If it is about planning and decorating the room for your children, you can never run out of ideas. There is a lot you can experiment with and chances are that you will end up creating a wonderful room for your children more often than not. Here are a few ideas for achieving that perfect room for your children:
1.Experiment with colours: Children love colours and the best way to make a wonderful room is too spice it up with bright and cheerful colours. Avoid using dull and monotonous colours. You need not stick to a particular colour and can throw in plenty of them together to make for a cheerful look. Use bright shades but not irritating to the eye. Avoid using dark colours as children prefer lighter colours more.
2.Make sure the room is well lit: the room for children should have ample light. Try to have the maximum amount of natural light in the room but make sure it’s not direct sunlight. Use light coloured curtains for the room to look well lit. If there is not enough natural light available, make sure there is enough provision for lighting in the room, especially near tables.
3.Furniture and furnishings: you can choose from a large array of furniture types and designs to match the mood of the room for your children. The furniture should have a playful look. Try and pick innovative and lively designs. As for the furnishings avoid using too much of fabric as kids tend to make it dirty very soon. But do throw in a lot of pillows and a soft mattress is always a delight. Use bright and colourful shades and try to use natural fabrics like cotton and jute.
4.Themes: You can also customize your children’s room by giving it a particular theme, be it from his or her favourite cartoon or just about anything else which looks cheerful and lively, it may be related to music or your child’s favourite sport.
5.Materials: Be careful while choosing the materials for your children’s room. When it comes to fabrics, natural materials are always preferable over synthetic ones. For the walls choose a type of paint or wallpaper which can easily be cleaned if in case there are any stains.
6.Decoration: Now there is a lot you can do when it comes to the final decoration. You can choose interesting wallpaper, a bean bag, a colourful book shelf, chairs and tables in interesting designs, toys and teddy bears, so on and so forth. Avoid using breakable and expensive materials like glass. Instead you can choose from a host of other options like wood, plastic, etc.
7.The bottom line: Make sure everything is balanced. It should have a soothing and cheerful look. Do not overdo anything and do not include objects which are too eye catching. Everything must be in harmony and the room should be such that it is your child’s favourite part of the home. Do not forget to include what your child wants to include in his or her room.
