Decorating your child’s room will require a bit of
compromise on your part and theirs if they are of an age to help in decisions.
They will want to go all out on their favorite theme, and you will want organization,
and style. Compromise is the main word when it comes to renovation of an older
child’s room. Take an afternoon and sit down with a budget and a look at online
catalogs which feature your child’s chosen theme; it’s the first chance you
will have to teach your child about what they want versus what they can afford.
Make it your child’s money, and let them see where giving up one thing can get
them something else that cost less.
Using your child’s creative like’s table setting, your sense of style and organization and a well planned budget you can create a wonderful way for your child to have a place to escape into and call their own. While they may not get everything they want for their room you can allow them to set the tone for the décor and bring in enough accent pieces to provide the look they are after. Using touches of color or patterns can tie their theme in with the actual items they requested for an overall finished appearance.
Let them have a say when placing the items so they will be happy with the way the room is transforming. They may pick a table colors scheme that is totally different from your personal choice for the rest of the house; you can close the door and separate it from the rest of the house! By allowing them to pick the color you can offer a compromise, and offer suggestions on accent colors that will pull the room together, and satisfy your sense of style.
Be sure to include organizational items and furnishings to the list of things they want for their room. There are modular units available that will allow them to have a fun, funky room, and provide space for storage. Unique shapes and designs add a modern touch to your child’s room and they can be happy with the nods of approval from friends.
If your child is a gamer, adding colored Flotaki rugs can provide color and comfort to the area for them and their friends to enjoy role playing games. For a room that features lots of blues that boys prefer, a large blue rug in the center of the room can be a drop zone for pillows and bodies in a friendly pillow fight!
For a young lady whose choices of pastel pinks is almost overpowering, add a grouping of green and yellow rugs to separate the pink color scheme. Place them around the room and separate the areas in front of the dresser and bed from the rest of the pink carpeting.
Tying a room’s décor together is basically the same for boys and girls; use lamps, throw pillows, drapes, and favorite toys to blend it together. Placing a corner reading or studying area can provide the needed incentive to read in their room for pleasure, which can stimulate reading skills for school. Have fun learning your child’s likes and dislikes, and maybe you will be surprised by their own sense of creativity and style.
