Decorating a child’s bedroom can be a tricky process, whether you’re designing the room for the first time, or you’re redecorating for a child who has grown older, you need to think about what’s going to make for the most beautiful room.
At Guineys.ie you can find a broad range of furnishings and fittings for you to choose from when you’re making the best of your little one’s space. Here are some key tips to consider, to help you make the right choices.
Understand colour psychology
Colour and mood are very closely linked, and the colour choices you make can have a marked difference on the way your child feels and behaves while they’re in that room. It’s important to make sure you understand the basics of colour psychology – how more vibrant colours inspire more energy and cooler colours are more calming. This will help you to make sure your child doesn’t become overly excited, and can enjoy their room as much as possible.
The right fittings and accessories
Decorating a room is about far more than just painting or papering the walls – spend some time choosing the fixtures and fittings you’re going to go for. The accessories you choose such as bedding, decoration, cushions, rugs and mats, and more, all have a huge impact on the way the room will look. Whatever you choose is going to have to be child-friendly, of course, but you still have so many options to choose from that it demands a considered approach.
Ask your child for input
Something it’s important to remember is that your child has to spend a lot of time in the room, so be sure to ask them what kind of things they would like. Of course you can’t let them make all the decisions, but their input should always be a factor in the choices that you make. If they have a favourite colour, you’ll be able to get a perfect shade to paint the room in. Similarly if they want a play area or space for certain activities, factor it into your plans.
Designing your child’s bedroom can be easy if you take a considered approach – understand how your colour choices will affect your child’s mood, accessorise to provide the maximum visual appeal, and keep your child involved through as much of the process as possible.
If you do these three simple things, redecorating will be easy.
