Let your Child Dream in their Dream Bedroom
If you are going to be redoing your kids room, you want to make sure that you are doing it right. This article will help you to create your child’s dream bedroom.
Otherwise, you are going to be in this situation again in a few years time when they decide that they have finally had enough of what you did at this point.
Instead of letting this happen, just make sure that you are thinking about what they like and what they want, rather than what you think fits in with your home.
In this article, we’re going to be giving you some advice as to how you can do this, so keep reading if you would like to find out more.
Talk To Them About It
The first thing that you should be doing is talking to your child about their bedroom decor ideas. Seeing as it is their room that is going to be disturbed, you need to talk to them and make sure that they understand what is going on.
Your child’s dream bedroom is their dream bedroom, so their input is the most important part of this!
If you just start going in and moving things so that you can make room for the change of wallpaper or colour, or even furniture, this could be a problem for them.
As such, they need to know their room is changing, and we highly recommend asking them what kind of things they would like.
Of course, you can ignore outrageous ideas or tell them that this is not happening, but make sure that you are taking mental notes as they talk.
For example, your child might love Disney princesses and want them involved somehow. If your child’s dream bedroom includes a matching Disney Princess furniture set, this post will help you to find affordable, beautiful pieces.
There are multiple ways that you can do this, so make sure to look around for inspiration once you have got a small kind of idea.
(Pinterest is a great source of inspiration!)
Keep Them Involved In The Process
Another thing that you should do is make sure that your child is involved in the process.
Let them hold the paintbrush for you while you are not using it, just make sure that you have wiped it off thoroughly so that you don’t end up with paint splatted everywhere.
This is especially true if you have just waited in the room, and you don’t want to end up with mess everywhere. It’s completely understandable, so just be careful with what you are doing.
If you are going to be making decisions, for example about the colours of drawers or something, ask them for their opinion. Instead of letting them choose from anything, give them a few options that you have found and then ask them to choose one of these.
This way, you know that it is an appropriate choice, but they also get what they want. It’s a win-win.
Consider Their Age For Appropriate Furniture
When you are buying furniture, you need to think about the age of your child. For example, you might need to look at toddler beds if they are no longer suited to the one that they are in.
Or, you might need to buy a new wardrobe, and with that one we recommend getting a size bigger than you think you are going to need because boy do they grow and go through a lot of clothes.
If you have a small child who is toddling around at the moment, make sure that none of the edges of any furniture have sharp edges or that could be potentially dangerous.
If any of the items do have anything that could be a safety hazard, make sure that you follow the childproofing steps to make it as safe as possible.
Make It Fun
One of the most important things that you are going to need to do when you are redoing your kids room is make it fun.
You are only young once, and when you get to a certain age you no longer want the kinds of things that you do when you are small.
Let them make the most of having an overactive imagination and being young by allowing them to help when it comes to deciding themes and other things like this.
For example, if they want a Jurassic Park themed room, let them have it.
Don’t forget that they are likely going to end up spending more and more time in here as the years go by.
First it’s going to be that they want to play in there, then it’s going to be that they want to chill and watch TV, then it’s going to be homework, so you want to make it nice.
Of course, when they get to a certain stage the room is going to have to change again, but that’s a bridge to cross when you get there.
Set Yourself A Budget
If you are going to be doing anything that involves renovation work, you need to set yourself a budget before you get started.
If you don’t do this, it’s easy to get carried away thinking that the money doesn’t matter because you haven’t been checking your bank statement. We understand the need to give your children the absolute best, but do so within your means.
Go through your bank balances and see what you can actually afford to spend on changing up the room. If you go online and look around for different bits for the room, you will find some fantastic deals to take advantage of.
At the very least, you will be able ensure that you aren’t breaking the bank and going into debt.
Final Thought’s
I hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you should be doing in order to create your child’s dream bedroom.
The most important thing is that they love the space that you have created for them, so as long as you are putting in the work, we’re sure this will be the result!
This is not going to be a small project, so make sure that you have the time to complete it once you get started.
I wish you the very best of luck and hope that your kids end up with a bedroom that they have always dreamed of!
