Kid's Room Décor Ideas
Tips for Decorating Children’s Rooms
A child’s bedroom is a special place space to dream, create and relax in. With so many options for decorating kid’s rooms it can be hard to find the perfect fit. Follow these steps to create a children's room that inspires them to be their best!
Whether they are inspired by ballerinas, sports heroes or art; a child’s room should be as much a reflection of who they are as the rest of the home is a reflection of the parents' tastes.
Themed Kid’s Room Ideas
Creating a theme room doesn’t necessarily involve a big commitment. Removable wall decals make themed rooms a breeze to create and just as easy to change.
Decorating is easy when a child’s passions are made part of the room. Find ways to store, display and assist them in developing their hobbies and interests for a truly inspirational room.
A princess room will look great with a net canopy draping around the bed and a child-height mirror to play dress-up with. A budding artist will love a chalkboard painted wall for ever-evolving masterpieces and a string with bulldog clips strung across the top of the bed to display artwork. A sports junkie will appreciate lots of hooks and shelves to display trophies, awards and sporting gear - open storage will also help them keep their items tidy.
Since the child’s personal items are the main décor, it’s easy to change décor when they change their interests!
Best Choices for Kids Room Colors
A bedroom is as much a play space as a sleeping space, so choosing bright paint colors can make it difficult for little ones to relax and get the sleep they need. Parents should strongly consider choosing paint colors that are relaxing and inspiring rather than bright and invigorating.
Colors intensify when wrapped on four walls, so painting walls a softer shade and pairing it with brighter accents on bedding and accessories will achieve the same color-saturated effect, without the eye strain! Try muted blues and greens for relaxation – soft yellows or purples for creativity – warm pinks and peaches for a calming effect.
How to Adapt a Child’s Room for a Young Teen
Choosing white, metal or wood furniture is a great way to balance a colorful room and makes it easy to update the look as children grow.
Painting a boy’s room a grey-blue, adding white drapes, sailboat themed bedding and a steel bed frame for a nautical look. The look can be updated with charcoal bedding and roman blinds, a skateboard hung on the wall and a small computer desk for a young teen.
A princess room with a soft rose wall color and white furniture can be dressed up for a four year old with bubblegum pink bedding, faux butterflies pinned to the wall and hooks and a mirror to play dress-up. When she's a young teen create a French-boutique style by replacing bubblegum pink with black and white accents, turning the dress-up area into a dressing room area to hang outfits, jewelry and bags and swapping the butterflies for framed gift bags.
A child’s room is fun to create. Involve kids in the process while limiting the options available to maintain some control over the final product. Look for ways to enhance their personal interests while keeping a neutral base style that can grow with them for years to come.
