Kid's Room Planning Guide The
most important rule of kids’ room decorating is to involve your child.
Ultimately, they will be the ones living in this space.
This is not to say that
you should agree with all your child’s wishes (you did, after all, pay
for those walls!). However,
you should be able to come to some sort of compromise.
Step One Decide on the theme - The best way to tackle this task is to start by getting some ideas from books, magazines, decorating shows, and websites.
Step Two Brainstorm ideas for the theme with your child - Sit down together and make a list of things that related to your theme. For instance, if your child’s room theme is the ocean, list things like shells, sea creatures, waves, sand, etc.
Step Three Decide on the Color Scheme - Now it’s time to pick a color and paint the walls. Yes, neutrals are great because they go with everything, but it’s only paint and it can be covered. Pick up different color paint cards at local paint supply stores and tape them to the walls to see how different shades will look with your lighting. Be brave, be bold – your child will love you for it!
Step Four Accessorize! Add pillows, curtains, lamps and rugs to complete your theme.
