Wings to Imagination
Decorating tips that give your imagination wings to fly. Let it soar and dive and even do rolls in the air. But keep the feet of practicality rooted firmly in these decorating tips. If you follow them carefully, these interior design ideas will ensure that you avoid any expensive mistakes.
11. Lighting is about function, style and safety. The bedroom lighting has to be functional – a night light for the baby, desk light for studying and for reading in bed. Choose the style that goes with your theme. Keep an eye on safety. Ceiling lights and sconces are best as they help avoid wiring.
12. Cohesive look. To give your kid’s room a cohesive look, ensure that all furniture bought has the same finish. Try to match the light bases in the same color too.
13. Wall paint vs. Wallpaper. It is better to go with wall paint. Wallpaper can fade and peel. Keep the walls a neutral color, as it will go with any future décor changes. Give it a satin finish instead of flat paint. It is easier to clean the fingerprints, smudges or washable marker prints. If your child wants bold colors, experiment instead on furnishings…throw pillows, cushions or rugs.
14. Go overboard with accessories. Getting bored of all the have-tos? Here comes the fun part. Go wild with accessories and furnishings such as towels, rugs, and bedspreads…even wall decals or stick-on murals. The idea is to brighten up the bedroom without burning holes in your wallet.
15. Don’t overdo it. This is an important decorators’ tip. There are many accessories available for each theme. Be careful so the room doesn’t look overdone. Try to find different things related to the theme.
For example, if the theme is Spiderman, don’t buy Spiderman bedspread, pillow, lamp, posters, rug, toothbrush…the whole endless list. Instead, you could tie netting across one area (to hold soft toys?), find a poster of the Green Goblin or maybe a skyline silhouette. Put Spiderman only on the pillows and rug. The baby nursery or kids bedroom is a great place to experiment with your kids’ and your creativity. You can mix and match interesting bedroom ideas, craft your own projects and build a unique dream bedroom. Keeping the above-mentioned decorating tips in mind will ensure that your creativity doesn’t get out of hand. Top Page 1 - Page 2 - Page 3
