Decorating your child’s bedroom can be an exciting and rewarding experience for both you and your young one. However, a lot of parents shy away from the task, thinking that it costs a lot to put together the room of their kid’s dreams. Pixlscapes believes that you absolutely can create beautiful, safe, and fun space for your child without breaking the bank. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can create a unique and inviting bedroom that your kid will love–without spending an arm and a leg. Here’s how:
Add whimsy with stick-on wallpaper murals
Stick-on wallpaper murals are an easy way to decorate a child’s bedroom without committing to an expensive–and permanent–paint job. Pixlscapes offers stick-on wallpaper murals in a wide variety of playful and whimsical designs that are sure to delight any child: from space-themed wall murals that will take them to the depths of the infinite galaxy to more down-to-earth styles that feature gentle woodland creatures, they have something that will surely fit your chosen theme and ignite your kid’s imagination.
Worried about your child outgrowing their wallpaper mural? Don’t fret! Pixlscapes makes use of a proprietary 100% cured adhesive material that makes their offerings easy to install, but still a veritable breeze to remove without damaging the walls. When your child grows into a young man or woman, simply peel off the mural and replace it with a new one. Don’t limit yourself to applying to the walls either: Pixlscapes’ stick-on wallpaper murals can also be installed on the ceiling, giving your child something to gaze on as they fall asleep.
Keep it simple
The first few years of your child’s life should be dedicated to play, and it’s important to give them space to do just that. It’s therefore recommended that you limit the furnishings in your child’s bedroom to the essentials. This way, you won’t have to spend on things they don’t need just yet.
For very young children, a bed and a place to store their belongings should be the first things you invest in. If there’s enough space for it, you may also want to furnish a small reading nook for them where they can spend some quiet time. Keep the decor simple, and you’ll create more space to play that can be easily added on to as your child grows and develops preferences of their own.
Repurpose what you already own
There are plenty of things around your home that you can probably “shop” to fill in anything that your child might need in their bedroom. Doing so will be significantly less expensive, since it’s going to be free!
There are ways to make your existing furnishings fit better into the bedroom’s theme. You can decorate the room in a specific color scheme (Kids love it when things are matchy-matchy!) and simply give the furniture a fresh coat of paint that follows that palette. Alternatively, you can cut pieces out of the same stick-on wallpaper murals you used on their walls to adorn the surfaces and sides of these pieces of furniture. Pixlscapes’ stick-on wallpaper murals will look great when installed over the top of a desk, for example, or on the sides of a freestanding cabinet or dresser. You can even use them on the drawers themselves, and simply update the hardware to something more child-safe.
Use creative storage solutions
It’s important to teach children the importance of keeping their rooms neat and tidy from a young age. You can help encourage this by keeping any storage solutions for their clothes, books, and toys at their height. They’ll then be used more often, since your child can get to them more easily. In addition to shelving and railing, you may also want to spring for bins that they can keep under their bed for their most prized possessions.
