Kids love brightly coloured and fun bedrooms, and there so many different types of paints, furniture and fabrics available that it is cheap and easy to get creative, and have a go a creating a fun room yourself. Thinking up a theme can be a great starting point, and this can help you achieve a more interesting and harmonious effect, and here few simple and easy ideas that are easy to do on a tight budget.
Under the Sea – this is a very popular theme, and gives you great scope to get creative. If you are confident with a brush then you could paint the walls a simple blue (perhaps graduating to a light colour at the top to indicate depth) and then paint some brightly coloured tropical fish and coral reefs over the top, or to make it easier you could cut fish shapes out of cardboard and then simply use them to stencil fish patterns onto the wall in different colours. Posters of fish and sea life are widely available, and you can also buy many sea related toys, patterned fabrics, rugs and ornaments.
Space Invaders – lots of kids are fascinated by space, and a bedroom based on this theme can be easy to create. Avoid painting the wall or ceiling black (which is not very cheerful or practical colour for a bedroom), and instead look around for some space themed wallpaper (there is lots of merchandise including wall paper and bed spreads based around space movies such as star wars for example). You can also get lots of excellent luminous stars and planets from toy and model shops, which can be stuck on the ceiling so that they glow softly at night.
Princess – this is one of the simplest themes to try out and is perfect for those on a really tight budget. Princess bedrooms will invariably involve a lot of pink, which can be a garish colour scheme, so think about toning it down a little by painting the walls a basic white or cream, and then hanging different coloured pink fabrics in drapes across the walls and around the bed. If you are handy with a brush then a mural of a princess’s castle would be a lovely addition, or you could find a large poster or print of a fairytale castle to hang on the wall.
Remember that this is your child’s room, where they will be spending a lot of time playing and socializing with friends, so it is important that you consult them on what theme they would like best before you get started.
