and better suited for your child's well-being (notably by limiting exposure to volatile organic compounds).

Natural and pastel colors

While our children's cartoons, comics, and video games are full of bright colors, it's precisely to counterbalance this that we tend to opt for natural and soft colors. Sage green, powder pink, beige, sky blue - these are colors that we find more and more in children's rooms. This helps create a soft and soothing environment, conducive to sleep.

You can choose these types of colors for the wall paint, wallpaper, curtains, bedding, and other items to create a lovely harmony in the room.

Natural
materials

Natural materials are also to be favored in the child's room. So, forget metal structures and excess plastic, and opt for wood, rattan, bamboo, cotton, or linen. These natural materials help create a warm and pleasant atmosphere in the room. Moreover, it's also an excellent way to choose furniture and objects that are more durable over time.

Minimalism and functionality

In 2024, cluttered and poorly organized children's rooms are becoming parents' nightmare. It is now customary to prioritize minimalism and functionality. We thus avoid accumulating to focus on the essentials, that is, what is truly useful and brings genuine happiness. This applies to toys as well as decoration. Each object is therefore carefully chosen. Moreover, the room should be as functional as possible to make its use particularly pleasant.

A touch of vintage

Vintage is also very popular in children's rooms. The problem? A vintage children's bed may be damaged, rarely compliant with current standards, and may lack comfort. Therefore, you can opt for a vintage item that won't affect your child's well-being, such as a small wardrobe or toy chest, for example. Be sure to check the sturdiness and cleanliness of the item before installing it in your child's room.

Another solution: choose new furniture with a vintage effect. Today, you can find beautiful furniture creations that are environmentally friendly and compliant with current standards, yet seem to have simply stood the test of time.

Wallpaper as a decorative asset

For several years now, wallpaper has made a big comeback in children's rooms. You can choose it in its classic version, but also opt for the latest trend: panoramic wallpaper. Scenes of animals in the forest, under the oceans, or flower arrangements, panoramas allow you to personalize the room by giving it that touch of nature and magic desired. It only covers one wall, which helps avoid the somewhat stifling effect that wallpaper can sometimes have.

Themes, still in fashion

If there's one trend that doesn't change, it's the themed children's room. Space, forest, marine world, savanna - the possibilities are endless, and this will allow you to create a universe that your child will love.
