Tips for decorating your child’s room
Here are a few tips to help you get started with decorating your child’s room. The best part about this is that your child can help you do it this time around. So this can be a fun project you can do together!
1. Select a new color to paint the walls, a color that your child likes. If you have a strong objection to it, though, negotiate with perhaps a lighter version of that color, or limiting their color choice to only one wall. (Or, encourage them to put up some nice posters to lessen the wall color’s impact!)
2. Mood lighting! Kids of all ages enjoy mood lighting of one sort or another. Together, select a night light, a small novelty lamp with a low-wattage bulb, or an interesting colored or black light bulb lamp. Other lighting effects kids enjoy include disco lights, dog statues, flowers with light effects, and glow in the dark items.
3. Bedspreads. Get rid of baby blankets and exchange for favorite cartoon throws or bed covers. When they are teenagers, they might enjoy sports, frilly or even more adult taste bed coverings.
4. Personalize something for their bureaus or their walls, with their names and/or photographs. Photos can be made into a collage. Exchange those baby and stork photo frames with an upgrade to novelty photo frames. Try one with hearts, a sports theme or a safari look, for instance. Engraved stones with your child’s name or an inspirational thought and personalized acrostic poem name prints are fun and unique decor idea that kids enjoy. Engraved name stones become long-lasting gifts and keepsakes. Acrostic name prints use the letters of your child’s name to start off self-esteem enhancing phrases that can inspires your child and highlight their special talents and interests.
5. Create a comfort zone area in the room, for cuddling up cozy and reading. You can use big pillows, plush or inflatable chairs, anything your child might enjoy to sit on and relaxing in. You will also want to conveniently have some books placed within their arm’s reach. You can also place some music equipment by that area for them to enjoy. And if there is room, add an additional seating space for you. Then together you can enjoy reading, listening to music, or simply chatting with each other. If you have a teenager, they will likely want to have another seating space for you or their friends to use.
6. Together with your child, agree on a wall paper border that you can use to decorate their room with. This idea can be besides or used instead of painting their room. Adding or changing a wall paper border can be a very simple and quick way to change the look and feel of your child’s room.
