Decorating Ideas for Kids Rooms
|
By Mike Rubeo |

Kids
room decorating is an opportunity waiting to come to life! No where else can you
mix and match a variety of paint schemes along with creative stencils, stickers, sparkles
and get away with it. Best of all, your kids can be involved in transforming their room
into their own accomplishments while redecorating at the same time.
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.
Accessories - Large cork
boards can quickly turn a bare wall into a busy space. Cork boards also eliminate holes in
walls from nails or tacks that later need to be repaired. Wooden picture frames can be
painted to help accent the room. Fans blades can be reversed and painted with designs to
add cool effects when in use and then can be reversed when it comes time to re-decorate.
Decorating your kids bedroom is a great way to give them a place they
can call their own and you may just find your kid spending more time in there! |
