The very first few weeks of summer are a magical time of playing outside, sleeping (only a bit) later and lazy afternoons, but as the warmth and the routine of summer set in, sometimes, so does the phrase "Mom, I'm bored"! Summer is really a great time to take on the decorating project and it is fun to freshen up your offspring's room before school starts again. If you are in search of an innovative and versatile way to add colour to your child's room - without breaking your budget - take a look at Do-It-Yourself Mural Patterns.
You can buy great patterns these days and they arrive full size, which means you won't need a projector. They come complete with instructions and a paint-by-number guide to help you create playful wall art to match any decor. Best of all, the patterns come in various shapes, sizes and prices so you select how much to paint. It is possible to add a tiny butterfly or your child's name over the bed or a whole jungle to the playroom! Allow me to share some fun methods to get your young ones involved in designing their own room this summer using different wall patterns.
1. Have your child help select the colours: Whether you’re planning to buy new bedding or making a new look with existing bedding, children might help match colours and colour on a copy of the enclosed "paint-by-number" guide which comes with the Mural pack that will help you decide which colours go where. Be creative! Why don't you paint a purple monkey or a pink elephant - your child will love showing off this handy-work along with their idea!
2. Make a place for brand new art each day: Use chalk board paint to fill in the outline of the cat or frog and even a racing car. Then your kids can use coloured chalk to draw new frog faces, invent new butterfly wings or produce and re-create the racing car of their dreams!
3. Produce a hand-painted keepsake: If you are not confident with your painting abilities or want to produce a painting to keep, purchase some pre-mounted canvases from the local craft store. Using craft paint or paint pens along with a Mural pattern, create your own personal hand-painted wall art to hang on your child's wall with a vibrant ribbon. You can even give your child their own canvas to paint with you. There are a number of ways in which to entertain the kids, but myself, I think painting a Mural for themselves gives them pride along with a feeling of achievement.

Painting peoples houses has been my line of work for more years than I care to remember. So I thought it was time I tried to provide a few ideas to help people out who may not have the money to pay for to pay a lot to entertain the children. I would certainly also like to take this chance to thank the ' painter london ' company who've given me help and advise all through the many years that I’ve been working as a painter and decorator.
