Decorating a Child's Bedroom

By Fran Sloan

If you are looking to make the perfect bedroom for your child you have a lot of neat choices to choose from. There are several steps you can take that won't break your back while trying to impress them. It can be stressful trying to decorate any room in the house, but knowing that your child is a part of it can help out tremendously. Before you begin decorating, see if your child wants to be a part of all the decisions. A great afternoon going over decorating ideas and color schemes will bond you two together.

Remember to always let the child choose. You don't always have to give them exactly what they want. Now is the time to teach compromise, budgeting, and coordinating colors. Let the child become part of the process, that way they will love it and you will feel the satisfaction that you made them happy. Don't decorate the room how you would want to, instead, throw in some suggestions from time to time. If your child is too young, decorate as you would a nursery. Match the colors and styles accordingly however if the child is old enough to understand, always let them choose what their rooms will look like. Set a budget first thing and tell your child that the price you have is all they ca spend for their room. If you don't set up a budget, you may find that the decorations will cost more than what you anticipated.

Always organize with every step. No matter what you do you must always organize. It is better to live in a clutter free environment then to live in a complete mess. Have places where your child can put their things away, and they will most likely clean their rooms, not every time but most of the time. There is place for everything if you make sure that there are organizational tools to help the child. Whether that be a desk, dresser, or toy box, everything has its place.

To start the decorating, you must first start with a theme. Whatever the child chooses you should go with. Then you can follow with painting, and the furniture. Let your child decorate however they want to but make sure that you get the final say so after all of the basics are done. Your child should express themselves without being pressured to do what you want them to. It is their room, so make them happy.

Finish the look with throw pillows, curtains, light fixtures, and area rugs. For a bedroom, you want soft rugs like colored flokati rugs that can make the room feel more comfortable and cozy. Choose the color that she wants and get the comfort that you like the best. Choose blue rugs for a boys room or yellow rugs for a girls room. Area rugs should be placed around the areas you want to highlight the most; the side of the bed, at the foot of the bed, the dresser, play station, reading corner, and more.

Fran has recently at long last opted for a table setting for her baby shower. It is actually the 1st occasion her fellow workers visit her property and she wishes to show off her entertainment skills. She's chosen glowing blue along with white baby shower table arrangement that will accentuate the ocean view coming from her living area windows.
