Kids Decor: Ideas for Customizing Your Children's Bedrooms

Ideas for kids decor such as bunk beds, twin beds, themed quilts and sheets, and wall murals add to the fun and character of your child's bedroom.

When thinking about purchasing items for kids decor, it’s important to keep in mind the durability of the item as well as how well it will suit the theme of the room. Many companies make cheap pieces that are perfect as part of a kids decor, and you don’t have to spend a lot of money to put together a room that your child will love well into their teen years.

One of the most popular pieces as part of a kids decor is the bunk bed. It can be used for sleepovers as well as when you have guests at the house. When the child grows older and wishes to remove some of the kids decor from their room, you can simply separate the bed into two twins and either put them side-by-side or store the extra bed in another room.

Another popular aspect of kids decor is decorating the walls and ceiling with murals, interesting pictures or decals. The light up solar system is a popular item often used in kids decor. You simply affix the assorted stars to the ceiling and walls and once the lights go out the room becomes a mini planetarium for your child to enjoy. If glow-in-the-dark stars and planets are the cheap version of creating kids décor then a custom created mural is the expensive alternative. Many artists are willing to work with you on creating a custom mural for your child’s wall and will then paint the mural for a fee. This can be an especially unique way of customizing your kids decor to suit his or her individual taste and style.

Some people choose luxury kids furnishings when they are first establishing their decor for a room, but the reality is that children are messy and clumsy and will probably damage any furniture in their room. It is important to design your kids decor with an eye to cost and simplicity if your child is very young.

I know many children who have chewed through the bars on an Italian crib, ripped down a fancy set of custom drapes, or added their own artistic flair to the walls in crayon and marker. Don’t let this happen to your kids decor. When they are young, keep kids decor relatively inexpensive and easy. Creating unique kids décor can be as simple as outfitting the child’s bed with a funky quilt or special character sheets.

As children get older, they can have a voice in creating their own decor. Maybe they will want to help paint the walls in a special color or choose furniture that is interesting to them. This will enhance the time they spend in their room doing their favorite activities such as reading or drawing. When it comes to kids decor, the possibilities are endless.
