It’s always a fun and exciting experience when you’re accessorising and decorating your kid’s room after getting all of the bedroom essentials. This is their private space, and they should feel comfortable, free and like themselves. The goal is to create a simple, beautiful and functional room where the child will spend some quality time.

For starters, keep it simple and focus on playtime. Choose pieces that double as decoration and entertainment elements. Use as much space as you can and play with colours on the walls. It’ll be great if you can also incorporate patterns and different textures because they stimulate little children’s brains.

Add Laser Cut Shapes

Laser-cut shapes have become one of the trendiest ways to decorate a kids’ room. You can choose from so many shapes, sizes, and colours that it can get overwhelming to decide. From an adorable laser cut rainbow, contemporary geometrical shapes, cute animals and plants, to names, dates and anything else you can think of. You’re just limited by your imagination.

The most common material these decorations are made of is clear acrylic. The engravings get a frosty finish, the edges melt with ease, and they catch the light beautifully. Black acrylic is almost a classic because of its elegant beauty. Amber bamboo comes next. It’s eco-friendly, can handle fine details and it’s cheaper. Birch plywood is also in the game with its durability, lightness, and stability.

After choosing the material, it’s time to choose the shape you want. You could get an interesting wall clock in any shape you want and add some interesting numbers. Learning how to tell the time will be a piece of cake. Cut the celestial shape of their zodiac sign and add LED lights behind it to make it shine. This works as a night light as well.

If you travel a lot, get a world map so you can pin the places you’ve visited together. This way the kid will have a visual reminder of all the adventures. If they like fairy tales, you could recreate their favourite scene in multiple layers. Planes, rockets, cars, and boats are another option. They’ll be a good imagination booster as your kid will create their own travelling adventures.

You could also set an aquatic scene with vivid colours or get a whole wall filled with flowers in many shapes, colours, and sizes. It’s okay to play with colours and patterns. Go bright in a toned-down room to add some interest. If the room already has many colours, you can add a wooden laser cut decorating piece to bring some calmness.

Incorporate Art

Incorporating art into a child’s room can be tricky. You can’t just get a landscape painting and hang it on the wall. Art has its physical and entertaining purposes and can be very stimulating for small children. If you can, avoid art that has a specific theme or a favourite character. These are things you can incorporate in their bedding or with toys.

Instead, if your child shows some interests try to incorporate that. For example, if they like to read get something book themed. Or if they like cars a nice car-related theme would be perfect. Get them involved in the process and ask them what they like and where they want the painting to hang. Children around 4-6 years of age have their opinions and want to do things in a certain way.

This is one of the rare rooms that allows you to play with colours. You could match the art piece with the carpet, the bedding or even the curtains. Even neon colours are acceptable. Instead of just one big frame, you can combine 3-4 smaller frames to make a cohesive wall piece. This way the room will get some much-needed dimension.

It’s a good idea to have an inspirational phrase printed and framed. These quotes stick with children and encourage them to be themselves and follow their dreams. Plus, they’re a great conversation starter and a good reminder of their childhood when they grow up. Having their name painted or printed and combined with a laser cut rainbow can be a fun way to brighten up the room. Of course, never forget about their masterpieces either. Framing their drawings boosts their confidence and makes them proud.

Choose Fun Lighting

Every place needs natural light, but kids’ bedrooms and playrooms need it even more. Especially when they’re just starting to walk. If you don’t have enough natural light, there are fun ways you can add lighting and elevate the space. Edison, globe, and abstract fixtures are examples of evergreen pendant lights that add a refined appeal.

They will create a setting that’s ideal for young children beginning to crawl or middle schoolers that have friends over. Accent lights are the ideal way to give your child’s room a little bit of its uniqueness. You can go with fun-shaped lamps such as a moon, a teddy bear, or an elephant. Match the lampshade with the colour palette of the room to make it cohesive. You can buy different lampshades and change them from time to time.

There are laser lights that project the amazing Aurora lights. This can be a fun way to incorporate lighting, and the kids will enjoy the mesmerising colours and patterns on the ceiling. One subtle way to add lighting is with the classic night lights. The laser stars dispersed all over the room will calm the children and help them fall asleep if they’re afraid of the dark.

Floor lamps are a great way to brighten up a dark corner or accentuate their play corner. These lights have enough light for the kids to play, read, study, or do some arts and crafts. Fairy lights hung on the wall around the bedposts or over the window give the room a nice gentle glow. A lot of kids find this light comforting and magical.

How About Adding Some Wallpaper?

There are no strict rules on how the wallpaper should look in this room. You can go with any colour or pattern you want. Make it themed, natural, bright, or calming. Just remember that kids grow, and their interests and tastes will change over time. So, it may be a good idea to go with something more general instead of specific characters and themes.

Pastel colours and animal prints are the most common choice for infants. But having the primary colours involved will be better for the child because they’ll stimulate the eyesight and help them recognise colours and shapes faster. A nice pop of colour is combining the chosen wallpaper with the rainbow laser cut tones. Calming and relaxing colours and patterns are good for toddlers because they need a lot of sleep and will nourish their imagination.

These are not strict guidelines to follow so feel free to experiment and see how the child reacts. Ask them if there’s something they like and dislike. If you make the choice together, they’ll feel involved and will have their wish come true. Just make sure you buy wallpaper material that’s easy to clean and remove.
