The decoration of children's rooms It is one of the most creative areas in the world of design and interior design. Fine-tuning these spaces when the arrival of a new member is coming to the family is always very exciting, tender, as well as fun for everyone involved.
This is due not only to the result so vibrant that it can be achieved in the children's room, but because these spaces must supply the many needs that children have, from birth to independence. Needs, by the way, that change over the years as they grow and to which moms and dads have to know how to respond by decorating their small great universes.
And if their bedrooms must reflect the moment that they, the children, are going through, they will then have to contain - depending on this - some colors and elements or others. Of course it is! This is the key to getting it right. Always think that decoration is another tool - and very useful - with which promote the best child development and certain behaviors and attitudes in the smallest of the house.
Why? Well, for starters, because while you have more than one stay at home in which to develop your activities, they - children and adolescents - tend to concentrate them all in one, in their room. In it they sleep and rest, study, play and receive friends. Hence, an appropriate decoration is the one that drives and accommodates all these activities while adapting to your specific tastes, needs and personality.
Take into account your character and adapting to it the style of the bedroom is another of the keys and challenges to achieve. It is not convenient to decorate the room of a very active child in the same way, as that of another that tends to be too quiet. And in any case you can use some tools or others to encourage or mitigate some of its characteristics and behaviors.
These decorative tools that you can use go beyond traditional furniture. That is, you should not only pay attention to the choice of their beds, desks, games or storage pieces ... but in children's bedrooms there is another powerful element with which you can also work wonders: the walls of the room itself!
Through the decoration of the walls of a children's bedroom you can encourage creativity, imagination, a taste for play and for study or even order and purely cognitive development of the child. That's why the walls of your bedroom should express what they are and become interactive and dynamic elements, not static, that promote their integral development in each of the stages of their life. And you can do it with many resources!
On the wall ... full color!
Using color is almost mandatory in the decoration of children's rooms. For babies and newborns always fits a color palette soft and cozy (beige, gray or dusty tones), while for children who are already between 4 and 10 years the strongest and most striking colors will be ideal.
The mixture of tones such as red or orange will stimulate the quieter kids, while the greens and blues will help calm the character of those who are too active. Keep in mind your child's personality when choosing a color or another and apply it, for example, on one or two walls so as not to recharge the environment.
In addition, by applying the color on certain walls or strips of the walls, we can create different areas of use (study area, play area, rest area ...) and even adapt the room to the proportion and scale of the child if we divide the walls of the room into two distinct stripes of color. If you decide to do this, remember that the most intense color should be placed in the lower part, since at the most weight it will complete and fill in the space. The white or lighter shade, on the top strip to encourage the feeling of space and light. You can see more tricks on how to apply the color in the children's rooms on the Ikea site.
Removable decoration
If some decorative elements have managed to be flexible like the ones that are the most and, therefore, perfect for the rooms of children and adolescents, they are Vinyls and the famous washi tape. We can find them with children's motifs for the little ones and something more abstract or formal, like this design for the girls room as they grow up. There are many designs and colors and are perfect to give a personal and unique touch to the walls of your rooms.
The best thing is that they themselves can participate in the process of choice and placement and, when they grow and their tastes change, it will be very easy to remove them. As an extra creative idea, try combining vinyl with hooks. You will get some original clothes hangers and they will learn to order and hang their things in a fun way.
The wall is also a canvas
Another great possibility when it comes to giving life to the walls of the children's bedrooms is this: cover them with slate so that when the kids get inspiration, there is never a blank canvas on which to capture it. Let them draw, color and make their creations. When they have finished they can delete them and, yes, then ... start over!
Sorting and decorating at the same time
This is another very attractive option and, go ahead, that not only for the rooms of children and young people. Do not hesitate to place on a wall of your bedrooms a couple of specific shelves for paintings like these. In them, you can not only place photos or framed drawings that in themselves decorate a lot, but they will also offer you the possibility of expose stories or books juveniles as works of art. Thus, at the same time, you will have them ordered and in sight.
Reflected decoration
And finally, an element that is really important in the walls of youth rooms: The mirrors. From the age range of 13 years up, this decorative piece will undoubtedly become a must Secured your rooms. Take advantage of them to create interesting compositions on the wall. Mix several of different sizes and shapes or place several equal ones in an aligned manner. You will also be able to enhance the natural light that enters the space.
