Decorating Ideas For A Toddler’s Bedroom
Is it time for you to clear out your child’s crib and design a bedroom centered around your toddler’s interests? One of the best ways to do this is by using calming colors to encourage rest and interactive toys for play time. You can also make things run more smoothly by designating specific play areas. Below are a few ideas to help you get started.
Taking your child’s crib out and converting the room to a toddler room can be very bittersweet for you and exciting for your toddler. They may be apprehensive at first, but one way to help them during the transition is to use calming colors. Their bedroom should encourage rest, above everything else. Lighter colors, such as tans, blues, lavenders, etc., are said to help relax instead of stimulate. I believe every mom agrees that at bedtime the last thing you want is your toddler stimulated! Any way you look at it, calming colors seem to be the way to go.
If you do not have a separate play room for the children, and the bedroom serves as both, you should incorporate some interactive toys in the room to keep your child entertained during the day. Maybe your little girl’s dresser can also serve as her vanity and her toy box as her dress up closet. For the little boy in your house, maybe you incorporate a bunk bed that he can use as a fort by draping blankets over it so that the bottom bunk in enclosed. Train tables fit great in corners and little boys love these as well. The possibilities are endless!
Organizing the room is important. It gives an early orientation for the child to value cleanliness. One way to organize the room is by using area rugs. Not only do area rugs serve this function in addition to acting as a floor covering and cushion, but area rugs also give more appeal to the bedroom. There’s more color, design, shape and pattern. A rug with cars as designs can fulfill a little boy’s interest for toy cars and such. It’s like having his own racetrack! But yes, a lot softer and safer. An area rug with animals or cartoon characters as design gives a little girl more friends to join her playhouse fun. A rug as a main play area is comfortable. Sitting on the floor or rolling around will become less painful for your baby…and for you.
Finally letting go of the nursery and preparing for a toddler room is exciting and yes, emotional. Your baby is growing up! In a few years, you will again be redecorating for a preschool kid and saying goodbye to a toddler sanctuary. So don’t use anything too permanent. You might regret it for the hard work you have to do later on.
