You may want to inspire creativity, relaxation, or wonder through design. Not for yourself, but for the child who will be staying there. Many parents go the extra mile and paint unique portraits on the walls. It's a great way to make the room one-of-a-kind and to give the child positive early in life. Below are some creative ideas for decorating children's rooms. You can implement these ideas as they are or put your own twist on them to make them unique. None of the ideas are expensive and they don't require any sort of professional installation or interior decorators.

Welcome To The Jungle

All small kids seem to love animals. All of their favorite cartoon characters and cereal mascots are usually some form of animal. A jungle themed children's room is a great way to spark that love for wild life from an early age. The secret to jungle theme lies in the paint scheme. It's surprisingly easy to paint trees and tall grass around the border of the room. From there, you'll need to outline some animals, such as lions, monkeys, and birds in different areas around the room. Fill them in with paint and don't worry about realism. The cartoon look is always better. A bunk bed with a hammock on the bottom is great if it's only one child, but a bunk bed with two beds is always better if there are two kids in the room. Find standing lamps with a wild theme and add them to the mix. A collection of stuffed animals will seal the deal.

Flower Power

If the room is for a little girl, then you can stray from the jungle idea while still keeping nature in mind. Most girls love flowers. Paint a similar, but probably shorter, border of grass around the room. Instead of animals, add a mix of flowers, butterflies, and birds of different sorts.

If you're feeling really creative, then you can paint a white picket fence in one area. Maybe even a house in the background to give it that “Little House on the Prairie” theme. Stuffed animals, bean bags, and flowered lamps all work great with this theme.

When Decorating Children's Rooms Ask The Kid

It's a never a bad idea to ask the kid if they have any ideas for decorating children's rooms. After all, who knows what a kid likes better than the kid himself. Kids can usually give some pretty unusual and unique ideas. They may not all sound great, but they can give you a push in the right direction. You can even involve the kids in the entire process if they are old enough. Decorating the room can be a fun and memorable experience for the entire family.
