5 Clever Ways to Use Letters in a Kid’s Room

Fun, functional and full of personality — here’s how to style wooden alphabet letters like a pro.

Creating a space that feels truly personal is part of the magic of decorating your child’s room. Wooden alphabet letters and name signs are a playful, practical way to do just that — and with over 45 custom colours to choose from, they’re easy to style in any space.

Here are 5 creative and clever ways to use letters in your child’s bedroom, nursery, or playroom.

1. Spell Out Their Name as Wall Art

A classic for a reason — name signs make your child feel seen and special. Spell their name in colourful wooden letters above the bed, cot, or toy shelf. Choose bold, contrasting colours or soft tones to suit your theme.

👉 Tip: Mix letter colours for a rainbow effect or go tonal for a soft, Scandi-inspired look.

2. Use Letter Wall Hooks for Functional Décor

Our alphabet wall hooks aren’t just cute — they’re actually useful. Hang up dress-ups, hats, or school bags and keep the floor clutter-free (well… most of the time). Kids love having their own special hook.

👉 Bonus: You can choose the perfect colour to suit your style!

3. Create a Reading or Play Nook

Add oversized wooden letters to mark a special corner — like a “READ” nook or a “PLAY” zone. It gives kids ownership of their space and encourages them to use it (especially when it’s super cute).

👉 You could even let your little one pick the colours themselves!

4. Celebrate Initials

Don’t want to go all out with a full name? A single oversized letter makes a bold statement. Use it as a feature piece above a bed or on a shelf. You can even pair it with framed art or fairy lights for extra flair.

👉 Match the colour to their bedding or a favourite toy for a cohesive look.

5. Make Milestones Extra Special

Wooden letters can also be used for birthday photos, baby milestones, or shelf styling. Add their age in letters, or use the first letter of their name in a flat lay. A beautiful keepsake that grows with them!

👉 Store them easily and reuse for party decorations or shelf styling later on.
