Harmonious color scheme in the children's room

The color concept contributes the most to the overall visual impression of the children's room. Not only the color of the walls is relevant, but also how they harmonize with the furnishings. It can be sensible to choose a rather neutral wall color, as many toys often already provide a colorful delight for the eye. But it doesn't have to be exclusively classic white – if your little one has a preference for blue, yellow or green, you can also try those colors. To make a color feel less overwhelming, paint only one wall and leave the others white.

Rugs, curtains and details like bedding can add color accents and contribute to a harmonious overall look. Use friendly, light colors – then the feel-good factor is guaranteed!

Children also particularly like themed rooms, which follow a consistent theme concept. Here you can create a fitting atmosphere through wall decals and photo murals to create a suitable atmosphere. How about a palm mural for a pirate room or a little crown on the wall for the princess room?

Curtains and bed canopies

Flowing fabrics in soft or rich colors give the room a soft, cozy touch. Curtains also serve several practical functions: on long summer evenings and in the morning they darken the room or can be used as room dividers. With a bed canopy you turn the child's bed into a wonderful retreat that conveys coziness and security and promises a deep, restful sleep.

Bedding

With the right bedding you can set great color accents! Of course you can also pick up your child's preferences and hobbies in the motifs here. In the HABA shop you'll find a large selection of bedding on various themes: from unicorns to animal motifs to fire trucks, there's something for everyone!

Children's rugs

Children's rugs are not only visually appealing, they are also a great surface for playing! They provide a cozy warm area, a protective cushioning during romping and tumbling and also dampen the noise when things get a bit wilder in the children's room! In the HABA shop you'll find rugs made from wonderfully soft fabric with birds, flowers, stars and other pretty motifs as well as play rugs on different themes.

Our ideas for theme concepts

Rockets: For space fans, HABA offers great furnishing and design possibilities: bedding, rug and decorative light with rocket motifs set the right accents! In a hanging hideout in matching shades of blue your little one can get really cozy – and experience a bit of the feeling of weightlessness!

Stars: Stars are timeless favorites and equally popular with boys and girls! At HABA you'll find numerous furnishings and decoration ideas with star motifs – a fluffy rug, wall clock and night light bring the evening sky into the children's room and are eye-catchers even outside the Christmas season!

Birds: Birds are a wonderful motif for a lovingly designed children's room and bring a piece of nature into your home. HABA not only has the matching rug and bedding for this – curtains, garlands and many other decorative products enchant with colorful little birds and pretty floral ornaments.

Vehicles: Many children, especially boys, develop an early fascination for vehicles of all kinds. Whether a fire truck, tractor or construction crane – with the cheerfully designed furnishings and accessories from HABA, a vehicle fan will be in for a treat!

Practical furnishing with stylish children's furniture

With the right pieces of furniture you can get the best out of every floor space — both visually and practically! The bed is the relaxation center for your little one, while the desk in particular plays an important role for learning and working from school age onwards.

You should always keep practicability in mind – for example, there are space-saving modular furniture, that can be converted from a storage box into a table or a pouf. Make sure you don't clutter the room with furniture that's too large, but that all pieces of furniture are within easy reach.

Visually you can add great color accents with stylish children's furniture. If you want to furnish the children's room especially personally, you can also buy plain wooden furniture that you can custom paint and decorate.

Age-appropriate furnishing for the children's room

Children grow up faster than you can look – they not only outgrow clothes and shoes, but also furniture. So you should always think ahead when furnishing. Practical examples include height-adjustable furniture, that practically grow with the children. Also when choosing colors and motifs, ask yourself whether your little one will still like them in two years.

Beds

The bed is for many the heart of their home. It is the place for retreat, relaxation and of course a restful sleep. A great option is the loft bed. It not only saves space and creates storage, it is also a wonderful adventure playground for your child!

Seating

Seating can serve many different functions – depending on whether your child wants to relax with friends, has to hunch over homework, or is looking for a place to unwind. That's why you'll find a large selection of corresponding products at the HABA shop. While the desk chairs focus more on ergonomics, with bean bags and seat cushions, comfort and cuddliness are of course the main focus!

Desks

By the time your child becomes a schoolchild the desk plays an increasingly important role in the children's room. But even at kindergarten age it can be a great place for painting, crafting and all kinds of creative activities. A desk should offer enough space and a simple organization system to create an environment in which your child can work with concentration. You'll find a suitable selection of beautiful and practical desks at the HABA shop.

Creating storage space

Simple and practical organization systems provide visual clarity and save time when tidying up! For the children's room, storage boxes and crates made of wood or fabric are particularly suitable.

Here you can quickly store all the toys – and easily take them out again when needed! At HABA you'll also find boxes, which can also be used as seat cubes and thus save a lot of space. Also practical coat-storage boxes that not only allow jackets and tidy-up bags to be hung, but also accommodate items at the same time.

Raised platforms with built-in drawers are also a suitable way to create storage space. They can also visually divide the room into different zones.

Setting up a girl's room

Girls often particularly enjoy setting up their room and decorating it in detail. You can opt for classic girls' colors and themes can be chosen – but that's by no means a must!

Not every girl likes a pink princess room – above all, you should ask whether such a setup will still appeal to your child in two years!

Just ask your little one about her preferences and design the room accordingly. String lights or lanterns, pretty themed cushions, bunting, curtains or other accessories can create wonderful cozy accents and make girls' hearts beat faster. In the HABA shop you'll find many beautiful furnishing ideas for girls.

Designing a boy's bedroom

Boys tend to prefer something a bit more understated and not quite as playful as girls — but that's only a tendency. If your little one wishes for floral motifs or a pink wall in his room, accommodate those non-traditional preferences too!

Many boys in kindergarten and elementary school become passionate about a particular sport like soccer or have a special interest in a specific theme like vehicles or space.

Let these preferences influence the design of the child's room! HABA offers themed cushions, rugs, bedding and many other furnishings across a wide variety of themes that will make a child's heart beat faster. There should still be plenty of room for the occasional poster of a favorite athlete or action hero!
