A children’s room must first and foremost be friendly for the child and functional for the parent. It absolutely needs space for both study and play. For furniture to last longer, it has to be solid, comfortable, and visually appealing, complementing the overall design of the house. Scandinavian furniture is definitely one such option, as it provides an airy look and a sense of order. Keeping the room tidy helps maintain a child’s mental balance—vital for ensuring they feel happy at the mere thought of spending time in their own personal space.
How to Decorate a Children’s Room for Play?
A six-year-old already gets homework in preschool. These seemingly easy tasks (coloring pictures, solving puzzles or riddles) require a comfortable and pleasant space. A minimalist desk is enough for this purpose—it takes up very little room, leaving plenty of space for a sizable play area and other practical furniture.

If your child’s room has so far been furnished with plastic pieces, it’s worth switching to wooden furniture. Wood is definitely healthier because, unlike synthetic materials, it emits positive, “living” energy. This translates into better sleep, calmer play during the day, and an easier time focusing on homework.
Therefore, consider adding modern solid wood furniture to your child’s room. To store toys, opt for the Glomma wooden dresser with drawers. These spacious drawers will hold toys now and can accommodate accessories later on when your child is older.
A stable oak dresser on metal legs helps keep the floor free of allergens. Thanks to the elevated design, you can easily clean underneath, eliminating dust. Next to the dresser, place a visually light Slott Scandinavian shelf with wooden shelves. It offers space for books as well as special toys, souvenirs, various gadgets, or potted plants.
Which Furniture to Choose for a Children’s Room to Save Space?
Fewer items and furniture in a child’s room means less chaos and better behavior—your child will be calmer and happier. The fewer things in the room, the less dust collects, which can reduce allergy symptoms. If you have your own design in mind (for example, a custom desk), there’s nothing to stop you from ordering made-to-order furniture.
Be sure that the wooden desks you order are at the right height—important for your child’s posture. For a piece that will stand the test of time, it should be high-quality, preferably made of hardwood. The oak Vogel desk is perfect in this respect.
If you’re looking for storage solutions in your child’s room, you’ve come to the right place! Invest in wall shelves. Choose ones sturdy enough to hold everything your child puts on them. The robust Kant wall shelf made of solid wood is perfect for heavy books. It’s also a good idea to add the Bakke bookcase, inspired by Scandinavian hills—a popular choice for both children’s rooms and other spaces in the home.
Maybe you’d like to combine design with the flexibility to adjust your furniture’s look and function? Look no further! The Noe bookcase is made entirely of oak, bringing warmth and security to any interior. It offers many configuration possibilities—turn it into a cozy bed for your pet, a cabinet, or a display to show off your children’s book collection.
Desks for Children to Study – Which to Choose?
A desk is usually placed facing a wall. This helps a child focus more quickly on their homework. Remember, however, to give them access to natural light. The light should come from the opposite side of their dominant hand (a right-handed child should have the window on their left, and a left-handed child should have it on their right).
If you want the child’s room to be as bright as possible, go for a white Scandinavian desk. White brightens the space and is easy on the eyes. This way, your child can focus longer on homework or play. You can opt for colorful or natural wood finishes for the rest of the furniture.
Colorful furniture is great in the play area, but for homework, place a minimalist white desk and hang solid wood shelves above it. These shelves can be white, but they don’t have to be—the white desk surface is the key. Avoid black desks, as black can tire the eyes quickly and feel overpowering, which isn’t ideal in a child’s room.
Selecting furniture for a child’s room can be a challenging task: you need to consider the type of furniture, its appearance, and how it will be used day to day. If you’re looking for furniture that’s both on-trend and functional, be sure to check out our collection of carefully curated products!
