    To create a room your little one will love, try focusing on the thing they love to do most: play!

    Studio DIY

    Kids love color, but choosing the right one can be tricky. Sure, your little one may adore all things hot pink now, but that doesn’t mean they will later, and the thought of repainting the entire room in just a few short years is enough to give anyone color commitment issues.

15 Stylish Headboard Ideas to Elevate Your Bedroom

ideas for a cozy and comfortable interior

Children are the flowers of life. We would like them to always remain small, but we know that this is impossible. In this case, you need to make their early years very bright and memorable. The environment plays a big role in this. Try to surround your child with beautiful things and create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. And we will show you how to decorate a children's room with your own hands.

Children's room should be cozy and beautiful

General rules

To get started, you need to take into account several important factors for arranging a cozy and beautiful nursery.

  • Age. Childhood lasts more than one year. Over time, preferences and interests change. The decor should be appropriate for the age of the child and his current passions. By the way, it is advised to change the decor at least once every two years. nine0010
  • Personal preference. Maybe up to a year the baby will agree with your choice, since it does not make much difference to him in which cradle to lie, as long as it is comfortable. But at the age of 1-2 years, he is quite capable of choosing his favorite jewelry, color, cartoon characters and other passions. Of course, at this age there are still no clearly formed views, but the child is able to describe personal preferences. Don't ignore this factor, and be sure to talk to your baby before making decisions about what to do next. nine0010
  • Materials. Choose only hypoallergenic materials that do not cause adverse health effects. In addition, all components of the decor must be of high quality.
  • Dimensions. Remember that bulky and too bright decorations are not suitable for a small room. Choose decorations in such a way that they look harmonious and do not overload the space.
  • Comfort. For the sake of this factor, sometimes you have to sacrifice beauty. Do not forget that the environment in the first place should be comfortable for both parents and their children. nine0010

The color palette of the interior affects the condition of the child

The scenery should harmoniously fit into the atmosphere of the room and not put pressure on the child's psyche

Now we can start choosing the area and how to decorate.

Choosing the right area

You can decorate a children's room in various ways. The choice of method largely depends on the zone. Most often decorate walls, ceiling and furniture. We will analyze the options for their design:

Region Method
Furniture Stickers, flat figures, fabric or paper
Walls Framed drawings, illustrations, stickers in various materials, compositions
Ceiling LED or conventional stickers, garlands, 3D paper figures

Let's take a closer look at our capabilities.

The wall of the room is often decorated with a family tree. And why not place family photos on another plant, for example, on reeds? nine0003

Furniture

Decorating the bed is a great idea. Let's start simple. You can come up with various decorations made of fabric or paper and hang them above the bed. A common option is rattles in the form of a carousel. But it's only for the little ones. For older children, the design needs to be changed.

An easy way to decorate furniture - bright stickers with children's stories

The cradle is replaced by a bed for younger preschoolers, changes are expected in the scenery. Now you can decorate the bed and wardrobe with various stickers that your baby will love. For girls, you can build pompoms or make other hanging decorations. nine0003

Furniture can be decorated using decoupage technique

Your little fashionista will definitely love these colorful tulle embellishments

A great option when the bed itself becomes a decor. In the store you will find a wide variety of models of children's beds: in the form of a rocket, an airplane, a castle, etc. Children will definitely appreciate this idea, and the room will become a real work of art with such a bed.

This is the most extensive area for creativity. Here you can use all your skills and decorate the nursery with your own hands, without resorting to outside help. Wool, linen, felt, corrugated or colored paper, cardboard, old CDs and much more - all this will be used.

There are a few less opportunities here, but they are there. Various garlands are well suited for the ceiling. In this case, paper is required. Here you can glue pompoms, pendants from stars, snowflakes and other shapes.

Bright balloons will look great on a light ceiling

Also, the ceiling is often decorated with stickers. A good option is LED stickers. They will help the baby sleep better and cope with the fear of the dark, if any. We figured out the zones, now more about interesting ideas. nine0003

Drawings in progress

A good way to stimulate a child to develop in a creative direction and instill in him a love of art is to show him what he can create. In this case, it will be useful to decorate the children's room with drawings made by the hands of the baby.

