Decorating Kids RoomsDecorating kids rooms should be relaxing and fun. Look to your child for decorating help and inspiration. Is she a docile princess, an energetic spitfire, a sports enthusiast? 1. A three or four year old can be a great help in picking out color choices, as long as you retain the power of how it is used. If the color chosen is unbearable it can always be used as an accent color throughout the room as pillows, picture frames, knob pulls, lampshades, area rugs--these are all great color accents because they can be changed easy as the child ages or taste matures.
2. Think of your children's rooms as a playground to explore your whimsy decorator within. This is the time to explore decorating ideas in do it yourself magazines and paint pieces of furniture, do projects together, frame their own artwork etc. 3. The best decorating help for decorating kids rooms is the child themself. Use their favorite things and special interests as accents or even designate the theme for the room. Such as a love for horses, animals, pirates, ballet, car racing, fishing, fashion, even bugs. 4. Color combinations can be found from scrapbook paper from your local craft store. Frame your pages or decoupage them on a toy chest and then use the colors for decorating your kids room. 5. Using a paint sample slip with samples of verigating degress of color and intensity can also be a great way to choose decorating colors of a room. Pain the wall using the colors off your sample slip in a horizontal pattern across and up the room. 6. Very simply, fall in love with the bedding first and then orient the decorating theme and coordinating colors from the bedspread to the room. This is the one of the most popular ways for a starting point in decorating kids rooms.
1. When incorporating "crazy" or bold color choices cut the wall in half and use two colors so one color does not overpower the room. This is the perfect time to use a chair rail, wall paper border, or painted border to separate the top half and the bottom half. You can even skip the level and plumb lines and create a wave as your dividing line.
How to break up a wall, "do it with molding" 2. Use one wall as an accent wall with a strong bold color. This is usefull for strong color choices or a theme that the child could easily grow out of relatively soon. 3. Randy Pausch ,who wrote the inspiring book "The Last Lecture", had ingenious parents who let him draw or paint his room with his own drawings and paintings. New chalkboard paint can engage your child with the same decorating freedom without the commitment. 3. There is also magnetic paint or additive that can hold your childs art in place, coupled with chalkboard paint your five year old has imaginative freedom and your fifteen year old has an instant messaging system in place. 4. Decorating kids rooms with themes has become big business. A new trend in large murals and objects made from removable vinyls that adheres to your wall and can be removed and reused. A huge spiderman, a race car, oversized flowers, butterflies and fairies, and castles.
