Bedtime routines are an important part of a child's daily routine. Many studies have shown that children get a better recharge with happy and healthy habits that make falling asleep easier. One key aspect of a child's bedtime routine is having the right furniture in their room. This can be useful in creating a cosy and inviting environment in their bedroom, allowing them to relax and transition into a peaceful night's sleep. 

Kids Haven is a leading online furniture retailer in Singapore, and this article explores some must-have furniture pieces to include into your child’s bedtime routine. 

A bookcase for your little bookworm

If your child loves to read, a bookcase is a must-have furniture item in their bedroom. A bookcase not only keeps their books organised and easily accessible but also adds a touch of charm and personality to their room. Look for a bookcase that is child-friendly with rounded edges and sturdy construction. You may also choose a bookcase with multiple shelves to accommodate their growing book collection, and opt for one with adjustable shelves to customise the storage space for different book sizes.

Encourage your child to participate in selecting books to display on the bookcase, and arrange the books in an appealing way, such as by colour or theme, to make it visually appealing. Having a dedicated space for their books will foster a love for reading and make bedtime stories a delightful part of their bedtime routine.

A bedside table to store their blankets and soft toys 

A bedside table is a practical furniture item that serves as a convenient place for your child to store their blankets, soft toys, and other bedtime essentials, keeping their bedroom neat and organised.

Choose a bedside table that complements the overall theme and style of your child's room. Look for one with a durable surface that can withstand spills and stains, and consider a bedside table with drawers or shelves for additional storage. This provides your child with a place for their favourite soft toys, and even a glass of water, making it a functional and comforting addition to their bedtime routine.

Lampshade with warm lighting

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating a calming and soothing atmosphere in your child's bedroom. A lampshade with warm lighting can create a cosy atmosphere and set the mood for bedtime. Choose a lampshade with a soft and diffused light to avoid harsh glares that can disrupt your child's sleep.

Opt for a lampshade with a design that complements your child's room decor and consider a lamp with adjustable brightness settings such that the lighting can be customised according to your child’s preference. Avoid bright or cool-toned lighting as it can interfere with your child's natural sleep-wake cycle. Instead, go for warm and gentle lighting that promotes relaxation and helps your child wind down for a good night's sleep.