Home exhibition of children's art

Choose beautiful frames, create interesting compositions, add pictures or your own drawings if necessary. Beat children's creativity in an interesting way, and the child will believe in himself. If you still show the guests the creative samples of your child, he will definitely believe in himself. But do not overdo it, be truthful and drop flattery. nine0003

Photos will create comfort

To keep wonderful moments in your memory longer, it is worth capturing them in photographs. And do not leave them lying idle in the folders of the computer - make a collage. This idea will help you remember the wonderful moments of life, as well as give comfort and tenderness to the atmosphere.

To place a photo on the wall, you can make a “long frame” from thin slats

nine0002 Or attach strings and hang pictures on clothespins

To organize a collage, you will need a sheet of whatman paper, glue, scissors, photographs. Also stock up on various decorations. These can be newspaper clippings, coloring books, printouts, voluminous or flat figures and other decorations to your taste. Check out cool photo posting ideas and get started.

Create right on the walls

nine0002 Now we decorate the nursery with drawings applied directly to the wall. You can do it yourself or invite a specialist. You can also entrust the brush to your son or daughter, and create together. But in the latter case, you need to have talent and imagination in order to turn inept attempts at writing into a real masterpiece.

Wall art creates a small world in the room

A good option is watercolor or water-based paint. Take a brush, the necessary paint and create. nine0003

Important! The watercolor wall should be plastered, but not wallpapered.

An interesting idea is to first draw a tree, and then fix the shelves for beautiful decorations

If your artistic skills do not allow you to create on a blank canvas, use stencils or a projector to apply your favorite design.

Paper decorations

This is a universal variant. It is suitable for decorating any surface. To create a decor with your own hands, any paper is suitable: corrugated, colored two- or one-sided. With it, you will be able to embody many ideas. nine0003

The child will undoubtedly want to make and stick on simple decorations

A good option is a family tree. Cut out the silhouette of a tree from cardboard and attach it to the wall. You can add a crown or leave the silhouette appliqué. Now place photos of family members on the branches and sign the composition. There are many varieties of this tree. Take our idea as a basis, and feel free to make changes.

Make all kinds of applications together: cut, glue, create beauty. Trace your hands on a sheet of paper, cut out their silhouettes and form a composition by adding appropriate inscriptions and decorations to the pens. nine0003

Birthday Decor

Birthday is a special holiday for a child. You try to make it memorable and beautiful. Decorations will help with this. Get special inscriptions and hang them on the walls and ceiling. You can create similar inscriptions with your own hands.

Arrange a real holiday for your child

Lettering can be done directly on balloons

Hang additional holiday decorations. It can be compositions from balls, paper pompoms or other shapes. Form a garland of photos and appropriate birthday captions. This will give guests a festive mood. nine0003

Celebrating the New Year

We advise you to additionally put a small Christmas tree in the children's room. The main attribute of the holiday must decorate this room. You can put artificial gifts under the Christmas tree, and real ones closer to the holiday. Hang up your handmade snowflakes. New Year's homemade garlands and themed toys look great.

If there is a slate in the room, you can draw New Year's drawings on it

Use cones, spruce branches and other natural materials to create all sorts of compositions. New Year's toys, tinsel, photographs, sweets and even tangerines will be used. All this will help to bring the New Year mood into the house. nine0003

Giant white paper snowflakes look great on a plain wall

Decorations in the nursery are of particular importance and must be liked by the baby. Consult with him and use all your imagination.

10 inexpensive ways to decorate a child's room

Kids grow up so fast! Today your little one looks at books with dinosaurs, and tomorrow he will wake up and he will suddenly like stories about polar travelers. The older the child gets, the more "artifacts" demonstrating his interests appear in the children's room. We offer a selection of interesting and inexpensive ideas that will sound in unison with the child's hobbies and help make the atmosphere in the nursery a little more magical, with a touch of adventure and fantasy. And of course, many projects from the selection can and should be done with children! nine0003

Order first

Our blog is about order, which means we should talk about it first of all even in an article with such an abstract topic. Moreover, I know a way to organize the order in the nursery beautifully and interestingly: use curly or multi-colored marking stickers . They can mark everything - from a chest of drawers with clothes to containers with toys or stationery.

