Take a leaf from American singer-songwriter Halsey’s book and try creating a personal gallery wall in your child’s bedroom by hanging vibrant pieces of artwork, quirky wall coverings, as well as meaningful objects and decorations. You can also add items that carry a special memory, such as art that they have created or special objects that they collected on a holiday. This allows your child to feel an instant attachment to the room and creates a sense of nostalgia and warmth within the space.

If your young one is a huge fan of a single colour, go all out and create a monochromatic space drenched in the hue. Designed by Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt, North West’s bedroom is a pink haven. The firstborn of Kim Kardashian West and Kanye had strong input on how she wanted to decorate her space, with the giant butterfly headboard forming the visual focal point of the room.

Vervoordt broke up the monotony of the single colour by layering the space with various textures and tones. The designer also played with an asymmetrical layout with two different wall mirrors and bedside settings.
