The Children's Desk: Trends and tips for a stylish and functional interior

CLover Living Styling yourself

A children's desk is no longer a corner in the children's room where pencils are stored. No, it is the place where learning, playing and creativity come together. 


But how do you ensure that your little one's desk is not only practical, but also fits perfectly with today's interior design trends? We'll dive into the hottest styles and trends, and show you how you can apply them to a children's desk that shines in your home.

Japandi: Zen and Minimalism


Japandi is a mix of Scandinavian and Japanese design: minimalist, soothing and functional. This style is all about natural materials, soft colors and a tidy look. Think light wood, linen fabrics and green accents. 


For a children's desk in this style, choose clean lines, subdued colors such as cream, beige or wood tones, and perhaps a subtle planter as decoration. Make sure there's enough storage space to keep everything tidy – a feature that Japandi loves.


Tip: Add a rug in neutral tones to give it extra warmth. Discover our rugs here .

Scandinavian Simplicity: Functional and playful

Scandinavian look

Scandinavian design has been a favorite for years, and for good reason. It combines playfulness with functionality. Think light woods like beech, playful accents in pastel colors, and a focus on ergonomics. 


A children's desk in this style can be an eye-catcher, but in a modest way. For example, choose a desk with rounded corners and finish it off with a colorful chair or a poster on the wall.


Pro Tip: Use storage solutions such as wall shelves to keep the space airy and organized. Check out our children's desks here.

Jolie Laide: Embrace Imperfection

The latest trend to conquer the internet is Jolie Laide, or "pretty ugly". This style challenges you to embrace imperfection. 


Think of contrasts: a sleek children's desk combined with a vintage lamp or a cheerfully kitschy trash can. It's all about mixing elements that may not match perfectly, but together create a characterful atmosphere.


For a children's desk in this style, you can experiment with bright colors, a unique desk lamp, or even an unexpected texture like a velvet stool. Dare to mix and match; Nothing is too crazy.


Venture Tip: Combine old and new. A sleek modern desk with a thrift store immediately gives that 'Jolie Laide' vibe. Look for accessories here .

AI-inspired design: technology meets creativity

One surprising trend that is gaining ground is AI-inspired interior design. This is about futuristic shapes, smart features and a touch of tech. Think of children's desks with built-in lighting, smart storage systems or an integrated whiteboard. 


The look? Clean lines, metallic accents and lots of white. This is ideal for parents and children who love innovation and like to move with the times.


Tech Tip: Add smart accessories like a wireless charger or a desk organizer with LED lights for a futuristic touch.

Timeless children's desk Style: authenticity and simplicity

The trends of 2025 show that we are becoming more and more conscious about the design of our homes. It's no longer about quick trends, but about spaces that reflect your personality, local craftsmanship and sustainable quality.


For a children's desk , this means choosing solid materials. Think of furniture made of certified wood, with an eye for detail and a design that can last for generations. Timeless style is created by authenticity and simplicity – a children's desk that is functional and at the same time a design piece with lasting character.
