Kids room decor, furniture and bedding ideas for kids rooms.
Kids room. Is it time for kids room decoration? Did your baby grow enough to ask for his or her own room with his favourite theme or colours and art on the walls? Some parents, who wants to be ideal in everything try to give some perfect view to their kids rooms. To my mind it is both boring and useless, cause your child will turn his room in to something totally different even if you do not want it, so why not to listen to him from the beginning? Both boys and girls like to decorate their rooms cause it is not just a bedroom but a whole world that they share with friends and dreams. Boys room is not always in blue and girls room is not always in pink like you may think. And what is for sure – do not decorate your child’s room for future. When he is a teen you will think about it again, but not now. So lets turn to our kids.
What to start with? First of all let’s think what you kid does in his room? Sleep, play, read, study, listen to music and meet friends? Just think how much you should do for all this in a small kid room!
Small room decorating. If your kid rooms are small, it is better to read small room decorating ideas before you start. It is not a good idea to overcrowd small rooms. If the room is too small it is better to put kids bed and wardrobe for clothes only, so it still can be light and fresh. It is very important for a child to sleep in a room with good air circulation. So let’s start?
1. Kids room paint. The colour of your kids room must be light in any way. Ask you child what colour she or he wants, so if your kids says blue, you paint it in light blue and so on. Lighter the paint – larger and fresher the room looks. There is no need to paint walls in white. But if you do not really what colour to choose – the ideal is beige.
2. Kids room furniture. Depending on how large the kids room is you can buy wardrobe, shelves, chairs, sofa and other furniture units. Always prefer natural wood and wood colours that plastic and bright colours. Bright colour are good for play but not for sleep, later you can make the room brighter with colourful accessories.
3. Kids room bedding. As I have told before it is recommended to buy wooden furniture. As for bed sizes – prefer wide beds than narrow ones. Narrow beds are cheaper but it is really not very comfortable to sleep on a narrow bed. It is better to pay a bit more, so you kid can feel itself a prince or a princess. Speaking about princes and princesses – it is time to decide if you will decorate your kids room with some certain theme like Disney, barbie, spider man, winx or any other cartoon themes that your child adores. Advantage of themed kids room bedding is that it is not not expensive to change bed sheets that to paint walls in another colour. Ones you kid loves another hero, you just change his bedding.
4. Kids room curtains. The same is about curtains for kids rooms. There are a lot of themed curtains for sale. Sometimes bedding and curtains are sold like a set with some curtain theme. Changing curtains is also not expensive and you can change your kids room’s design just by replacing curtains.
5. Kids room decor. Cars for boys, dolls for girls, we always think standard. Forget about it. Ones furniture and bed is ready, let your child to do all the rest organization. Toys, posters, flowers and even shelves for them! Carpet or rug – maybe themed too.
You, as a parent have to think about how secure is his room, the other things let your child think. Even if the posters are disgusting to your mind, do not think they will stay there forever, you kid will change them one day. Help your child to part his room in to areas like playing and studying areas. Buy some containers for toys and games, do not allow kids belongings to be dusty, it is not healthy – but let him place some most favourite toys on the shelves.
The most popular other themes for kids room decorating: race cars, airplanes, dinosaurs, firehouse, angels, starry night, rainbows, underwater, trains, jungles, forests, baseball, football, basketball, princess, flowers, sweet pets, sea, camping and many others. Just do not paint your kids room in dark colours, it is better to choose bright colours for accessories like lambs, frames, toys, small rugs and pillows.