For toddlers who can't read, shaped clothing stickers are ideal. They are stylish and funny - a real decoration for the nursery. (By the way, many dads will also appreciate this decor - how much time will you save husbands in case they themselves have to collect the child outside :)

For older children, multi-colored stickers or "slate" stickers are suitable, on which, like on a blackboard, you can draw with a special white marker. Attach them to cabinets and chests of drawers, containers, boxes, toy boxes, sign what is stored in them, and cleaning up after games or a big wash will be quick and fun.

Garlands

Garland is a decoration that will create a holiday in any room. In order to make a garland, use any materials at hand - paper, cardboard, fabric scraps, yarn and ribbons. nine0003

Ribbon garlands make great decorations for playing Indians. And themed garlands with stars or ships will appeal to future travelers.

Electric garland can be supplemented with cardboard and plywood decor, shaped with wire, using any means at hand. And then the New Year's accessory will become an all-season decoration.

Suspended structures - mobile

In fact, this is a kind of garlands - they look different, but no less impressive. A mobile can be made from a hoop, an embroidery hoop, using any suitable frame, from which decorated threads, ribbons, and generally anything that you decide to hang on it (yes, even LEGO cubes) will hang like streams of rain.

Exhibition of children's drawings

It is very important for any child that adults appreciate his creativity. I see this in my children, who, from an early age, holding out their drawings, look into my face - do you like it? To make simple devices for the exhibition of children's drawings is a 5-minute lesson. But the effect of them is stunning, both for the child's self-esteem and for his personal space. nine0003

Use rails, ropes, clothespins, curtain pegs, bag clips or blank frames.

Vinyl stickers

Vinyl decals are a popular and inexpensive way to decorate walls in a child's room. Now you can choose a plot for every taste. And a person can transfer the sticker to the surface even without art education. In addition to walls, you can decorate doors and furniture. And there are stickers that glow in the dark. Imagine a room in which, after the lights are turned off in the evening, stars and planets light up on the ceiling - magical! nine0003

Wall art

A way to decorate a nursery, which, of course, will require more money and time. But looking at examples of children's rooms with wonderful drawings on the walls, you can find inspiration for painting work. Moreover, minimalism is in fashion now, plain walls and drawings with a simple plot, which many of us can reproduce.

Wall to draw on with crayons

Concluding the topic of bullying the walls, I will mention a trick that has been at the peak of popularity for several years now: walls on which you can draw with crayons, like on a slate board. It's not that hard to get one. You can order special vinyl stickers with a coating adapted for crayons. And you can buy paint for slate boards. Add paint to it, which creates a magnetic layer - then, in addition to the crayons on the wall, you can use magnets. nine0003

Smart furniture

Expensive bedspreads, pillows, tablecloths, etc. there will be no discussion here. But there is a way to turn the most ordinary bed of a little princess into a marshmallow cloud, and the desk of a growing football fan into a goal. See for yourself.

Shelves for favorite toys

There are a million and one ways to organize the storage of toys, books, stationery in the nursery. But I chose one - captivating with its simplicity and lightning-fast performance. Only for the most beloved toys, from which the heart is joyful - it is worth throwing one look. All you need is a string or ribbon, a stick or a narrow bar. nine0003

Recycled decorations

Recycling things, especially packaging, is a great way to demonstrate your environmental responsibility. Packaging from products: juices, milk, canned food, carbonated drinks and household chemicals can find a new life in the nursery, bringing comfort and organization to it. (By the way, in the lower right photo is a homemade model of the solar system, which used to be a wall clock. My eldest daughter and I made it after the clock was hopelessly broken)

Extraordinary uses for ordinary things

Children's room is a place where fantasy lives.
