Children's Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Is it time to put away the nursery bedding? Is your child growing out of his or her baby theme? Here are some ideas to help you and your child decide how to decorate their bedroom.

First, get your child involved in decorating their bedroom. By this time you will know their likes and dislikes, such as colors or themes. Your child will want to be surrounded by decor that they enjoy, and you will want to give them a space that is multi-functional as well. Begin by choosing things that they will grow into, such as the bedding and the furniture. This will save money over time so that you won't have to change the colors and theme for a long time to come.

Here are some ideas for decorating your child's bedroom;

Bedding- When it comes to bedding choices, buy something that is good quality that will last for years to come. I recommend finding good quality bedding and buying it when it is on sale. That way you still have something of good quality, and you will save yourself a lot of money. Again, choose something they can grow into. Bedding that has patterns with characters that they like when they are three, may not be something they will still enjoy at age seven or eight. Bedding with patterns such as plaids, stripes, sports, animals, or floral's are great choices when it comes to having something for years to come. Then you can find other decor to coordinate with the bedding.

Color- Choose colors that coordinate well with the bedding, that also give it some contrast. For example, my son has a patchwork quilt with shades of blue, green, and yellow. I painted his room a nice shade of blue to pick up the several shades of blue in his quilt, and his curtains are a green gingham pattern, which also coordinate with the bedding, but contrast well with the color on his wall. Whatever colors you choose, find several colors that coordinate well, so you can have the room nicely decorated, and make it fun for your child!

Wall decor- Remember, this is your child's space, so have wall decor that is personalized. Using wall letters to spell their name is a great way to start. You can buy them online, or go to your local craft store, and find letters that you can paint yourself. You can also find pictures that can be personalized by the company that sells them, and that keep with the theme of your child's room. For example, if you choose to have a ladybug theme, you might find prints with that theme online, and they can add a name for a small fee.

Something else to keep in mind when it comes to wall decor, is finding decor that won't damage the walls. I recommend wall decals. They simply stick to the walls, and if your child gets tired of them, they peel right off the wall and won't leave any sticky residue. You can find different types of wall decals at stores that sell bedding, or online art or poster stores.

Shelves also provide a nice space to add decor such as photos, trophy's, or other memorabilia. You can even find shelves that have a place underneath with hooks for hanging hats, baseball bats, or jackets, which hang securely to the wall.

Pictures that keep with the theme are easy to find or do yourself. Sometimes you can find framed art that is part of a collection for a specific theme, or you can do it yourself. For example, if you are going with a jungle theme, you might be able to find a poster with jungle animals on it, and find a frame that will fit, and frame it yourself! Or you can use a good quality paper, and make a picture from your wall decals, or paint one yourself (if you have that talent), and then frame it.

Organization- One thing is certain in a kids room, and that is that it will get messy. That's just a part of being a kid. But you will want to provide some ways to help them keep it organized. Stand alone bookshelves are a great space for their books, toys, stuffed animals, or their art supplies. Place baskets, totes, or boxes on the shelves to keep these items separate. Having a toy box, or toy bins is a must to keep the space organized as well. You just can't neatly organize all of their toys, and the toy box will make it easier for clean up with certain toys.

Just remember, your child's bedroom is their very own space which will be used for many purposes, so make it multi-functional. It's not just a place to sleep, but to play, read, or study. You can provide that space for them, not only for many purposes or conveniences, but by giving them a fun colorful space that they will enjoy and grow into.

The Design of a Child's Bedroom

Most child's bedrooms are a plain room, with a small window, closet and a door. But they should be more interesting! A kid's room should be an exciting place, and a place that allows your child to change the appearance or function of the room over time, as they get older. Here are some tips to help you get started:

INCORPORATE ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS

Built in shelves add detail and important storage space to a child's bedroom. The shelves can be used to store books and things the child collects over the years. It's also a place to display important items, awards, and trophy's the child may have won. And don't skip on architectural detail just because it's a child's room. Trim around windows and doors should match other trim in the house for continuity.

ADDITIONAL SLEEPING SPACES

Consider a built-in window seat. This can be a place to read when their child is young, or, if it's large enough, it can be a place for a friend to sleep. Kids love to have sleepovers with their friends, but it's often challenging to find room for a friend to sleep. A trundle, which is a bed that incorporates another slide out bed below, is a wonderful solution to sleep two kids in one room on regular comfortable regular size mattresses. There are also ottomans and chairs that fold out into a small bed that would be suitable for a child.

DESIGNING STORAGE SPACE

Kids collect a lot of belongings that need to be stored. To make a kids bedroom appear larger and be more functional, install a closet system that incorporates drawers that can replace a dresser in the room. If you can get all the child's clothing into the closet, then the rest of the room can be used for a desk area, a play area, or other uses.

WORKSPACE

If the bedroom is small, consider a bunk bed arrangement that incorporates a bed above a desk. This arrangement allows for sleeping above, and homework, craft projects, or computer work on the desk below.

CREATE VOLUME

If the opportunity allows, consider vaulting the ceiling to create some interest. But keep the scale appropriate to the room size. A small bedroom with an extra tall ceiling may appear strange and out of scale.

ALLOWING NATURAL LIGHT IN

As with other rooms for living, kid's bedrooms should have large windows for natural light. A room with good natural light will more likely be used for things other than sleeping. A nice bright room will be used to read and play, do homework and other projects. Also keep in mind that a window (or door to the exterior) will also be required by building codes for egress during a fire or other emergency. There are size requirements for the opening, so check your local codes.

With a little creativity,planning, and design you can create a wonderful kids bedroom that a child can grow into, adapt and modify it as necessary over time.

Individual bedroom style

Furniture and other items in the bedroom are what defines this room as a bedroom, each one with its individual style. A regular bedroom can contain one bed, single,double or queen sized. One or more dressers and also a nightstand. There will probably be a closet (small or big, depending on the size of the room) and there could also be also a carpet. Nowadays, built-in closets are very popular bedroom decorating ideas, more in America than Europe.
Today it is very popular that a master bedroom is connected to a bathroom and toilet which is called “en-suite.”
