How to Setup Up the Kid-approved Room

Thursday, March 29th, 2018

Double-duty furniture: Flexsteel Living Room Fabric And Kashmira Storage Ottoman

If you’re a parent who’s thinking of setting up a room for your little one, then you might be at a point when you no longer know how to have him (or her) onboard on the project. After all, a kid could default to his favorite cartoon character or would wish for a unicorn-filled bedroom. If none of these designs would make sense with your overall theme, then it’s time to learn a few techniques.

Consider Your Kid’s Happiness

When it comes to a kid’s room, remember that you need to consider his freedom, his sense of creativity, his boundless energy, and of course, his happiness. Think of his room as his personal sanctuary, a playground where no one would judge him.

While kids’ safety matters, this does not go to say that they will see the CCTV cameras and whatnot. Learn to install security features in the room that would not hamper with the fun that is also supposed to happen there.

Make Room for Adjustments

Kids are known for their fickle-mindedness as they alter their tastes from one cartoon character to a sports team, and on. If you want a room that will grow with your kid along with his design preferences, then you might want to invest in the more classic furniture designs.

So, rather than buying a kid-sized drawer, pick one that can store more clothing in the future. If your space allows it, then invest in a bigger bed from the outset unless, of course, when you’re setting up a nursery in which case, you have to pick furnishings that are infant-appropriate.

Buy Double-duty Furniture

A multifunctional furniture is the most ideal piece to put in your kid’s room. This is especially when you’re looking to change a nursery to a bigger child. And when it is finally time to replace the crib with a bed, then make sure that you get the one that has storage underneath. This simple storage solution should help keep your kid’s room tidy.

While parents are cautioned against being ‘boxed in’ on some gender-assigned colors, pink is just so deliciously lovely that it’s difficult to not use on a girl’s bedroom floor.

Use Fun Colors

While you are encouraged to set up a room that your kid could grow into, you might also want to consider that you’re decorating the room for a kid. And a kid will always be a kid so if you are left to pick the colors, then add the fun hues.

Neutrals can be used but be sure to offset the boring look with bold accents. And if the rest of the room is bold-colored, then pick tamed furnishings.

Choose Kiddie Themes

There are many kiddie themes to choose from online. Take the time to scour these options with your little one. Make him point to the ones that he likes and take note of those. Neutral themes include zoo trip, Toy Story, basic pastels, Old Western, farm animals, etc.

For boys’ bedroom themes, you can choose from Captain America (and any other superhero), shark theme, Star Wars, etc. As for girls, the options could include Disney princesses, rainbows, the traditional pink, and playland.

Ask Your Kid for Suggestions

Learn to think outside of the box. To do this, ask your kid for suggestions. You will be surprised at the plethora of ideas that could flow out of his young mind.

If you have, say, a five-year-old who is adamant in picking the paint color for the walls of his room, then don’t hamper that creativity. Give him some control but learn to coax if the colors start to clash. You have to learn to walk the line where you’re guiding the choices that your little one makes while he still has the leeway to suggest what he truly desires.

For starters, you can narrow his paint color options to just five so he can point to the one that makes sense to him the most. You could also do the same thing with the color of the furnishings. Having the kid onboard in this whole project will increase his self-esteem and even his love and respect for you.
