How to Prepare Your Child's Room for Summer: 9 Helpful Tips

With the arrival of good weather, long days, and a desire to play nonstop, children's rooms also need to adapt. At Muba Bespoke, we believe that every space should evolve with the seasons and the real needs of each child, especially in summer, when rest, order, and free play take center stage.

If you're thinking about transforming your little ones' bedroom for the warmer months, here's a complete guide. More than just a list of ideas, this is a practical and comprehensive approach to creating a healthy, harmonious environment designed for enjoying the summer.

How to adapt the children’s room for summer

1. Plan according to your routine and stage: more functionality, less empty aesthetics

Before changing textiles or moving furniture, observe how your child uses their room during the summer. Where do they spend most of their time? Do they sleep well in the heat? Do they need more space to move around or play?

Custom children's design allows you to adapt the space to their actual routines, not just a pretty picture. At Muba Bespoke, we work with each family to design rooms that evolve with them: from convertible cribs to adjustable desks and accessible storage solutions.

2. Natural, light and washable textiles: your best allies

Cotton, linen, or muslin are perfect fabrics for the warmer months: breathable, pleasant to the touch, and easy to wash. Swapping heavy curtains for sheers or adding a double-gauze bedspread can make a big difference in the warmth.

Muba Council:

Choose soft tones such as off-white, sand, aqua green, or light blue to enhance the light and provide visual freshness.
Add a thin cotton rug that can be easily washed and allows for comfortable floor play.

3. Natural ventilation and light: two keys to comfort

If the room allows, encourage cross-ventilation by opening two opposite vents during the cooler hours. The orientation of your furniture also plays a role: avoid placing your bed or desk so that it blocks the light.

When designing a child's bedroom, we always prioritize the placement of each element to maximize natural lighting and airflow.

4. Modular furniture that adapts to summer

During the summer, children are more active and need to move freely. Ideally, choose furniture that allows you to rearrange the space according to the season:

Compact beds or beds with lower storage.
Folding or mobile desks.
Accessible, safe and multifunctional shelving.

At Muba Bespoke, we design each piece of furniture taking into account not only the available space, but also the actual use the family will give it.

5. Create small thematic spaces: reading, art, or sensory play

You don't need a huge room to divide it into zones. With a good layout and functional furniture, you can create:

Creative corner : a low table, art supplies, and a chair adapted to your height.
Reading area : a corner with cushions, a warm lamp and accessible stories.
Sensory space : baskets with natural materials (stones, fabrics, water, sand) that are easy to collect.

6. Visual order and autonomy: essential for your well-being

Summer invites you to declutter. Fewer objects in sight, less visual clutter, and more peace of mind. Temporarily remove winter clothes, reorganize your closet, put away large toys, and keep only the essentials.

Custom-made furniture allows you to design storage solutions that help children participate in organizing and gain independence.

7. Update your decor with small summer details

You don't need to redecorate the entire room to achieve a summery feel. You can add small elements that add color, freshness, and a seasonal touch:

Illustrations of nature, sea or travel.
Cotton string lights.
Cushions with fun shapes (fruits, suns, animals).
Sheets or vinyls with natural or summer motifs.

8. Safe, sustainable materials designed for everyday use

During the warmer months, children are more in contact with their surroundings: they play barefoot, sleep with less clothing, and touch more surfaces. Therefore, furniture materials should be as natural and safe as possible.

At Muba Bespoke, we work with certified solid wood, non-toxic water-based varnishes, and high-quality hardware. We design with your health, the durability of the furniture, and the responsible use of resources in mind.

9. Involve children in transforming their space

Preparing your room for summer can also be a family plan. Ask them what they want to change, what colors they like, or what corner they'd like to rediscover.

When children are part of the process, they feel more connected to their room and more motivated to take care of it.

In summary

Transforming a child's room in summer isn't just about decorating it differently; it's about adapting it to how children live, rest, and play during this season. It's the perfect time to simplify, create space for movement, promote order, and prioritize comfort.

At Muba Bespoke , we design custom rooms that accompany each stage of growth, even in summer. Because a well-thought-out environment is one that inspires, nurtures, and supports.
