Your child’s imagination is one of their best assets and creating a fun and imaginative environment for your kids is one of the best things you can do.
There are plenty of affordable ways to make a child’s space feel cozy and updated without going over your budget.
Shelving
Wallpaper
Imagine being a kid and being able to draw on the walls whenever you wanted, without having to worry about getting into trouble. Chalkboard wallpaper means that your little artists can draw, rub it off and start again. They can create a masterpiece and leave it to decorate their room.
Lighting
While you want to let the natural sunlight in during the day to encourage a happy mood, lighting at other times should be subdued to encourage quiet and rest. Dimmer switches to control overhead lighting works perfectly, as well as a reading lamp next to their bed.
Colour
Picking a cheerful colour scheme will go a long way in bringing that upbeat, youthful vibe to your kid’s room. Do up the room in your child’s favourite colours or pick any palette that has two or three primary or pastel shades. A professional will be able to assist with a colour palette.
Work space
To help your child stay organized, define work and play zones in his or her room. Set up one area with a designated work surface with cabinets – for homework, creative art or puzzle projects. Make sure that you have enough storage for books and stationery to keep surfaces looking uncluttered and tidy.
