While kids’ bedrooms invite you to introduce color, pattern, and more imagination than you might incorporate in a primary or guest bedroom, they need many of the same basic furniture pieces. Kids’ bedrooms tend to be more multifunctional than your typical bedroom, utilized for sleeping, playing, studying, storing toys, and hosting friends. While a parent may have a separate office and will typically host guests in the living room or another part of the house, a child’s bedroom often serves many purposes. So, what are the must-have pieces of bedroom furniture for kids?
- A Bed: Your child needs a bed, but the type of kids’ bed will depend on their age and stage. A daybed has a couch-like feel and often features a trundle bed, so it’s great for hosting sleepovers. A bookcase bed is great for extra storage, especially for a studious teen. Meanwhile, siblings who share a room can benefit from the addition of a bunk bed. A twin bed is a great option for most children, but you can opt for a full if you want a bedroom set they can grow into and keep for the long haul.
- A Nightstand: A nightstand offers a place to store belongings and easily retrieve items from the bedside. They can be used for practical purposes (like holding a lamp, keeping glasses and an alarm clock nearby) or for more stylistic purposes (holding picture frames and other accessories).
- Dressers and a Mirror: To store clothes and other items, dressers are essential. A mirror is an added bonus, especially when the bathroom is down the hall, so your child can do some of their getting ready in their room. A mirror also bounces light around the room, making it feel bigger and brighter.
- A Desk: It can be helpful to have a dedicated space for schoolwork in your child’s room. This can help them stay organized and focused.
- An Accent Chair: An accent chair provides another spot for your child or a friend to sit. It can be as traditional as a typical armchair or as relaxed and nontraditional as a bean bag chair.
- Added Storage: With toys, electronics, and school items, kids’ bedroom storage is essential. Consider a bed with storage drawers underneath, a wardrobe, a locker, or an upholstered bench at the end of their bed with hidden storage.
Ideas for Kids’ Bedroom Layouts
Of course, the number of children a bedroom will house largely determines the style and how many pieces of furniture it can hold. We’ve created a quick guide with checklist items to give you a better idea to tackle the space successfully.
1 Kid Bedroom Ideas
If you are designing a bedroom for just one kid, you can choose from any type of bed and a wide variety of kids’ bedroom furniture sets. Choosing a twin bed frame gives your child more floor space for playing or your teen more room for a desk or vanity. Opting for a full bed takes up more space but creates a space that your child can grow into over the years. If your child loves sleepovers, you can still choose a trundle, bunk bed, or a kids’ twin bed. This provides ample space for a desk, vanity, or toy box as well as a kids’ dresser and kids’ chest of drawers.
2 Kids Bedroom Ideas
If you are designing a bedroom for two kids, we recommend a kids’ twin bedroom set with an extra twin bed and nightstand. You could also buy a kids’ bunk bed set and purchase dressers, nightstands, and storage separately. Consider incorporating other functions into your space, like adding a desk or vanity, but plan out your layout for beds and dressers before adding any other furniture pieces.
3 Kids Bedroom Ideas
If you are designing a bedroom for three kids, you are likely to need a bunk bed along with an additional twin bed. A dresser or two will help store clothing, but you we suggest sticking to one storage piece so that you have more floor space for moving around and playing. An alternative is installing shelving in the room to increase storage without taking up floor space.
Popular Design Styles for Kids’ Bedrooms
Kids’ bedrooms often feature a lot of the same design styles that are popular in interior design in general. Sometimes, parents opt to keep their child’s bedroom within the same design style as the rest of the house while others will let it be an exception to the rule.
Contemporary Kids’ Bedrooms
Contemporary and modern bedrooms are likely to appeal to teens. These design styles embrace contrast like black and white with a bold accent color. They feel sleek, cool, and on-trend. They are also simple and free of clutter, so they help to create calming spaces for focused studying and restful sleep. Contemporary and modern kids’ rooms can be great spaces to incorporate a kids’ full size bedroom set to promote a feeling of sophistication.
Farmhouse Kids’ Bedrooms
Farmhouse design is at home in kids’ bedroom designs because it feels cozy, homey, and inviting. This is a great place to incorporate a kids’ white bedroom set into the space or to add texture with a rustic wooden bedroom set.
Traditional Kids’ Bedrooms
Traditional style is timeless and is a great choice for a kids’ bedroom. Quality wooden furniture in rich tones fits with a number of color palettes and can adapt to your kids’ different phases.

Bonus Kids’ Bedroom Ideas
Feeling inspired? Then take these top tips from our interior design experts with you while you build out the dream kids’ bedroom for your child.
✔ Don’t lean too heavily into a theme. While your kid loves outer space today, that may be a passing phase. Rather than sticking a pack of stars to the ceiling, choosing an outer space-themed bedspread, or painting a galaxy mural, incorporate the theme in less permanent ways. For example, choose a neutral bedspread and choose outer space-themed throw pillows.
✔ Lean into fun colors and patterns. Textiles are fairly easy to swap out, so don’t be afraid to let your child choose patterned sheets or a colorful bedspread. Half of the fun of designing a kids’ bedroom is being whimsical and fun. If your child decides they’re tired of the bedspread they have, consider putting it in the linen closet and swapping between the two bedspreads every six months to keep it feeling fresh and new.
✔ Try a gallery wall. Paint isn’t the only way to add personality to a room. If your child loves art and pictures of friends and family, try putting up a gallery wall. This encourages self-expression. You don’t have to worry about it going out of style, and you can easily take a frame down from the wall and swap out the picture inside as seasons and trends change. That’s much easier than repainting the whole wall because you painted it bubblegum pink!
✔ To create a calming kid’s bedroom, prioritize hidden and covered storage solutions. This will decrease visual stimulation. Another great way to create a calm space is to include a lot of varied, soft textures throughout the room.
