Here are some steps to decorate your child’s room!
Steps To Decorate Your Child’s Room
Keep it simple and practical.
When it comes to decorating a child’s bedroom, less is usually more. Keep the decor simple and furnish to a minimum, and you will be able to create ample space for your child to play around in. This will also be practical to accommodate your child when they grow older or are accompanied by a sibling.
Ensure there are enough shelves in the room to store toys, comfortable bean bags, open-floor spaces, and windows.
Discuss the room plan with your child.
Remember that you are decorating a bedroom for your child. Therefore, it is important to discuss with them what they expect. Sit with your child and try to understand what they want. Ask them about their preferred theme, colors they will like, what kind of a room would depict their personality, etc.
The goal is to decorate a bedroom that your child will love, and that’s why you should involve them in the process.
Add bold and bright graphics.
Children should be exposed to bold graphics, and it not only brightens their room but also fuels their imagination and creativity. Whether you are thinking of decorating with wallpapers, murals, decals, or paint, adding graphics to your child’s room is a great way to set the tone.
The easiest way to go about it is to pick a cheerful theme and incorporate your child’s favorite motifs, cartoon characters, animals, flowers, etc. If you are afraid your child will grow out of these things in a couple of years, you can skip the murals for framed posters. Framed posters can be easily replaced if your child’s taste changes.
Define work and play zones
As your child grows older, they will need to learn how to segregate work from play. You can help them stay organized by creatively defining work and play zones in their bedroom.
Set up one corner of the room as the designated work area. Make sure the study table is by the window and there are enough cabinets. Try to keep enough shelves for their books, stationery, etc., and make sure the space doesn’t look cluttered. Opt for neutral styling as this will help your child focus better.
Set the other corner of the room as the designated play zone. You can create a bright corner filled with your child’s toys, stuffed animals, puzzles, and so on.
Plan for the light
Lighting is one of the most important elements while decorating a child’s bedroom. You need to carefully set a natural light during the daytime and bright lights in the evening. Choose full-spectrum light bulbs and avoid fluorescent ones. Studies have shown that poor lighting can cause anxiety and depression among children.
You can set up a night light monitor or consider adding dimmer switches to transition from day to night. Also, make sure that the room has curtains to block harsh sunlight.
Make it cozy
Last but not least, a child’s bedroom should be cozy. Kids love to be cuddled and comforted; thus, fill your child’s bedroom with soothing items. Choose things like stuffed animals, body pillows, soft weighted blankets, etc.
You can also surround your kid’s bedroom with family photos. This is a great way to remind them that their family is around, making them feel safe and protected.
While styling your kid’s room, remember that every child is unique in their way. So encourage your child to help you in the decorative process.
