Kids’ Rooms: How to rev up the décor fun

Kids do have preferences when it comes to bedding, colours and furniture, so be sure to incorporate their personal tastes when revamping the bedroom.
Kids Bedroom
Little boys may dream of being superheroes while girls fantasise  of being princesses. Creating rooms where they will be the kings and queens of their castles is easy and fun when you get them involved.
As the kids grow up, a great way to transform the room is by keeping permanent aspects neutral and simply adding and removing décor pieces to update the style or theme.
Girls
Girls may love everything in pink when they are younger, but what happens when they outgrow this phase?
Opt for neutral walls and work in character and colour with bedding, wall art and lighting pieces like the Blossom Desk Lamp from Bright Star Lighting. Another great way to achieve this is by incorporating accents of pink using the Giraffe Fabric by Studio Collection to upholster cushions or make curtains.
Add more colour with the Eames Inspired Elephant Chair from Fivemore and, for a personal touch, allow kids to hang up their artwork and posters of their favourite characters.

When the terrible teens kick in and girls no longer wish to be princesses but rather rock stars, you can change the room without the hassle of starting from scratch. Replace posters and pink bedding and add a work station for homework. Pieces like Cushi’s Buntings Cushion are perfect for a hint of colour in a teenager’s room.

Boys
If your boys are crazy about superhero movies, a themed bedroom is a great idea! But when they surpass that phase and dream of being football stars and musicians, the same rule applies. Keep the permanent aspects like wall colours in neutral shades and use décor pieces to bring in new styles.
For a little superhero fan, keep the room themed with character bedding, curtains and wall pieces. Incorporate a work station and keep it well lit with the Le Havre Table Lamp by Bright Star Lighting. Lighting pieces like these will also easily transition into a teen’s room.

Keeping boys’ bedrooms neat is no easy task, and no one is up for it after playtime! The practical yet creative solution to this is storage. With smart shelving and packing space disguised with trendy design, a piece like the Submarine Toy Box by Yaku is a must-have and is sure to appeal to the little ones too!
