Best Stores For Kid-Friendly Furniture And Decor
Cute, adorable furniture for you to spruce up your kid's room
By Terri Kue -
We don't know about you, but one of the best moments about being a parent is when we get to decorate our kids' rooms. Unlike when designing our own, we get to unleash our child-like creativity and let our inner child run free.
However, that also means that not everything that works for adults works for little ones. They require bright colours, shapes and prints - which are all said to play a part in inspiring them. Providing them with necessary play stations is also a must.
Below we have compiled a list of the best kid-friendly furniture and decor stores in Singapore to fuel your imagination and to help you create your child's dream room.
If you've been scrolling through Pinterest for decor inspiration, you've probably seen a few beds that incorporate play elements such as slides. Should you wish to get something similar for your child, Manis-h has a few interesting ones to check out.
Take your pick from a variety of loft beds, including the Manis-h Kids Semi Loft Bed with Slide - LOKE ($2072) and the Manis-h Middle Loft Bed - ASK ($2121).
You can also customise the bed frames with their bed accessories. One that caught our eye includes the Manis-h Kids Bed Climbing Wall ($478), a mini rock-climbing wall for your little one to scale up to their bed. The Manis-h Kids Bed Chalk Board ($333) is another good choice for children who love drawing. Better yet, it allows them to have fun in their own beds at night before bedtime!

Fun beanbags and wall decals. These two elements are the easiest way to turn a boring room into a haven for kids.
Piccolo House has a selection of cute bean bags to choose from. They all come with washable covers so you can make sure your child always plays in a clean environment. They have simple ones such as the Washable Bean Bag, Woodlands Animals ($168). But if you are looking for more unique picks (and who isn't?), then the Dinosaur Lounger Bean Bag Chair ($299) and the Unicorn Lounger Bean Bag Chair ($269) are adorable picks that any little one will love.
Does your kid love wild animals? If so, Piccolo House's wall decals will be great additions to their room.
They have prints of squirrels and hedgehogs, branches and sparrows, and tropical birds as well. These are priced at $45 each. If you are looking for more whimsical options, there are stars and moon sets as well as hot air balloons and planes. Sets are priced at $295 for one.

Want to create a cosy little corner in your child's room where they can play, read, or even take a nap? We recommend teepees and canopies to give your kid their own little area.
Cuckoo Little Lifestyle carries both. For canopies, they come with either fabric loops or metal hooks so you can fit them onto the ceiling. Canopy Mellow Yellow ($195) is a gorgeous muted shade that will put any youngling at ease. On the inside, it is fitted with fabric ties so that you can attach fairy lights to create a truly otherworldly experience for your little one. You can also wash it in the washing machine - no need to handwash it!
The teepees all come with four poles and a 100 per cent cotton cover with windows on each side. Priced at $285 each, they can be packed flat so that you can put them aside if it is not in use.
To truly make the area one of comfort, Cuckoo Little Lifestyle also carries its own cushions and pillows. From Watermelon Cushions ($55) to Star Cushions ($35) with lace details, there's no lack of options for any family.

When it comes to incorporating storage spaces in your kid's room, the most important factor to consider is their accessibility to it. You can't be getting cupboards too high for their little arms to reach.
Crate&Barrel carries low bookcases, nightstands, and more that are both cute and functional. The Rue Grey 6-Cube Low Bookcase ($839) features six different compartments for all your child's storage needs. Each shelf can hold up to 18kg of weight, which, if you ask us, is a lot.
There is also the Rue Midnight Blue 3-Cube Low Bookcase ($729) that only has one level if you are looking for something a little smaller.
Both come with anti-tip hardware that will stop the bookcases from tumbling over - perfect if you have kids that are a little clumsy.
For nightstands, Steamer Lane Natural Wood Kids Nightstand + Knobs ($729) is one that can be accentuated with blue knobs for a total of $739.95). It has rounded edges so that your little one won't hurt themselves too much if they run into it.
