Top Winter Kids’ Bedroom Trends Even Adult Spaces Can Embrace

The world of kids is both unique and exceptional. We either tend to patronize this world or ignore it completely. Yet, there is a lot that we can learn from the little ones – especially on how to stay happy and upbeat even when a global pandemic is wreaking havoc around us. Maybe it is ignorance; maybe it is acceptance. Either way, the approach seems pretty fun! Also, as winter rolls, in, we came across several kids’ room trends that adult bedrooms and interiors would also benefit from. These are ideas that combine contemporary finesse with pattern and pops of color – kids’ bedroom trends for the winter that should inspire all.

The best kids’ bedrooms in recent times blend modern ergonomics with innovative finishes and textures to offer the best of both worlds. Dreamy at times and pragmatic on other occasions, different kids’ rooms demand different approaches. As we head into late fall, prepare for the Holiday Season and hope 2021 brings with it a drastically better year when compared to 2020, now is the perfect window to upgrade the kids’ room. From the stylish to the understated, this is a look at the hottest and most gorgeous trends –

Whimsical Wallpaper Charm

We know that wallpaper has been on the comeback trail for a while now. But for those who have not already tried it, or want to start small, the kids’ bedroom is the perfect space to dip your feet into things. Wallpaper for these rooms can be more colorful and diverse than those used in other spaces of your home. But, and this is the surprise of the season, this winter is seeing kids’ rooms where the wallpaper matches the modern charm of any other used in adult bedrooms! Winter 2020 is not just about flowers, wildlife motifs and jungle–themes. Dots, stripes, chevron and subtle patterns are all in.

Modern Sophistication with a Twist

Another theme that adult bedrooms can borrow, ‘modern sophistication’ sees a distinct move away from the ultra-cute and motif-filled kids’ bedrooms. These rooms are perfect for kids above 5 or 6 in age and they can easily transition into tween and teen bedrooms down the lone. A flood of bright colors all around is replaced by curated color blocks and a neutral backdrop that leaves plenty of room to shift between styles down the line. Use indoor plants and woodsy cabinets to add contrast to these spaces in winter while a change in bedding to more summery hues works as spring comes calling.

Twin and Bunk Bed Ideas

There was a long time when the idea of bunk beds was something that was strictly relegated to kids’ rooms and holiday homes. But with a bit of improvised design, this look is a great space-saver in the adult bedroom as well. If you do not need a bunk bed, then try out the loft bed instead and use the space underneath it as a work area. Need inspiration? The fabulous kids’ rooms below pull off the modern bunk bed look without ever creating a sense of clutter or claustrophobia. If your kids have been asking for a bunk bed instead of those twin beds, then this is the season for the space-saving upgrade.

    The clients are a couple of environmental scientists who, along with their two sons, relocated from the Oakland Hills to the warmer climate of Orinda. Their commitment to sustainability, including a request for net-zero energy performance annually, was evident in their thinking throughout the design process. A three-bedroom program began as a remodel of a 1954 ranch house at the foot of a hill next to a seasonal creek.  After finding the existing structure and soils to be unsuitable, the direction settled on reusing the existing footprint under the shade of a Valley Oak that had grown up close to the original house. The surviving portion of the original house is the fireplace which was wrapped in concrete and utilized for structural support. This made additional grading unnecessary and allowed the new house to maintain the same intimate relation to the old oak.  The family desired an open living layout that connected directly to the landscape. A mezzanine plan evolved with a double height family space nested with a master bedroom and study stacked above the kitchen and nook. A screened pacing deck for long phone calls shades the upper level from afternoon summer sun. Downstairs, secondary bedrooms along an extendable hallway, wrap an outdoor dining area situated between the kitchen and family room.  Construction materials and methods were considered in balance between first and lifecycle costs. The Corten steel rain screen for the exterior skin and interior wood were chosen to take advantage of zero annual maintenance cost and a shotcrete foundation allowed formwork to be repurposed for wood framing.  Single use material selections such as the Corten steel and shotcrete foundation reduced complexity in detailing and labor costs allowing a larger portion of the budget to be reallocated for upgraded mechanical, insulation, and glazing systems. The same attitude for interior finishes produced acoustically insulated, unfinished oak ceilings and walls. The sum total of the limited and landscape-driven materials presents a relaxed and quiet built environment that allows the senses to focus on the natural environment. A haptic connection to the rhythms of our planet is evident.  A 14-gauge Corten rain screen provides a no-maintenance skin. High levels of insulation and glazing efficiency reduce heating and cooling loads. An 8.1kW photovoltaic system provides on-site renewable energy and produced more electrical energy than the house used the first year. Rainwater is collected via a waterfall from the roof at the end of the hallway. Buried tanks store water for use in toilets and laundry. Greywater is collected separately and reused for irrigation. Electronically commutated motors and variable speed heat pumps are used to further limit energy use and control heating and cooling. An energy recovery ventilator is used to provide fresh air.
