Time will come when you will need to separate your little kids from sleeping in the same bed as you and your husband. While they’ll still be living under the same roof, having your child sleep alone is a thing that we fear and look forward to at the same time. Aside from the fact that your child will now exercise a sense of independence at an early age, this is also one opportunity for you as a parent to bond with your kid in styling and decorating their future rooms, or kingdoms, in the most creative and quirky ways possible.
Since this is going to be your kid’s room for at least a decade, you must ensure that the room’s location fits, as he or she grows older. Make sure that the fixtures inside the room are adjustable, and the space is just the right size for a growing person. As much as possible, let your kid occupy the nearest room to yours, or an older sibling so as when the thunder strikes and scares your kid, a quick dash would be possible to carryout.
Be playful with the theme that you would want to use for your child’s bedroom. Always ask about his or her wants so that the room would turn out the way he or she visualizes it to be. Stimulate your child’s imagination by picking the best colors, particularly the calming ones, and always stick to what you both planned at the very beginning. Remember that this would be their room and not yours, so keep your motherly or fatherly guidelines at bay and let them drive the wheel. Encourage creativity by means of infusing elements of fantasy and let their imagination fly. Wall motifs focusing on cartoon characters, kids’ literature and the like will be a good start.
If you picked a calm and serene wall color, be intelligent enough to splash vibrant colors on the furniture that would be placed inside. Get contrast at its peak. Let the upholstery be neon when the wall is deep blue and always be fancy in putting small rugs to prevent slips and accidents. Comfortable and huge beanbags used as chairs and low-height beds also ensure your child’s safety.
Keeping the kids in touch with nature is also a discipline that you want to instill; so putting plants inside the room would not be a sin. Citronella plants won’t just make the room mosquito-free, the plant’s innate smell would be pleasant inside the room, inducing visions of nature and the outdoors. You might also want to let your kid treat the plant as some sort of project by caring for the plant’s growth.
Don’t ever overcrowd the room by putting huge shelves of books that are just built for style or hundreds of photo frames scattered on the bedside table. Keep the space in the middle of the room for playing and having friends over. Adorn the room with lightly colored curtains to produce a sense of freshness and relaxation at the same time. If you have two kids sharing one room, settle for bunk beds instead of twins.
Organization is also another value that you would want your child to learn, so teach them how even when decorating their rooms. Set toy cabinets at bay and show them how to arrange the toys in a cramped yet organized manner. Put labels on boxes and show them what the contents are and must be. Pinpoint where a thing should be placed and be vigilant to keep track if your child is obeying it or not.
