Do you plan on a bedroom makeover? Are two children using the room? Maybe only one child resides there. Do you wish to remove the loft bed with desk and replace it? Perhaps you are only going to repaint the room.
Ask the child or children. They know what they want. It is their living space. They can give you a good idea of how to do the makeover. It will be easier on you, also. You will not have to make the decisions.
If the children have a large say in the remake, they will be happier. They will also be more cooperative. In some cases, they may want something that will not work. That is time for diplomacy.
When you wish to influence the decisions of the young, give them choices. Tell them they can decide between several things. Make sure that all of those things are acceptable to you. When they decide, they will feel like it was their decision.
If your children are younger, they may like bright colors. Glossy blue, green, or red, may be a good choice. Paint items that may not need paint, under normal circumstances. You can paint ceiling fan blades and furniture. A glossy green twin loft bed will stand out, and appeal to many kids.
Paint color may be determined by the sex of the children. Pinks and soft colors may work in some cases. Blues and browns may work in other cases.
Here is another possibility. Take your Husqvarna chainsaw outside. Find a small tree to cut down. Cut it into small logs. Let the children incorporate them into the room. They can paint them or place them anywhere. This will give them a unique decor.
Makes sure they have plenty of chances for organization. Footlockers will look good and give them storage space. These are good for rooms with more than one child. It lets children have their privacy. They are not expensive, either.
Put a large chalkboard on one of the walls. The children can express themselves and their creative talents. This may make it easier on the walls, too.
Are you considering a new floor surface? It will need to be durable enough of kids. Carpet might not be a good idea. Vinyl tile will work well. The peel and stick type is easy to install. It will also be easy to keep clean. Ask the children which color they prefer. Let them know that neutral colors work best. You may sell the house in the future. A neutral floor will show well to prospective buyers.
Summary
It can be a fun and rewarding experience, when you makeover a room for children. Involve the kids as much as you can. They can choose wall and floor colors. Try cheery and bright colors. Do not forget to allow for storage and organization.
