from:‘A three-year-old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm’- Bill Vaughn
You can surely add more fun in the lives of your kids by providing them with wonderful wall décor for their rooms. A child’s room should be bright and cheerful. It should be airy and should have the warmth that will make the child feel loved and safe. By selecting appropriate wall décor you can create a welcoming impact in your kid’s room. The different types of wall decor that is available for decorating your kid’s room include wall papers and borders, wall murals, art, wall hangings, drawings made by the kids themselves, paintings or portraits of your kid and yes you can even use their toys to dress up the walls.
Here are some tips that will help you in selecting the right wall décor for your kid’s room:
Do ask your kid’s opinion while selecting any kind of wall décor as that will make them feel important and they will definitely enjoy having something of their own choice. It will also encourage them to keep the room looking nice and clean.
While selecting the wall paper and borders consider the likes of the kids such as their favorite comic character or pet animal or flower so that the walls can be filled with them.
While selecting wall art or wall hangings for your kid’s room consider the base color of the wall, the furnishings and also the preferences of the child.
Kids like being creative and love to experiment. So their drawings, paintings and other craft should find place in the wall design. They should be fixed on the wall so that it gels with the wall paper theme or wall color and should also stand out to show.
Be sure to give space for the kids to unleash their creativity. This can be achieved by leaving a blank white area on the wall where they can draw or paint as and when they feel so. You can even have the child paint on one of the walls along with friends, so they can admire their work for days after that.
A child’s mind is a storehouse of fantasy and imagination. They would love to see themselves as one of their favorite TV stars or cartoon characters. You can have pictures of the characters on the walls and have the faces replaced by the child’s face in some of them or even just pictures of the child in different costumes.
As a responsible parent you should also find place for educational charts and pictures that can be used creatively to serve the purpose of learning while being decorative as well.
Add on decorative lamp shades and matching curtains, bed covers, pillow covers complementing the wall décor and this will surely turn your child’s room into an all time favorite place.
