You start thinking about how create a kid’s room the moment you realise you’re going to have a baby. It is very tempting to decorate the nursery and this can be a wonderful way to await the birth of your child. But you have to remember your child will grow up in this room so you have to think about the transition of nursery into a bedroom of a growing child. 

It will take some time to decorate the room and you will have to think about the merits of certain design decisions over others. You have to think about the cost of decorating as well. You have to create a room that your child will love too. One of the first things to do is to pick a colour palette to the room. You can have multiple colours as long as you do it tastefully. For example, you can have two bright colours balanced with a neutral colour. This way the room catches your eye and you will find it easier to switch a colour if your child doesn’t find it okay. You can also hang interesting wall art for children. You have to think about what kind of furniture you’re purchasing for the room. It is best to go for furniture that has multiple purposes. For example, you can choose a bookshelf that can be used to keep storage bins. The storage bins can have dolls and other playthings a toddler wants. As they grow up, you can take the bins out and transform it into a proper bookshelf. Usually, people tend to decorate the room and place items within the reach of children. But you have to be conscious about decorating the vertical space of the room.

You can give an illusion of spaciousness by decorating the vertical space and using modern art for kids. If there’s a shelf that the child can’t reach all the way to the top, you can put a few things for your own access. Children tend to draw a lot and paint when they are young and you can use some of these crafts to hang in their bedroom. This would create a mini gallery in their room. You can put up a board where you can pin artwork to so that it can be used to showcase their creativity. It can be a bit risky to decorate the room according to a character theme. Kids tend to change their preferences quite quickly so it is best to decorate in a way that you can remove the elements. The most important thing you have to remember is to have fun with the whole thing. This can be a very enjoyable and exciting period for you where you will be able to find and implement new decorating ideas. You will always be able to change it if you don’t like it so you shouldn’t become very worried about the end result. It is best to do some research so you have a clear idea of what the room is going to look like finally. Get the opinions of others on the end result as well.
