kids bedroom decor

Expanding The Imagination
There are no rules to where one goes once you have established the center piece in the room. Some people start with lamps and items close to the bed, others with other furniture pieces in the room. The easiest place to start is the curtains and the valance. The curtains should echo the chosen theme in the room.
A wall clock is a good idea if your child will see it directly from the bed. It’s a good thing to start teaching your child to tell time early. It also helps them develop a sense of routine and punctuality. A collage of framed wall pictures featuring the main characters in the chosen theme is an excellent idea especially if it matches the theme in the wall clock. It's an easy way to fill up wall space in your kid’s bedroom. A kid’s throw and plush pillow can be used to hang casually over a chair or literally be thrown in an open space or on a shelf needing color and balance. A delightful finishing touch is to replace the pull knobs on the drawers and cupboards with themed pull knobs especially if these carry images of the characters in the main stories you read your child at bedtime. Children touch these pull knobs many times when they are in their room.
A wall accessory that many parents forget is a wall growth chart – preferably one matching the theme in the room. A wall growth chart helps children develop a sense of maturing as well as growing. As their understanding grows and their values become refined, they see themselves growing against the chart. It's also a wonderful wall decoration and can be included in your plans for your kid’s bedroom decor.
