Decorating Kid's Rooms

-
The idea of renovating a room in your home for your children starts around the time you find out you are expecting your bundle of joy. Many blogs and entire publications exist to cater to the high level of interest in parents, particularly moms, to create a perfect nursery or child's room. For a while now, I have worked with clients who want my help coming up with an exciting concept for their kid's room and I love these projects. Working closely with kid's and parents to make their dreams come true is very exciting. There are fewer rules and more freedom to go where imagination takes us. Here are some points that I always keep in mind while designing or remodeling kid's rooms.

Storage Galore

If you want your kids to tidy up after themselves, give them plenty of designated storage in their room. There should be an easily accessible array of storage for various items like toys, crayons, clothes and books. I prefer a combination of built-in and free standing storage solutions. 

 





Fun Beds

 There are many options for kid's beds such as double beds, bunk beds and twin beds. I like the idea of day beds in kid's rooms too. You can use colors, patterns and themes in the bedding to make it exciting.

A Place to Work

 An area to study and work is something kids need to have in their room. Shelves to store school supplies and a comfortable chair are important. See a few clever and attractive options below.







A Place to Play

An area to play is also something kids need to have in their room. A designated area with carpet or a rug works well for this. 





Themes Rock

I love themes in kid's rooms. See some fine examples below that I picked out of many because they are so much fun. Some are patriotic, some dark and serious and some are light and whimsical, but they all look amazing!

Once all these elements are in place, a child's room acquires a new personality and it is a lot of fun putting it all together. Until next time, Happy Decorating!

As a decorator and Stager, I understand the importance of creating vignettes around a home to add charm and personality. Side tables, or end tables as they are sometimes called, are a perfect way to add this designer magazine-quality touch to a room. It is a small piece of furniture with great purpose. Apart from the fact that we need a side tables to put down our food, drinks, books and remotes, they allow us to create interesting and unique displays of our favorite items and beautiful belongings.  The right place to start is to pick the perfect side table. Based on the rest of the furniture and the types of colors and finishes used, the side table should complement and not compete with the other items in the room. I like side tables with a unique touch adding a decorative element to an otherwise functional mix of furniture.  Some samples of stylish and versatile side tables:  In my research to find a wide array of side table decorating arrangements, I was frustrated to l

A daybed is a versatile piece of furniture that can be used in any room for seating by day and sleeping at night. With the increasing popularity of a home office, a day bed can create a dual purpose room by adding the possibility of using a home office as a spare bedroom if needed. From modern to contemporary, daybeds come in all styles and fit in to all types of decor. Doing double duty for seating or sleeping, the daybed represents casual comfort and relaxation. Some of my favorite daybeds are shown below.  Sleek and Modern Rustic Charm Using different materials and styles, daybeds can be made to blend with the rest of the room or stand out on it's own.  Leather & Wood Mid-Century Style An extremely functional piece of furniture, the daybed can also make a design statement and can be easily used to create a focal point.
