A COCOON FOR YOUR CHILD

With the new normal, a child's bedroom must often be a do-it-all space. Fun, safety and practicality are key factors to keep in mind when redesigning the space. We bring you insights from five experts

MINIMALISM IN THE NURSERY

While there are many elements involved in decorating a nursery, the most important is the furniture. Choose furniture first before designing the rest of the space.

The four main pieces to get are the crib, dresser, changing table and feeding chair. Functionality is key as it makes the space safe for toddlers and mothers, and creates a pleasant and relaxing environment.

SERENITY WITH PASTELS

The modern children's room embodies imaginative design schemes. The space must be engaging and exciting, rather than loud and overpowering.

Soft pastels, gentle colour variations and a multitude of textures evoke peace and calm.

Patterned wooden flooring, simple and elegant mouldings on the walls, and interesting shapes and forms create infinite stimulation in young minds.

STIMULATING WITH COLOUR AND DESIGN

Bright, stimulating and full of exciting design elements, this room has been created keeping the growing child's needs in mind. An arched reading nook into which one can scramble up, a bed with enough soft cushioning all around, and lots of tactile and textural materials to explore... it's a magical world.
