Increase Play Space in Your Child's Bedroom - Install Corner Wardrobes

It can sometimes be a challenge knowing how to decorate a child's bedroom. You want the bedroom to be neat and tidy, functional and to provide plenty of play space for your child. There are many ways to optimize space in a child's room, of which the corner wardrobe is one option.

Corner wardrobes are built to tuck nicely into a corner of a bedroom. While some are small as far as width goes, many can be quite tall, providing extra storage space up rather than across. This may not be very practical for a small child who cannot reach the upper levels but it can provide extra storage space for items such as winter clothing, coats, extra pillows and bedding, and small suitcases.

Usually the wardrobe will have drawers towards the bottom of the wardrobe, a space for hang up clothes in the middle and two sides, additional shelving on the sizes and shelves at the top of the wardrobe. Frequently white is a popular choice for children's bedroom furniture, which gives even more of an illusion of space.

You can find reasonably priced corner wardrobes at most furniture shops, including Lowes and Home Depot. If you are handy with tools and joinery you can also try to make one yourself, and save a considerable amount of money in doing so. First you will need to decide on the size and what material you will be using, and then search for some plans either online or in a magazine or book. It is not a project for the average person perhaps, but if you do have some skills along the handyman lines it can be both fun and money saving to build it yourself.

Other ideas for providing more play area in a child's room includes buying bunk-beds if two children share a room, trundle beds that fit underneath other furniture and pull out at night or nap time, and plenty of shelving on the walls. You can also find furniture that is designed specifically with saving space in mind, though these pieces are often fairly expensive. For example, there are bed and desk sets where the bed is on top, similar to a top bunk bed, while the underneath section is set up as a desk with drawers.

Careful planning of a child's room can help it to be nicely decorated yet very space saving and compact at the same time. Corner wardrobes are a big help in saving space, as is shelving and bunk or trundle beds.
