Decorating Baby Rooms

You’ve come to the right place if you need a decorating idea for kid rooms. Remember when you were a kid? Let’s face it. Not many rooms were kid friendly. More like booooriiiing. Kids like little nooks and crannies, bright friendly colors and storage for their treasures.

If you’re like me, your life centers around your children so why not center your home around them too?

Sometimes it helps to think of a theme to center your child’s room around. Look through your child’s favorite books and movies to get a decorating idea for kid rooms. You probably already know if she is in love with Dora the Explorer or Spiderman. Once the theme is chosen, go shopping for a comforteror quilt or if you have some extra time, make one yourself. Use pieces of clothing, book bags, well-loved blankets, all items from your child’s past that you can look at together and reminisce. Let this be your color inspiration for the whole room. If you have an older child, get him involved. Pick out a handful of paint chips that you can live with. Then let him choose. I know it’s difficult to let go of the control. You can do it!

Okay, now that I’ve pushed you to let go a little, how about a little more. Another super decorating idea for kid rooms is to layout a spot on the wall for a mural, your child’s mural. You may supervise of course, but the artwork is up to him. It will be a source of pride to you and him for years to come. When he gets tired of it, just paint over it! Take a few pictures first, though.

As a parent you may dream of a frilly sheets, fluffy pillows and a ruffled canopy for your GIRL , something you always wished you could have. Instead, she may want a place where she can feel comfortable, a place to have tea with her dolls or entertain friends, but not have to worry about messing up the comforter.

BOYS sometimes feel restricted. Do you ever find yourself telling your son, “No, you can’t make a mess here.” All he’s wondering is …....where? He needs a place to make a mess and then a place to store it all out of the way.

BIG DECORATING IDEAS FOR LITTLE PEOPLE

1. Another decorating idea for kid rooms is to be sure to designate a shelving or wall space to display art work and hand made items. I’ve found that a bulletin board works well for this. Try some chalk board paint. It is a fantastic invention! You just paint it on, let dry and start scribbling! You can get it at Benjamin Moore.

2. This decorating idea for kid rooms can save you money on wall decor. Frame your child’s own paintings. I’ve even framed magazine pictures and greeting cards. They work quite nicely.

3.Usethat fits your child. Grown up chairs can make the room seem old and cold. Furniture that’s too small can make a kid who’s growing up feel like a baby.

4. Bigger isn’t always better! Smaller rooms can actually be better for a child who is learning how to keep things neat, hang up clothes, etc. A large room can naturally have a large mess which in turn leads to frustration. A small room has a smaller mess which leaves more time for fun! For small rooms store shallow containers under the bed. Attach shelving 18 inches or so below the ceiling. Add pegs or hooks to the walls. Most of all, get rid of what your child doesn’t play with! I know it’s difficult because you really wanted a doll house like that when you were 5!

5. Pillows are also a fun way to bring color and interest into a room. Animal pillows are especially fun.

A decorating idea for kid rooms can come when you least expect it, but most of the time it takes a little effort. Take a deep breath and sit back for a moment. Imagine what your child would do if he could design any kind of house he wanted to. Then ask him to draw it. You will be amazed at his creativity. This exercise will also give you great insight. Ideas will start popping!

Ah Babies, those sweet little bundles of joy. They grow up so fast! That’s why it only makes sense to come up with a baby room decorating idea that grows with your child.

Hopefully after some thoughtfulness a decorating idea for kid rooms decorating idea for kid rooms will hit you. You'll be able to take action and give your child a special place where he can learn and grow. You’ll send the message loud and clear, “This is your home too!”
