Children of a certain age tend to dream about having bedrooms decorated like what their minds have visualised or their imagination captured from a fairytale book or movie. Depending on their interest, they could want any decore design ranging from Cinderella to Barbie or a room with sparkling stars and the moon.

When you give them the bedroom of their dreams, engage them in the design process. Allow your children to experiment with ideas, colours and placement of items in their bedroom, guiding them all the way. It will help create fun memories of their childhood.

Try these six ideas to help feed your children’s imagination and interests.

1. Colour

Children benefit significantly from the use of colour. Use it to infuse invention and playfulness in their bedroom to boost their imagination and playtime. It carries a bold appeal to them. Besides that, colour brings life to a room. When mixed rightly, the colour speaks out.

Add a little sparkling light to the painted wall to achieve a glow effect.

2. Cloud Motif

Their bedroom walls can be painted navy blue, purple, pink or blue with a white motif of clouds between the painted walls.

The beauty of a cloud motif-decorated bedroom is that it works for male or female children. Research says that the motif helps them drift to sleep better with a cloud right above their head.

This interior design stimulates a child to have sweet and pleasant dreams while removing the thought of a scary villain attacking them in their sleep.

3. Tree Themed Bedroom

The tree-themed interior design looks good and will help inspire your children’s imaginations. It can be a substitute for a tree house.

4. All Blue Stereotypes

Blue is an excellent colour for a boy’s bedroom. It can be serene, playful and handsome. It is a calming interior design idea for him. Consider using blue for everything from the paint to the duvet, bed sheets, cabinets, and reading table. Add a touch of white using pillowcases or a reading lamp.

5. Star Wallpaper And Lighting

Star wallpaper and lighting can make a room glow, especially at night and when the lights are switched off. It is easy to apply and stays on the wall or the ceiling until you’re ready to remove it.

This interior design brings a galaxy vibe to your children’s rooms and makes them feel closer to the galaxy.

6. Cartoon Characters

All children have their favourite cartoon shows. You can design their rooms with cartoon characters and themes. The interior design applies to both genders.

Have fun while creating unforgettable memories with your children.
