Creating A Kids Dream Room

Every child dreams of having a special place of their own - a room or a reserved space in the home that's all theirs and all about them. A room that shows their tastes, preferences and creativity. You and your child can design a special space like that for only a few dollars, a bit of elbow grease and a lot of creative thinking to get some great Kids Room Decorating Ideas.

• Paint is less expensive and more versatile for decorating than wallpaper. It's easier to apply and faster to change when you want a new look or your child grows out of the current design. You can add patterns and special effects with paint. I once painted clouds on blue walls in my daughter's bedroom, then added rainbow stripes around the top of the wall - she loved rainbows and we made her a rainbow place.
• You can also try out using the new peel and stick, repositionable wall stickers and letters to decorate your child's room with a theme or favorite poems or quotes - or their name! Amazon offers a wide variety of cute Kids Room Wall Stickers at reasonable prices.
• Paint is forgiving, washable and nontoxic. Paint with low- /r no-VOC paints in your child's bedroom or try milk paint on the furniture and wood trim.
• You can create all sorts of interesting murals or wainscotting effects with paint - fences, flower gardens, seashores, roads and more. If you're not comfortable painting these free hand, try using stencils or patterns made from coloring page art. You can use an inexpensive sponge cut into basic shapes to paint designs from diamonds, stars, hearts, moons, zigzags, bugs, butterflies and flowers.
• If you have kids that love to paint on walls, try adding a coat of chalkboard paint to the lower section and let the kids express themselves any time at all. You can buy chalkboard paint in a number of colors, so you're not tied into using black.
