Creative Kid’s Bedrooms

Ask a child what their favourite colour is and they will say green, no blue, no orange, red yellow & purple! Kids love colour so why not turn their bedroom into a stimulating & fun place to be for them!? There are endless possibilities when decorating a children's bedroom, but a very important factor is to encourage your child to contribute to the project.

Colour

Choosing the colour for the bedroom is the first step, if the colour is already fine, you may choose to add accents such as feature walls, themed curtains or wall mofits, furnishings, artworks, etc.

Just remember to listen to what your child wants. Bright colours such as Orange, Yellow & Green are great for stimulating the mind as well as having a calming affect. Very strong colours such as Red may over-stimulate an active child, reducing sleep time so consider softer hues like blues or mauves in this case.

Decorating

You are not just restricted to bright paint colours on the walls. Today there are many products on the market which are perfect for kid's bedrooms & playrooms. These include removable motifs, chalk board paint, magnetic paints and decoartive finishessuch as metallic and pearl effects. These products will allow your children to decorate in their own way and entertain themselves by being cvreative rather than by playing computers etc. Create a room which has great storage space, coloured tubs, soft hangers & bright coloured boxes are just some ideas to keep the mess to a minimum. Toys which are used most can be found easily when they are on display & if you want to rotate the toys the kids play with, swap them around regularly.

Accenting

Accent colours can bring space to life! Use the kids colourful toys by putting them on shelves. Have the children do some paintings which can be framed or mounted on decorative walls. Bed linen, curtains & cushions are also a great idea for accents; you can make curtains yourself or even buy sets that co-ordinate with the other soft furnishings to create an overall theme.

Floors

Floor coverings should be cosy but practical for the planned uses of the room. For example for very young or if craft activites are planned in the space, polished timber floors with scatter rugs may prevent costly carpet stains and mishaps. Wall to wall carpet, while cosy, can have a short lifespan in a kids zone.
