A child's room is a key aspect of the start of his or her life. The child's mood, outlook, personality, and moral values will all be affected by his or her room. Consider the toddler. Would you place them in a room with black walls and blood red trim? Certainly not! You would find something calm, soothing, with aspects for the child to look at and learn from.
Choosing the perfect room decor does not have to be a difficult matter. It is the simple process of asking yourself a few key questions.
1) What is my child interested in? Is it a particular cartoon character? Does this character offer good moral values and a solid learning slant?
2) What colors go well with the Childs interest? If your child is interested in a purple dinosaur, then you wouldn't want a deep brown colored background on the walls.
3) What all can I find to accent this interest? You will want more than just a picture of the character on the bedding. You will want posters, pictures, stuffed animals, toys, and murals.
4) How can I make this interest a learning experience? If it is the aforementioned purple dinosaur, have the dinosaur painted on the wall beside a stack of blocks with the alphabet on it. Have him writing his name even. Anything educational will do.
5) Lastly, will this be something that he will still be interested in next year? Children grow fast and inevitably lose interest in certain things quickly. Unless you want to redecorate the room every year, you will need to find something that he or she will be content with for some time.
A room is a fortress for a child. They will spend a minimum of fifty percent of their childhood within those four walls. Through bedding and decor, we can make that time worth something.
