Kids Room Decorating Ideas - Creative, Fun, and Practical Decorating Ideas for Kids Rooms

These creative, fun, and practical kids room decorating ideas will help to create the perfect sanctuary for your youngster. When decorating kids bedrooms, you need to keep in mind that although the bedroom should be playful and fun to be in, your kid's bedroom also needs to nurture creativity, safety, self-esteem, and self-expression -- a tall order!

These ideas for decorating kids rooms are all you need to know to empower your child and build his or her self-confidence:

Creative

• Kids (especially introverts) need their own space. By letting children help decorate their own room, you allow them to create a sacred space where they can feel safe to be themselves and explore and develop their own identities. Let your youngster help choose the theme, paint colors, accessories, and artwork for her bedroom.


• Use this opportunity to foster personal expression and creativity. By encouraging your child to create artwork and other meaningful personal objects, you will actually help your child to develop his or her own sense of identity. It can be simple things like making a collage, decorating a lampshade or painting a mural.


• Resist the temptation to use primary colors -- they tend to make children hyperactive. Instead, choose warm pastels and rich colors to create peace and calm.


• Choose a motif that feels tranquil and safe -- that means to limit art and decorative items that portray flying, falling, driving, running, etc.


• Bolster your child's self esteem by hanging his or her artwork and awards. Bulletin boards are a great way to display your child's achievements.


• At nighttime, store "active" games out of sight and keep out comforting toys like stuffed animals.


• Add photos of family to give a sense of love and security.


• If your children share a bedroom, make sure they each have their own space.


• Finally, offer plenty of storage that is easy to access.
