Decorating your child’s bedroom can be an extremely rewarding experience. Decorating children’s rooms and buying furniture for kids is exponentially more fun than doing the same for adults, mainly because you have the liberty of being a lot more expressive.
Even so, the task can seem pretty daunting because you are constantly worrying about the final result not being good enough. So here are some tried and tested, trustworthy tips that can help you work in the right direction when you are working on your little one’s room:
A Fun Color Scheme
Before you start decorating the room with furniture and accessories, it is important to decide on a color scheme and then stick to it. Now, the old blue for boys and pink for girls is very outdated so why not amp it up a little?
Children’s rooms can look amazing with pastel shades in blues, pinks, lavenders, and mint greens. You can also go for more vivid colors like yellows and oranges as well. Getting furniture which perfectly contrasts with the colors on the walls can massively enhance the aesthetic in the room as well.
Cool Beds
Cool looking beds for children have been in style for many decades now. You don’t have to confine yourself to a simple single bed; you can go crazy with the shapes! Get around bed and a customized mattress to top it up with. You can also get a cool bunk bed with shelves if you have two kids sleeping in one room. There are hundreds of ideas floating about on the internet so go wild!
Art Corners
All children are crafty in their rights. If you give any child a paper and some crayons, the chances are that they will start drawing to their heart’s content.
So let your child find the inner Picasso in them by giving them just the space they need to show off their talent. Clear up a little corner in the room, put up a little table, fill the drawers with crayons, paints, papers, canvases and the like and your child can spend hours bringing out the fruits of their imagination.
You can even set up a small art gallery around and put up your baby’s masterpieces for everyone to see.
Playing Areas
If your child would have it their way, they will probably have their toys everywhere around the house. This way they also lose their toys and picking up afterward is also a pain. So why not make it easy for both of you and set up a little playing area in their room where they can play to their heart’s content and then pick up everything at the end of the day easily.
You can set up a castle or a tent in the area and make a basket for all the toys to be put back in after playtime is over for your little one.
Fairy Lights
Fairy lights or Christmas lights have been a much coveted aesthetic this year, and we believe that the trend is here to stay. So get your hands on a few strands of fairy lights and find a place or two to hang them up in, especially if you have a little girl!
You can frame a small art gallery in your kid’s room with these fairy lights. You can wind them up above their bed and use it as a night light, or do anything else that your heart desires!
Wall Art
Plain walls in a child’s room just doesn’t seem like a great idea, does it? Most children love child-centric art on walls, so we believe that they deserve it as well.
If you are good with a paintbrush, get some stencils, a bit of acrylic paint, and lots of newspapers and start adorning the walls with anything that your little one likes, like characters from a movie, a funky pattern, an imitation of the sky, you name it.
If you can’t do so well with a brush yourself, then you don’t have to worry. There are probably hundreds of artists around you just waiting to be commissioned for a project like this! Get in touch with them.
Shelves
Children have a lot of stuff. They get stuff on their birthdays, relatives and friends bring over things when they come over, and sometimes you cannot help but buy anything cute that you find for them.
So naturally, you need a lot of storage space to keep the stuff in as well. While drawers and cupboards are all great, shelves are probably the most convenient of them all. You can arrange stuff as you like or give your child the creative control of arranging their room as well.
Lamps
You can enhance the beauty of any room by putting up cute little lamps anywhere you see fit. There are many different kinds of lamps that you can get for children in the market or online. These lamps can be used as nightlights, reading lamps, or simply to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your child’s room.
