Decorating the kid’s
bedrooms is one of the greatest undertakings an amateur home decorator will
ever embark on. If you thought the arguments over the fitted kitchen were
testing, you haven’t seen anything yet! Your daughter wants a pink palace for
perfect princess but your son wants a miniature football stadium covered in
camouflage and they both have enough toys and outfits to fill a wagon! Feeling
tense?
The first thing to do
is involve your children in the decision making process. Ask them about less
specific things like their favourite hobbies, colours and objects. Introduce
them to compromise by asking them the top five or six things (within the realms
of possibility) that they might like in their rooms, then asking which they
would like most if they could only have one or two. If you lay down the ground
rules early and dispel any false hopes, you will in the long run avoid any
disappointment.
Once you have
finished your meeting with your little visionaries, it is time to get
practical. Take a look at their things and take into account how fast they are
growing and from here deduce how much storage you will actually need. A bed and
a wardrobe will obviously be the first things on your list, but you may also
want to include a book
and perhaps a desk and wall space for certificates (to avoid putting any undue
pressure on your children it is best not to tell them what this space is for!).
When purchasing any furniture it is advisable to take more time than you
usually might to do a safety check, taking into account flammability and small
parts. Choose a , bedding and soft furnishings are the best way to
do it as they can easily be replaced.
Success in decorating
the perfect bedroom for your children does not depend on spending large amounts
of money. A little imagination is all that is needed. Have some fun. It is
certainly the only room you will ever paint lime green with orange spots and
receive resoundingly positive feedback!
