Introduction
Mr. and Mrs. Sharma wanted to create a vibrant and practical room for their 6-year-old daughter, Aanya. They envisioned a playful yet organized space where she could play, learn, and rest comfortably.
Our task was to design a 150 sq. ft. kids’ room that balanced aesthetics, functionality, and safety. The room needed distinct zones for sleeping, playing, and learning while maintaining a cohesive design.
Client Requirements

- Learning Space: A quiet, inspiring corner for studying and creative activities.
- Play Area: An engaging space for active play.

Challenges
- Space Constraints: Creating multiple functional zones in a small area.
- Durability: Selecting materials that can withstand wear and tear from daily use.
- Organizational Needs: Ensuring the room remained clutter-free despite toys and learning materials.
Our Approach
1. Design and Layout
- Zoning: Divided the room into three sections:
- Sleeping Area: Positioned the bed near the window for natural light.
- Learning Space: A compact study desk and chair in a quiet corner.
- Play Zone: Open floor space with a soft rug for active play.
- Furniture Placement: Opted for multi-functional furniture to save space.
2. Material Selection
- Furniture: Used rounded-edge, child-safe furniture with non-toxic finishes.
- Flooring: Installed vinyl flooring for durability and easy maintenance.
- Wall Treatments: Painted the walls with washable, non-toxic paint in pastel hues, complemented by a mural of Aanya’s favorite cartoon characters.
3. Storage Solutions
- Toy Storage:
- Installed modular shelves with colorful bins for toys.
- Added a toy chest with a cushioned top to double as seating.
- Books and Supplies:
- Floating shelves above the study desk for books and stationery.
- A pegboard for organizing art supplies.
4. Learning Space

- Lighting: Installed a desk lamp with adjustable brightness for focused lighting.
- Creative Touches:

- Corkboard for pinning drawings and school schedules.
5. Play Area
- Soft Flooring: Placed a colorful foam mat to cushion falls.
- Interactive Decor:

6. Safety Enhancements

- Child-Proofing: Installed corner protectors on furniture and soft-close hinges on storage units.
Result's
Berfore:
- The room was cluttered with toys and lacked a cohesive design.
- There was no designated space for learning or creative activities.
- The decor was dull and uninspiring for a child.
After:
- Organized Space: Modular storage kept toys and books neatly arranged.
- Dedicated Zones: Clear areas for sleeping, learning, and playing.
- Vibrant Design: Cheerful colors and playful decor transformed the room into an engaging environment.
- Safe and Durable: Child-friendly features ensured long-term usability and safety.
