Don’t we usually take decorating kid’s rooms to be an easy job? All you need is bright pastel shades on the wall, some baby animals or superhero posters, a cozy bed and the biggest toy chest you can lay your hands on at your local furniture boutique and you are done with decoration. However, just like us, even the kids have some special requirements and choices. They might not be sensible enough to express it, but they do have particular needs. For instance, here are a few things you can keep in mind while redoing kids rooms in future.
Color Combinations

Bright colors are a favorite among children. However, too bright can make it appear a bit overwhelming to look at and make it difficult for them to sleep. Therefore, go for the softer shades of bright colors. The days of pink for the girls and blue for the boys is gone. Try gender-neutral hues like warm apricot or spring green with a soft touch to it. The parents who seek to make the most of the money invested in redoing their kid’s room go for the best quality paints which can last from infancy to adolescence. For such cases, marine blue and citron yellow can be the perfect pick. Moreover, just like adults, kids love accent walls too.
A set up that encourages play

A thoughtful organization of the room can add the playfulness factor that you would need in a kid’s room. Rather than having bottomless bits for the toy box, go for the more organized options like baskets and bins. You can sort boxes according to the type of toy – dolls, legos, cars and so on. If you want to keep it childish, label these boxes with pictures rather than names. You can keep half the toys in the basement and rotate them from time to time to avoid clutter and mess. Use a carpet in one part of the room as a play area or maybe even a dividing screen. For games like dough and messy painting, consider putting a child size table.
A study corner

If you’re planning to keep the set up educational, remember that the only way to mak it work is to keep it fun. Ask yourself what you’d like if you were a child and decide accordingly. The love for oversized stuff in children is very common so, you should consider going for a huge alphabet poster on the ceiling. You can also try the idea of using educational furniture like dresser knobs and drawers with an illustration of what’s inside them. This will make learning to dress up fun for the kids. For school going kids, set up a comfortable study table and chair with a pinboard to hand their things on.
Even children need privacy

Children start expecting privacy at a very early age, especially if they share their room with a younger sibling. Thus, if there’s enough space, try to remodel the room into two mini bedrooms. Otherwise, you can go for fabric curtains as well to separate their spaces. You can also go for two lofted beds, each with individual study area and reading nook. For small rooms, try to keep the beds separate rather than keeping them head to head. Place a side table in between with a lamp.
Transition from infancy to adulthood

Growing older is the way of nature so rather than ignoring it, accept it. At the same time, keep in mind the changes and alterations that you require to make for your child’s comfort. Use a better artwork for the room so that it appeals to your child from infancy to adolescence. You can choose classic furniture that can be decorated with stickers of their favorite cartoons, and as your kid grows up, these can be removed. Take special care to use statement upholstery, curtains and rugs so that they don’t need to be updated with age.
