  • COMMON DESIGN MISTAKES for Kid's Bedrooms (What to Do Instead!)
    Welcome back to the common design mistakes series! Today, we are discussing kids’ bedrooms, from the young toddler, to a teenager, to the young adult phase. Namely that transition period where they are ever-growing, ever-evolving with their lifestyle and hobbies. How do we, as parents, keep up with their changing needs while prioritizing budget, functionality, and style?
    In this video, I am breaking down the TOP TEN most common design mistakes I see made in kids’ bedroom designs and offer my tips on how to effectively resolve them.

    The size of many kids rooms won’t accommodate adult furniture. I slept in a twin bed until I got married. You should do a video on kids rooms when the room is small.

    I love your videos and they are always filled with great tips. This one has great tips for older kids. However, I don’t necessarily agree about making a kids room look like as as you have shown here. Especially for younger kids. Full size beds takes up valuable real estate in a kids room that are typically on the smaller side. I let my kids help design their room and so what if they looks childish. They are only a kid once. Let them have fun!

      True. I remember my bedroom which was the size of a closet, it fit a bed and a desk with barely room to walk between. My mom always tried to make it look nice. I came home from school one day and had painted mirror tiles on my wall - pink contact paper with white flowers, and green trim. It was really cute! yolo!

    Not all of this are mistakes every time I think. Like, everyone has there own style and a white room or a colorful wall for example can also be great! It also doesn’t always have to be perfectly designed after what’s written in a book at designers school. You do you, guys!

    “ the key to decorating a kid’s room is curating investment pieces that can work for any age” so true ❤️ . My partner and I don’t have kids yet, but recently we visited our friends after a year, the wife had a kid last year and she said something very similar when we were in their house. That way it saves money and energy to go out buy furniture and it’s eco friendly too . Love you videos and contents , always learn something watching your videos

  • @lovegoodss6162
    @lovegoodss6162 2 роки тому +9

    I found some of your tips really helpful. However, I do think furniture in children's size is useful. Especially for toddlers, they won't be able to open the high drawers, or sit on normal chairs comfortably, also they might fall out of a queen size bed in the middle of the room. I rather buy fitting furniture second hand, well knowing we probably only use it for 5 years. Unless a second one comes around 😁 also restyling the room now and then is a great way to get creative and express your growing personality. As a child, I loved it when we rearranged my room or changed the walls or I got a new piece of furniture after some years

    My grandkids stay over often and have their own room in my home. I agree with purchasing quality pieces from the get-go, vs. the kiddie stuff, but I don’t agree that kids under 18 need anything over a twin size bed. Also, quality pieces can be bought 2nd hand for a fraction of new. I found a PB bed for $50 off of FB Marketplace. Solid piece that can literally last generations.

    • @peelit4610

    Wonderful work julia👌. Plz guide for urban / city garden . If a house doesn’t have any space even for a small lawn or backyard , how can we add greenery outdoor to give luxurious look. My current house does have around 1300 Sq feet lawn which my husband had beautifully maintained . But our new permanent house will have have only around 150 sq feet open space at one side of porch . This space is just outside/ next to drawing room window . What dramatic things I could do . There would also be a 4 ‘ wide alley at one side and back all along the house . What could I do to the wall to make it beautiful when being inside . Thanks ... also tell about terraces and balconies

    Hi Julie, I have a request for your expert opinion on rugs. I just ordered a 100% viscose rug and I read horrible things about the material post factum:) What is your advice on materials for rugs? Is viscose that bad (I still love the look)? What about hides and sheepskin?

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  3 роки тому +1

      Viscose is great for vacuuming and cleaning- the synthetic fiber doesn’t shed and you can use a wet vacuum for spills. But since it’s synthetic, it sometimes feels cheap and thin. Hides are genuine leather and sheepskin is thick and heavy. Think about the usage and flow of traffic. The heavier the flow, the more durable the rug should be. I have a huge area rug video for more tips Maria! Check it out 👍🏻

    I love the video. It's very informative & has a lot of great tips in it. However, as a mom of an almost 4 yr old toddler, a lot of these room ideas seem more geared twords teens/adults vs younger kiddos in my opinion. Idk about you all, but my son wouldn't be asking or wanting these type of designed rooms that are more grownup, mature. These kind of rooms I feel you would find in a show house thats for sale or a rental property. I don't agree with getting a bigger bed like a queen right off the bat & purchasing adult sized furniture especially if you have a toddler. Yes I get the reasoning behind it like it saves you lots of $, grows with your child etc. but whats the point of having furniture that they can't open themselves & use. You would have to do everything for them still, which defeats the purpose of helping your kiddos be independent. For me I don't mind spending the $ on furniture their size like a bed, or dresser & my son loves his independence to do things himself I think he'd get mad or frustrated if he always had to wait for me to do everything for him.

    I appreciate all the knowledge and experience that you devoted here, but, sincerely, with exception of those cartoon character's rooms, most would prefer the "no's" rooms. The childhood takes a little bit of time, if well planned, by the time they're teens, the family would be able to make a transformation. And if not, the teenager will start knowing how to work for it e make it as it wants.
