It is possible to provide your child with facilities, style, comfort and safety. A few steps that will help you do up your home interiors without the help of interior designers have been enumerated below. Before beginning the work on your kid's bedroom, it is important to decide what effect you would like in the room. The factors that will help you make the right decision are your child's age, gender, location of the room and space available. Information whether the room will be shared by your child alone or siblings also matter!
- A Dash of Color I am sure that all of us have always associated pink with girls and blue with boys, because of this, kids bedrooms have always been either of the colors. Well! Times have changed and now the addition of bright colors like yellow, red and green have entered the children's bedroom. When selecting the color, ensure that they are water-based because that would make cleaning easier. I hear you say...can I use wallpaper? Yes, it is possible to combine the two in the same room to create some magic of your own! There is another option too, which includes using faux finish plaster or using tiles cladding in square and rectangular shapes.
- Bring In The Lights Like I said earlier, lights fascinate me because even simple light pieces can transmute a simple room into one that provides ample right for your child to read and play. Use lights to add glamor, style and drama. Floor lamps are beautiful and can be placed near the play area. Add lights with dimmers so that you can dim the lights when your child falls asleep when you are reading to him/her. Lights come in all shapes, colors, materials and sizes, so you are sure to find one that complements your child's room.
- Cover The Floor Safety should be the first thing to consider when selecting the flooring for your child's bedroom, keeping this in mind select flooring that is not slippery, devoid of friction and made of fine materials that are allergy-proof. Two ideal options are wood flooring and carpets. Select these materials after talking to friends who have already done up their kid's bedroom or visiting websites.
- Pieces of furniture The essentials pieces of furniture in a kids bedroom are a bed, cupboard, bookshelf and a study table. Select from the wide range of products available at the local furniture store or websites. While selecting the ideal piece make sure that the material and color used on the pieces are of good quality. Make sure that the pieces of furniture have rounded edges too. If you have a space constraint, select furniture that serves a number of purposes, makes use of corners and has storage.
- Window To Your Child's Room There's plenty you can do with the window in your kid's bedroom. You can use artwork to decorate the window to your child's bedroom. To do this, use stencils that come in various shapes. Not only this, you can also use shadows to bring in a new meaning to the room, begin by obstructing the entry of light by using a mild steel grill or a stained glass painting. This wall can also serve as a focal point because the shadows on the wall will change with the direction and intensity of the sunlight. Drapes can also be used, after ensuring that they are of appropriate height.
- Knick-Knacks From my experience as an interior designer I have often realized that there is so much that can be done with accessories. Actually every time you go shopping you are sure to find something new to include in the room (at least that is what I do). After you have decided on the color of the room, furniture, lights, window treatment and furniture, you are now ready to proceed to the next stage. I feel it would be a nice idea to have a large board on the wall on which the child is able to display his/her works of art. Pictures of their favorite characters, flags and maps would also add another facet to the room keeping with the rest of the décor. While buying bed sheets, pillow covers and cushions ensure that the material is fine. You can select form the wide range that includes cartoon figures like Winnie the pooh, Mickey and Donald and Garfield. Apart from this you will also find them in designs like cars and rockets. Buy the other accessories in unbreakable and colorful material.
