Shelf for children's room

July 6, 2021

Shelves are often considered small bathroom or kitchen furniture. But nothing is more trendy than installing one above the changing table in the baby's room. Or at child height to allow him to put away his books himself for example. We can install them everywhere, in the playroom to tidy up, in the bedroom to sort books, in a baby's room to store cotton buds, diapers and others. In short, you will have understood that we are already won over by the object. In this article, we wanted to make a selection of the cutest shelves that are currently on the market.

The mix of wood, rattan and plants is really tasteful. The boho, bohemian chic trend is really super present in the decorations of baby or child's room.

1- The DIY wooden shelf:

Nothing could be simpler to create this model yourself. If you are a bit of a handyman, this wooden shelf model is made for you. Simple and effective, we love this refined side.

You will find this type of wooden or metal brackets in all DIY stores. Here we have opted for an entirely wooden version. Two brackets to fix to the wall and a solid wood board screwed onto the brackets and that's it. It's up to you to find the decoration that will highlight your work.

This model is impressive and above all it won't cost you much. As long as you choose a quality wood like oak for the shelf. Don't choose it too thin or the balance between the thickness of the brackets will not be respected.

2 - FLISAT from IKEA:

At Ikea, we are smart but we don't teach you that. This FLISAT shelf in light oak is a marvel. In your children's room you can use it in a thousand ways. Right side up to install small decorations or children's reading books. Or upside down to create a small dressing room with your child's outfits of the day. This model is very minimalist and that's what we love. It comes in different lengths to match your decor and especially with the place where you have decided to install them.

The accumulation of 3 shelves as below is super pretty. The first two wooden shelves are placed right side up and the last one is deliberately placed upside down. With small hangers on the round bar, you can hang the clothes for the next day. Thus placed, you still have a shelf part to arrange the baby's little decoration.

3 - A two-material shelf:

For those who love wood but not only, here are 2 models with metal brackets. The model below is a DIY that you can easily make. All you have to do is go to the nearest DIY store and buy metal brackets, they come in all shapes. For the board as above we recommend a nice solid wood board.

If your decor is a little more modern, this is the model you should go for. In this pastel-colored room, the idea is to use the material mix of the pretty rattan armchair with metal legs. The harmony of materials is really pretty.

The shelf below with metal brackets is a creation of the ROSE IN APRIL brand. These shelves are available in a variety of colors, which you can match to the color of your child's room. The brand has 12 colors and 3 models of wall shelves.

Another nice brand that we wanted to share with you for this selection of shelves for the child's room is FLEXA PLAY. It is a Danish brand that has incomparable know-how.

You will love this book shelf. You just need to install it at child height so that it becomes both decorative and practical. The color range of these wooden wall shelves is pastel. As in this image, we can only advise you to mix the colors. The charm should not take long to operate with such a wall decoration. Ideal for a child's room, you can display their favorite books there.

This cute shelf that we have seen everywhere for 4/5 years is none other than a Ferm Living. We still fall for these little houses placed next to each other. In wood and pastel colors, they will definitely match the decor of your son or daughter's room.

4 - Industrial style shelves:

The last model of children's bedroom shelf that we wanted to present in our selection is this slightly industrial model. It is terribly reminiscent of the racks in a warehouse. And that is really the idea that we want to keep by installing this type of storage in our child's room.

Here we can well imagine that you have to go for it and fit out a whole wall of shelves. This model is very easy to install. Aim two vertical strips at the wall, then fix the metal brackets on your wooden boards and that's it. The shelves can be moved around and adjusted in height. This modular furniture will be perfect for your baby's room as well as your teenager's room! By choosing this model you are choosing durable and modular furniture.

The last shelf can be used as a small desk, it's charming.

5 - A rattan shelf

For the most trendy moms, you certainly haven't missed the rattan trend. Rattan shelves are practical and so pretty. Rattan is a material that is easily associated with the world of childhood. Rattan is a natural and soft material.

We have selected this rattan shelf to furnish your child's room. This model is quite compact so you can easily fit it in the room of your choice.

Choose a model that is the right size and with plenty of storage. This model is perfect for small spaces. If your child's room allows it, play the rattan card to the max. Simple rattan shelves or rainbow-shaped ones. A rattan chest of drawers to store clothes. You will also find rattan rainbows in the same theme to decorate your walls.
