Decorating children’s rooms
Decorating your child’s room can be a nightmare of tactful negotiation between unsightly colours of wall paint, quirky furniture they’ll tire of within the month, and storage solutions you know they’ll never use. To take the difficulty out of decorating your child’s room, there are some easy steps to keep you both happy.
- It’s important to involve your children. Decorating the room is a fantastic way to spend some fun time together. Deciding on a theme is the first step, whether it’s a football club, their favourite cartoon characters or a favourite book. Find something that your child loves and the theme will provide a platform on which to build the entire look of the room around.
- Once you’ve decided on a theme, the core colours of the room’s design should become apparent and you can apply the palette to most of the furniture in the room. Kidspace furniture at Littlewoods focuses on providing parents with décor solutions for kids’ rooms. Try browsing their online catalogue with your child. If you’re feeling particularly creative, set yourselves the challenge of building a mood board and a room layout to scale using print-out images of their favourite furniture. That way finding the perfect pieces to fill the room should be easy.
- It’s important to choose a single focal point for the room. This could be a fun bed, allowing you to reinforce your chosen theme for the room. Most importantly, this means that when your child’s taste changes, you can adapt this focal feature rather than having to revamp the entire room.
When it comes to building the theme around the focal point, use some imagination – both yours and your child’s. Wallpaper, paint and designs related to the theme are essential for helping you finish off the room, as well as furniture, fabrics and accessories.
Creating an all-encompassing theme should be a fun, rewarding experience for you and your child. Spending some time looking for the perfect bed, accessories and furniture will open a whole world of possibilities to the redesign of your child’s room.
