As your son leaves infancy behind and his needs begin to change, the type of room he inhabits should change as well. While mapping out a plan for your toddler room, be sure to keep an eye on general safety to offset a more curious nature and potential for harm. Cover the outlets, move the breakables up and away, and purchase furniture without sharp ends, or buy adaptable plastic round corner pieces that can be added to accomplish the same thing. Check out the useful tips that follow as you work to give your son a new room.
Remain Theme Oriented
Thanks to Disney and other giants in marketing, it is easy to find a theme to help your son adjust to a new toddler bedroom. If he has a favorite character or animal or broader idea choice, use that as a jumping off point and decorate with the entire line of bedding, wall, and window coverings that all revolve around and highlight the subject matter.
Keep it Simple
Try not to introduce too many accessories or pieces of furniture and work towards keeping the majority of the carpet space open and free to maximize your son play area. Also, look to furniture that can grow with your toddler, so that when his style changes again, you only have to change the theme in order to create a new look. It will save you time and money in the long run.
Furniture Safety
Choose bulky, sturdy furniture that would not tip over and can hold its own when confronted by the little monkey your son will undoubtedly become as he learns to walk, climb and interact with his new environment. Anything that is remotely within reach like a television sitting upon a dresser, or taller shelving unit should be anchored to the wall to insure safety.
Wall Art
Another way to tie into your theme is to add wall art, or paint a mural on the wall for added effect. You may choose to hire a professional or choose to tackle it on your own by purchasing do it yourself kits being sold in stores today.
Area Rugs
Consider bringing in an area rug as an extra cushion over the existing carpet, and certainly as a protective layer over unforgiving hardwood floors. Thankfully, you can choose an option that is both functional and decorative, with a child-friendly cushioned mat complete with towns and roads that doubles as a play space for a favorite toy train or car.
Child Friendly Furniture
Be sure to buy furniture that is both scaled to your growing toddler size and energy level. A table and chairs suited to fit your young man, with storage and work areas that are his height and size will give him a sense of ownership and offer a fun new place to color and learn new skills.
