No matter what their age, there is nothing more exciting for a child than redecorating their bedroom. It's their chance to make their own personal space into whatever they want it to be. Whether it's a room fit for a princess, or a little rocker's haven, letting them have their say in what they want it to be is important to them. So here are some theme ideas to inspire them.
One of the vital things to remember when decorating a child's bedroom is that this is their own personal space and that is important to them, no matter what their age. It is the only room in the family home that is all their own and where they are likely to spend quite a lot of their time over the years. Therefore allowing them to have a say as much as possible in the designing of the room is important to them. Try to involve them by taking them shopping for ideas, looking over different themes and colour schemes together, and where certain things might be too much of a stretch to achieve, aim to compromise and show you are trying to work with them.
A fashion trend not only in adult rooms but in children's nurseries and bedrooms alike is the white and floral country theme. More for the young females, the theme encompasses wrought-iron bed frames and patchwork quilts, bunting and floral patterns, all set off by the pastel colours of the theme. To add an element of warmth go for a thick shag carpet or rug, and some bright and pretty canvases hung on the wall add colour but without the dangers of heavier picture frames.
For a modern young male's room union jack flags and red white and blue colour schemes are fashionable and appeal to the male senses. Union jack quilt covers and canvases bring a splash of colour to white walls, and every boy loves his cars and guitars so a guitar shaped CD rack or a model car are must have accessories for this theme.
Use the space available space wisely by creating a range of different zones for your child. The addition of a desk and computer can signify a work area for homework and other learning activities. Create a play area with storage for all their toys, and other fun furniture that can be encompassed in their play. The sleeping area doesn't have to be boring either. Make it exciting with the addition of themed beds for the little ones, and for the older ones a four poster bed or some funky bedding picked out by them.
