The toddler room is an important space for your child and you as a parent. It’s developmentally appropriate and fun, yet safe and secure for them to explore their imagination. The following are some tips on children room
1 .KEEP IT TIDY
Children are messy by nature. Design their bedroom with this in mind to ensure they get the message that cleaning up is part of life. A place for everything and everything in its place helps children learn self-discipline at an early age.
2 . ADD A THEME
A room can be designed around a particular theme, such as sports. The child can pick his colors and bedding, even the wallpaper if he is old enough to help out. If not, just let him dream and talk about what it would look like one day.
3 . ANTICIPATE ADOLESCENCE
The teenage years can bring a need for privacy, even embarrassment, so think about building in some clever storage to keep the teenager’s ‘stuff’ out of sight. Under-bed drawers, large wardrobes, and spaces for lockable boxes are good ideas to help teenagers feel they have their territory within the family home.
4 . CHOOSE FURNISHINGS WISELY
Choose light, neutral fabrics, and designs that can be changed often to suit the child’s changing tastes. Cushion covers are ideal in this respect because they can be swapped for another color when they get dirty.
5 . MAKE BEDS FUN
Even toddlers love nothing more than jumping into their cot or bed at night-time. So keep toddlers happy by choosing bedding with a high level of comfort, particularly if they like to sleep with trains or teddies.
6 . ENCOURAGE CREATIVITY
Use curtains as backdrops for favorite drawings and paintings so that children can show off their work. Add some decorated spotty lampshades or cover the floor in brightly colored rugs to encourage natural creativity.
7 . WATCH OUT FOR TODDLERS
Toddlers love climbing and falling, so it pays to fit sturdy railings and solid flooring throughout the room so they can roam free without fear of injury. Make sure curtains and blinds are child-safe too, and designed to withstand some rough and tumble play sessions.
