The internet is FILLED with designs and how-to’s about the “perfect” bedroom for you and your children, displaying the picture perfect photo with sleek paint lines and toys meticulously placed. Sure, this is wonderful if you’re trying to grab attention of the next sponsor (or keep one), but how many actually portray true families? How many of those rooms do you see with toddlers running around happily, with the trend of bright whites and sanitized furniture and decor? Bring back your inner child! Enough of being afraid the world will judge you based off. of a messy room pic. Let kids be kids and their rooms be as vibrant as they are. Here’s some quick ideas to get them involved in creating it.
- Paint the walls: Choose a bright and playful color for the walls that matches the theme of the room. You can also consider using stencils or decals to create interesting patterns or designs.
- Create a themed bed: Use a plain bed frame and add themed bedding, such as cartoon characters or superhero prints. You can also use fabric to create a canopy or fort-style bed for added fun.
- Install a chalkboard wall: Paint one wall or a section of it with chalkboard paint. This allows the child to draw or write on the wall freely and adds an interactive element to the room.
- DIY artwork: Create personalized artwork by framing your child’s drawings or paintings. You can also make collages using colorful paper or fabric cutouts.
- Hanging storage: Use hanging organizers or fabric baskets to store toys and books, making it easy for the child to access and keep the room tidy.
- Create a reading nook: Set up a cozy corner with a comfortable chair or bean bag, a small bookshelf, and soft lighting. Add some cushions and blankets for extra comfort.
- Use removable wall decals: Decorate the walls with removable wall decals in various shapes and themes. This allows you to easily change the room’s look as the child grows and their interests change.
- Upcycle furniture: Give old furniture a fresh look by repainting it or adding new hardware. You can also use wallpaper or fabric to cover drawers or table surfaces for a new and unique design.
- Make a DIY play area: Use foam floor tiles or rugs to create a designated play area in the room. Add shelves or bins to organize toys and games.
- Hang fairy lights or string lights: Add a touch of magic to the room by hanging fairy lights or string lights around the bed or on the walls. This creates a cozy and whimsical atmosphere.
Remember to involve your child in the DIY process and consider their preferences and interests when planning the room. More importantly…Have FUN!
