Of all the rooms in the house, the children’s room is the most challenging and enjoyable when it comes to decorating it. Depending on the age of the child or children, it can be pretty exhausting too, considering the incessant demands and having to satisfy all of them. At the same time it offers great scope for teamwork and offers an opportunity to inculcate a project-oriented approach within them so that they can imbibe the learning and use the experience later on in their life.
As the leader of the project, it is best to get started setting down some of the rules to be followed so that they understand the nature of the task that lies ahead and how they can contribute positively towards its culmination in the shortest possible time. This would make the process a very enjoyable and satisfying one and they would feel a sense of ownership and contentment at having contributed significantly to the making of their room.
If however, the children are too small to participate in the process, you have the opportunity to do it your way and bear a much greater responsibility in conceptualising how to go about doing the room. Certain factors to be kept in mind are:
a) Look upon the room as a multi functional one in which the child is going to do everything from studying, watching TV, reading story books, working on the PC and of course relaxing.
b) Do not make the mistake of going overboard with the theme of the room by painting the walls or making changes such that it will be difficult to undo them once the theme dies out. Use the idea of the theme selectively in the accessories you select so that changes can be made quickly and whenever required.
c) Make sure that you use duvets and quilts that can be reused with any changed accessory. Do not hesitate to spend on accessories like lamps, floor mats and wall paper with designs that are funky.
d) Try to get good quality second hand furniture. If you can get some good complete sets with few marks of previous usage, then you can definitely go for it with the idea that the entire set can be changed for a new one a few years down the line and you need not spend a bomb on the makeover. Avoid furniture with pictures as choices vary and tastes keep changing.
e) Make sure that storage cabinets, the television cabinet and the writing desk are located away from the bed.
f) Take the help of a professional as far as lighting of the room is concerned. This is important since the room is going to be used for a variety of purposes and only a professional will be able to give you ideas on the appropriate lighting specific to the purpose.
g) Opt for wall shelves as they are not only available in a variety of styles and colours but are very useful for storage of books, artwork, toys and other knick knacks that children tend to accumulate.
Doing up the children’s room can be great fun as it allows for creativity and freedom to have a blast with different colors and designs.
