Children have ever-changing personalities, likes and dislikes. Such changes make it a challenging task for you to give your child's room a makeover to suit your child's personality. Decorating your child's room plays a vital role in bringing out the personality and style of your child. A room based on your child's personality, nurtures positivity and enhances productivity.
A makeover can be done in a safe, stylish and functional manner with the addition of a few new essential items, by using the ones you already have or by simply being organized.
Let’s head into Safety First
When we talk about safety, as suppliers of window treatments we are partial to talking about the safety of your child when it comes to window blinds. We always suggest that parents get:
1. Motorized blinds
Motorized blinds or shades are the best choice for your child's room. Not only can you lower, tilt, or raise your blinds with a touch of a button. But the best part about motorized blinds is there are no dangling cords. Dangling chords are a hazard when you have little children, who are generally inquisitive in nature and such chords are a source of mischief. Getting motorized blinds for your child's room will eliminate this hazard altogether.
2. Cordless Roman shades
These cordless shades have their cords attached to the back of the shades, not visible for children to pull on or get entangled in. Furthermore the cords are attached to the fabric of the shades, eliminating the need for loops.
3. Roller shades
Roller shades come in two different types: reverse roll headrail or a standard roll headrail.These shades come with a roll mechanism which does not require a cord to operate them. When you install roller shades in your child's room you need not worry about any cords.
4. Cordless Honeycomb blinds or cellular shades
These blinds are perfect for children of different groups.. They are made of layers of fabric and have cords attached to the inside of the fabric, making it impossible for little children to get a hold of the cord. Cordless honeycomb blinds are very versatile as it can give you privacy as well as ample natural light in the room, when you choose the cordless top down and the cordless bottom up cellular shades.
Let’s delve into making your child’s room stylish:
Let's say you have a daughter who has recently gone to watch the Barbie movie. When she comes back home, all she is going to ask for is a pink Barbie Core room. It becomes your job to give your child a pink Barbie core room to match her Barbie personality.
Color play is vital when choosing the color of your child's room. Choosing the right color can elevate your child's personality, thinking and overall well-being. For instance, the color green is believed to reduce anxiety, stress and help in relaxing your child. You can also choose vibrant colors like magenta or purple to bring out your child's vibrant spirit and character.
Not only by using color to uplift your child's mood or spirit, you can also use inspirational quotes and mantras to boost your child's morale on a daily basis.
Furthermore, you can order custom blinds at Sun blinds in Calgary with your child's favorite comic book heroes, action movie stars, cartoon characters or even Barbie printed on the window blinds.
Matching the choice of bedsheet especially if you have characters printed on the window blinds is a plus point when it comes to making your child's room stylish. Bed arrangement, drawer arrangement and mirror arrangement is important if you have a teenager. Having stylish pillows, fluffy blankets, a photo wall for all the memories, glow in the night stickers, or even a dreamcatcher could make your child's room stylish and homely.
Using all of these tips along with installing stylish custom made cordless window blinds will make your child's room not only stylish but a room that all your child's friends will love to visit.
Let's make it functional:
Making a child's room functional especially if you have a small child needs planning and organization. Start off by organizing your child's toys – a messy room becomes messier if your child likes to play with all of his/her toys all at once. This can be minimized if you have a storage cupboard dedicated solely for your child's toys.
Map out the different types of toys and keep them in separate storage bins, so that when your child wants to play let's say for instance a box of Legos. He/she knows exactly where to find the box of Legos.
Next, let's organize your child's stationary. Little children love to play with colors, paint or clay. Make sure that all your child's stationary is organized in separate boxes. This makes sure that all of your child stationary is organized and easy to find.
Not only little children but even adolescents can be messy when it comes to organizing their school books. Making sure that they have a designated study table and book cupboard, will encourage them to be neat, clean and organized. Fostering this kind of behavior will make sure that even when your child grows up they will continue with these positive habits.
One of the most important aspects of being functional in your child's room especially if you have a teenager is closet organization. Making sure your child has a proper closet for clothes will give your child responsibilities and a sense of belonging. Making sure that your child knows that it is his/her responsibility to keep the closet clean, clothes folded, laundry separated should instill in them a habit which will last a lifetime.
