Decorating your child's room should be fun and exciting for all involved.
The most important thing to remember when planning or decorating your child's
room is to keep the decor age appropriate. You wouldn't want to decorate your 3-year
old daughter's room in the same style as your 13-year old daughter's room. That
doesn't mean you have to start decorating all over every few years. What it
means is that you should strive to create a room that will grow with your
little girl/little boy but is age appropriate. Some helpful tips follow.
Get a feel for what colors your child likes. If they are fairly young
show them a box of crayons and let them pick out their favorite colors. Use
those colors as inspiration for the child's room decor. The older child or
children can easily tell you what colors they prefer.
Don't force your style or color likes and dislikes on your children.
Despite their young age they are developing their personality and their rooms
are an extension of it
Use your imagination (ask your child for input) when painting your
child's room. The wall treatments can range from applying a calming and soothing
neutral wall color to creating fantastic murals that bring your child's dreams
to life. Decoupage is another form of decorative finishes that you can use to
create a truly unique and magical child's room.
