Some creative ideas on decorating
kids bedrooms:
Furniture - Make a whole play area from an ordinary
bookcase. Choose bright colors that match your child style and add features such as cutout
doors for a doll house or castle effect. Add texture materials to one or two compartments
that create a window or door like feature. When your child has out-grown the design, you
can easily remove the materials and doors and replace them with the original materials
that you saved. Other ideas can be used with Lego or large building blocks to create more
designs to match your childs age.
Walls - Turn your kids walls in a big canvas. Paint is
the perfect solution and least expensive way to create a kaleidoscope impact while
offering unlimited color options. Just changing one wall or adding stripes, borders,
sponge or stamping techniques can bring new life to an ordinary room. Use wavy or splat
design patterns, or turn one wall into a mural effect. Choose a bright base and pick
accent colors to achieve the best effects.
Ceiling - Create a magical night sky on your childs
ceiling with glow in the dark decorations. These can be fun and even comforting for your
child to be able to lie in bed and gaze up at the night stars
Doors - Use wooden letters that spell your childs name
and glue them on the door. Painting them in the theme color of your child room will dress
up the door nicely. Closet door hardware can be replaced with wiggly handles or their
favorite cartoon character. By matching the door hardware with wall plates you can carry
the pattern through out the room that accents their style.
Shelves - Using shelving materials can be the least
expensive way to pick up the clutter and organize a room. Painting with the same colors or
add design features with stencil or stamping can quickly dress up any room. Different
shelve designs can also be used to border a window that eliminate the need for expensive
window treatments.
