How to Decorate a Child’s Bedroom
Decorating doesn’t have to be a chore or expensive, especially when kids are involved. Here are some tips on how to decorate a child’s bedroom:
1. When the children bring home drawings and paintings home from school, pop them in frames and hang them on the wall. This provides an initial colour scheme and idea. The child will really appreciate their works of art being on show.
2. Choose the correct bed. If you’re tight on space, get bunk beds. Kids love bunk beds as they’re fun to climb on, can have exciting additions and it leaves a lot of floor space to play on. Bunk beds can come with wardrobes and drawers underneath, shelving and sofas and some even have slides attached. If you do have a larger budget, beds in the shape of cars and princesses’ castles are a must have to make the child love the room and enjoy sleeping by themselves.
3. Curtains, lampshades, carpet, wall paper and duvet covers. They don’t have to be expensive if you’re choosing a common theme, even if it’s just a colour. For example, if you keep everything blue in a boys room and keep it quite neutral, rather than themed, it will last them further into their years.
4. Think unbreakable. When furnishing a child’s room, don’t purchase delicate ornaments or buy a white duvet cover. They won’t last. Don’t buy a bed that will break when jumped on, it also won’t last. Shop around and read reviews to confirm the durability of furniture.
5. Have fun. Let the child help with process and let them understand the work behind decorating a room. Let their creative side free, so that when they’re snuggling down in their new bunk bed, under their new funky lampshade; they’ll feel a sense of achievement too.
