Learn key tips in building your child’s dream bedroom
Many think that planning for a kid’s bedroom is an easy peasy thing for as long as there is a comfortable bed for your child then that’s it. Argus Builders, a Davao Construction Firm believes that planning for this type of room has to be as important as planning your kitchen or your living area.
It is a place where you kids stay most of the day, learning, growing and discovering about themselves. This has to be carefully planned and strategically built. How? Argus Builder Project Engineer June Gemang shares the three Golden Rules in kicking off your child’s bedroom construction which are; plan a few years ahead, plan for the possible bedroom activities, and make it a goal to provide extra bigger spaces inside.
Sleeping
“When children get into bed they want to feel safe and cozy,” Engr Gemang emphasizes.
She said a headboard goes a long way to promoting these feelings. If the bed is against a wall it can be fun if the headboard goes round the side and along the length of the bed. This is also a bonus if your child ever wants to read or study while sitting on the bed, or have friends into their bedroom as the bed effectively doubles as a sofa.
Dressing
Every room needs a wardrobe or closet and the space to dress, including your kids’ room. Engr. Gemang reminds parents to secure privacy from the outside for getting dressed.
“If you have young children you may want to consider putting in a translucent window treatment so that your kids don't have to remember to close the curtains in order to keep things private every time they get dressed.” she added.
If you're stuck for space and you're designing a bedroom for a small child, measure the coat hangers you're planning to use. You might be able to get a wardrobe into a space thinner than the standard 24in (61cm) space.
For those who plan to have big and deep storage for clothes that don't fit your child anymore but still keep it for future plans, place them in another area of your home to maximize space in the kid’s bedroom.
Playing
Engr. Gemang said depending on the age of the child, playing can mean very different things. It might mean Hot wheels or dolls houses. Getting older might mean Lego or Books. By tween stage there might be hobbies to accommodate. Whatever the age there's often other children involved be it play dates or more like a social children club.
“Playing needs space and storage. I'll say it again. Playing needs space and storage. Storage, storage, storage,” she added.
To create space and storage consider installing bunk beds even if the room is only for one child. Consider putting a few heavy duty hooks into the ceilings and/or walls. These can be used for quickly rigging up dens, hanging hammocks or hanging swinging shelves.
