One of the most exciting parts of having a new baby is decorating his or her room in anticipation for the big homecoming day. Designing children’s rooms has become more than just picking pink or blue paint and calling it a day. This will be a room where your child’s imagination and mind will grow quickly. With the help from a designer, your child’s room will become a place where you both can learn and explore together.
Theme rooms are great and can be started with newborns. Boys can delve into the wonders of the ocean or jungle with the help of murals, stuffed animals, vibrant paints, and fun fabrics. Disney Princesses or a floral garden for girls can include colorful wallpaper, decorative light fixtures, plush fabrics, and rugs.
Life stages progress quickly and an extravagantly themed room can be easily converted into a playtime getaway for growing children by simply changing the paint or wall coverings. Rugs have an added benefit of providing warmth and interest while protecting floors from toys! Bedding will need to be added with the introduction of a new bed and can stay until the child is in their early teens.
A child’s room needs to be able to adapt from a crib to big boy or girl bed with a few easy changes. Window treatments can go from fun and themed to simple and sophisticated by adding panels, without having to change the hardware. A comfortable rocking chair is the most important, aside from the crib. The crib should be both fun and functional; for example, heightened corner posts for a princess or castle themed room, or fish and seaweed painted on the rails for an underwater feel. The changing table will coordinate with the crib and can also serve as a dresser or other storage unit.
