Decor for Kids Rooms, "This room is MINE", Ideas for Decorating Kids Rooms

When beginning to form ideas for decorating kids rooms,  you have a couple of issues.  One,  are you decorating for you, to match the flow of your home?  Or two, are you choosing a kids room decor that will suit your child and make them happy.    If you want to be a hero to your child, number two is the way to go!

There are directions available when decorating kids rooms.  You must begin with a theme or art design.  The decor for kids room is as varied as the number of kids in the world.  For boys sports room decor, fireman decor, cowboy, farm, Trains,  Airplane, hunting, surfing, fishing, skateboarding.  For girls, of course you begin with Princess decor, flower and butterfly, ladybug, ballet or dance with polka dots and evolve into groovy, zebra, big bright flowers and stripes or color blocks! 

Begin by letting your child express how they imagine their new room to be and keep them involved as you go by showing them fabric, paint colors and furniture.  Many first time parents decorate the nursery with a theme that is quickly outgrown, but the second go round, you should choose your kids room decor with the idea in mind that they will have to live with this awhile and be able to evolve rather than totally redecorate every other year.

Choose a color palette that can support other themes as they grow.  For young girl's a pastel room with flowers can easily be made to look "older" by adding bright color polka dots and then when in the teens, just paint one wall a bolder color.  Same is true for boys, softer pastels can be updated with stripes or color blocks and posters as they hit the teen years.  An easy way to theme a kids room is with a personalized pillowcase.  We have them with many different themes to suit your child's room.

Probably the most important aspect to your child is to establish to themselves and the world that this is THEIR ROOM.  This is easily done with with personalized gifts.  A perfect finishing touch to decorating kids rooms is the room sign.  A personalized door sign to match their theme will be the first thing they point out to visitors and over eager siblings and don't be surprised to hear, "see this say's Chloe's Room, so you better watch it".  If a door sign is not quite fitting a print or art with their name is another choice. 

As they become older another great way to have a room sign that doesn't hang on the door is a personalized bulletin board.  They are great and will even be a welcome gift for a high school grad, heading off to the first year of college.  Order one with their college name and logo incorporated and it will earn a place of distinction in their college dorm room.  Another hit with college girls are our Minky Dot Pillowcases and Travel Pillow.  So you see your job as decorator is never over.   And when these kids have their own kids, you will still be helping no doubt designing your Princess Grandaughters room!
