Redecorating is always fun, but have you thought about redecorating your kids’ room? Kids grow up fast, and even if you had painted the room to look like a princess castle a few years ago, your child might have grown out of it.
Clear Out Rubbish
Before you go in all gung-ho and change your child’s bedroom, you need to get rid of any clothes, old furniture and rubbish that you no longer need.
To do this you will want to involve your child and get them to pick things which they can’t bear to lose, and make a pile of things you want to take to the rubbish dump. However, if you are too busy to make it to the dump yourself, you could always use a rubbish removal company, visit samedayrubbishremoval.com.au for more.
Once your home is clear of rubbish and recycling, you can begin the process of redecorating your child’s room, with their help of course!
The Walls
The first step to transforming your child’s bedroom is to revamp the walls. Take your child to a hardware store and let them pick out their favourite colour for the walls, it is their room after all. If you want to go even further, you can find some really great wall decals online which will add more vibrancy and life to your child’s bedroom. It will also mean that if your child starts to grow bored of the decals, you can simply remove them.
Workspace
Your child needs somewhere they can sit and complete homework, as well as play with paintings and other crafts. They will be able to have a quiet spot to sit and write, daydream and build whatever they most enjoy. You can find some great desks here: https://www.wayfair.co.uk/children-nursery/sb0/childrens-desks-c1861493.html
On Display
Having all of your belongings on display on shelves and open drawers might be cluttered to us, but when it comes to your kids, it suits the vibe of the room. You want your child to have a room filled with all their favourite toys, books and games, and plenty of colour.
Maximize the Space
If your child has a small box room, you’ll want to be smart with where you place the furniture and where the storage goes. Buy a bed with drawers underneath and fit wardrobes with sliding doors to maximise the small space you have.
Shared Rooms
Of course, sometimes siblings do have to share, and if you do find that your kids are in the same room, you don’t have to stick with the same design throughout. Instead, split the room in half and let your children separately design their space. You can bring in a sense of separation for your siblings, and also allow them to shine through their own personalities. One of your children may love sports and have posters and footballs all over the walls, whereas the other may be more artsy, and have their own paintings adorning the walls. Celebrate each of your children’s independence and let them run wild with the designs for their perfect bedroom.
