As you’re decorating your child’s bedroom you have three basic concerns in mind: creating a space that’s easy to keep clean and tidy, creating a space that offers the function you need, and surrounding your little one with a well-decorated, whimsical space. Fulfilling these three goals may sound like a tall order but we’ve got five tips that will help you do just that, courtesy of RENTCafé Apartments.
You don’t need to invest hundreds of dollars in art for your child’s bedroom walls. Grab a few frames and fill them with artwork your kids made, their favorite pictures from coloring books, favorite cartoons, or even images from an old fairy tale book. Anything you can fit in a frame can be part of a lovely little kid’s inspired art gallery.
Is there anything more whimsical than fairy lights? These bed curtains are adorable on their own, but when strung with twinkling lights they become nothing less than magical. They create the perfect space for your kids to read before bed, play make believe with their friends, or simply sit and relax under their very own fairy lights.
As you look for the most cost effective ways to decorate, focus on turning necessary items into focal points. For example, a bold bedspread or impactful window coverings will immediately draw the eye and can tie together other elements of the room. Look at the things you’ll need to buy anyway and find ways to turn them into key parts of your design.
It happens time and time again: parents put a lot of time and money into decorating their child’s bedroom, only to have the floor covered in toys and every surface marred with playthings. Keeping the room clean and in control is much easier when you have plenty of cubbies, bins, or baskets.
Make it a game for the kids by labeling each container with pictures of the type of toy or item that goes in it. At night, it’s their job to see how quickly they can get everything picked up. Be sure you’re choosing organizing elements that are fun and whimsical so they don’t distract from your design ideas but rather add to it.
If your child’s room has some space to spare, find a decorative screen or divider wall to partition off their sleeping area from their play or study area. Not only will this be visually pleasing as it creates a clear space for each of these activities, but having a dedicated sleeping space can make the little ones fall asleep faster and easier.
These are just five ideas that parents who rent can embrace for their little ones. The best design ideas combine organization, functionality, and fun!
