Why Farmhouse Works for Kids Rooms
Farmhouse can work well in a kids room when you balance the style's core elements with the room's functional needs. Focus on shiplap and beadboard while ensuring the space still serves its purpose: kids rooms serve multiple functions: sleeping, playing, studying (as they age), storing toys and clothes, and providing a safe, personal space for the child. the design should support development, encourage creativity, and adapt as the child grows. Select materials like Shiplap or Reclaimed wood that can handle the demands of this room.
When designing a farmhouse kids room, consider managing toy and stuff accumulation. Farmhouse design typically addresses this through painted furniture. Also keep in mind the room's bright ambient lighting for play and toy storage (bins, baskets, shelves) when selecting furniture and finishes.
