There are lots of ways you can redecorate a child’s bedroom. From the walls and floor to the furniture and accessories. But with so many options available and practicalities to consider, it can create a real dilemma. And the bedroom needs to satisfy your child’s wishes and whims too!
If you are in a bit of a spin, you may need some straightforward decoration ideas. So, we spoke to expert refurbishers from houseUP to learn more about redecorating your kid’s bedroom.
Revamp the floor
A floor that’s easy to clean and totally child-friendly is what most parents want. And if it’s bright and full of fun for your kid too, then everyone’s happy. A great way to achieve this is by fitting a solid floor and covering it with a soft, washable rug. And there are some lovely children’s rugs you can buy these days. With laminate flooring prices and durable rug costs generally low, it’s a budget-friendly option too.
Paint a wonderful wall
Paint is such a versatile and easy solution for decorating the bedroom walls. And with a great range of ready-made stencils on the market, it’s easy to get creative in kids’ rooms. Things like clouds, hot air balloons, trees and animals can all be added to the walls with little fuss. You can use stencils to repeat patterns across the walls or turn one wall into a huge mural.
Install some creative storage
Storage is obviously practical. But in your child’s bedroom, it can also be creative and entertaining. If you use cube-style storage units, then you’ve got a great opportunity style it in different ways. Colour-coordinated baskets and boxes can be personalised with words or pictures to help with organisation. And you don’t need to stick to conventional storage either. Wall-mount skateboards as shelves or hang a row of pretty drawstring bags from hooks. Bags are great for storing all sorts of things, from clothes to toys.
Light it up properly
Lighting in children’s bedrooms usually means a central ceiling light and perhaps a bedside light or nightlight. And apart from a nice lightshade, there’s not much thought put into it. But lighting is a great tool to use when decorating. Bedside and nightlights come in all shapes and sizes now, so it’s the ideal opportunity to fit this into the rest of the colour scheme or theme of the room. A fun floor lamp that’s adjustable, is perfect for encouraging homework and reading. Wall lights and multiple ceiling lights will not only add extra light for playtimes but can add more colour and fun too.
