Do you have a little kid at home? Are you desperately searching for what to do for decorating their room? It’s so hard to know exactly what to do and when to go from little kid room, to more big kid decor, but the truth is, you can easily do a mix of the two.
I have a 3 year old son and I am right in the middle of this, I also have two older kids (12 and 15) and have been through it before, so I can help you get a start on how to do it. Of course, all of this is up to personal opinion, I just personally don’t like to have to completely redesign spaces every couple of years, so I follow some tips that have helped me create a great space, without making it too much work later.
Here are my favorite bedroom decor tips for little kids:
- Skip the Character Decor. Yeah, maybe I am a little picky, but this kind of decor rarely lasts long because the kids grow out of it. Maybe do a base color and designs, and just stick with a small character rug or maybe comforter.
- Make it fun. No need to act like they are adults. Let them have fun in their rooms. Add colors, do fun comforters or lamps, etc.
- LOTS of storage. Kids have so much stuff. SO. MUCH. STUFF. Make sure that it doesn’t overtake the room. To do this, you just need to make sure and have lots of storage available for toys, books, etc.
- Minimize. Speaking of too much stuff, why not take the time to get rid of some of it. How often do they play with all of it after all? Most of it they probably won’t even notice if it were gone, so minimizing the amount of stuff they had isn’t a terrible idea.
- Skip the TV. Kids are bombarded with screen time all the time anyway. They don’t need one more. Besides, that’s just one more thing to clutter up their space.
