When it comes to design a child’s room, the best way to handle it is to let them have a hand in the design process. This can be frustrating when you are dealing with kids who are not exactly sure of what they want, but it does give you an idea of their likes and dislikes. Once you know how they envision their room, you can then build off their ideas. Allowing them to have a helping hand in the design process ensures that they feel like they contributed to designing their room. In order for the process to go smoothly, you have to remember to be patient, stay in control, and allow them to get creative. Here are some ways you can have your kid design their new room addition:

Start with a Color

One of the easiest ways to let your child get involved with designing their new room addition is by letting them choose the color. It is ok to get bright when painting a kid’s room. Your child may have a different direction of how they want their room than you do. Most guests are not going to enter your child’s room when they come over and you want your kid to feel like they have their own space. If you want to get really creative, you can add polka dots, stripes, or something fun that would help make it even more fun for your child.

Make it Functional

One of the leys to keeping your child’s room organized is by designing it with plenty of storage. Kids seem to accumulate plenty of stuff and have a hard time getting rid of it. In order to help keep everything clean, you want to make sure your child has enough storage space to put their items away. By adding shelves and bins, you can keep things off the floor. Cleaning their rooms won’t be so bad in the future.

Add a Theme

Work with your child to find out what their passion is. Whether they like horses, dinosaurs, or cars, you want to make sure you incorporate these things into the design of their room. This will help make it more customized to their tastes. This can be done easily with the bedding, light fixtures, and even decals. You can even hang up framed photos to help add some décor to the room. You want to be sure you choose a theme that they will not grow out of quickly. This will only make you end up changing the theme quicker in the end. You want something that will last for years without them getting tired of it.

Most families focus on the kitchen and living rooms when decorating. Your kids need their own space too. By allowing them to be a part of the process of designing their room, they will feel like it is theirs. They are more likely to enjoy their room and spend time in it when they know they have designed it.
