How to plan your So your child wants a bedroom makeover. You know it's time your daughter has had the same fairy wallpaper on her walls since she was three and now she's eleven but where does a parent to begin? The best place to start is with your child. Talk to her about her current likes and dislikes. Knowing ahead of time what she favors and what she doesn't will save a lot of time and unnecessary purchases later on. My daughter's best bedroom makeover was inspired by a trip to a local ice cream shop where she fell in love with the shade of her lemonade flavored sherbet. The sherbet was just the right motivator to get us started. We then had lots of fun shopping for coordinating accessories. We were able to incorporate other pastel shades into her room by selecting a comforter, sham, bed skirt and a window covering that coordinated well with her new lemonade sherbet walls. We were also surprised to discover that once the room had a fresh coat of paint and new bed coverings and window treatments that everything worked well with her existing furniture, flooring, and basic white storage containers. For very little money we were able to transform her space from a little girl's room into a stylish room fit for a pre-teen. And all without buying new furniture, getting new carpet or having to purchase new storage containers. As children grow and change so do their interests. A wise parent stays clear of the latest trends and focuses instead on creating a space that will carry the child through for a few years. So once you have decided on the most appropriate furniture for your child's room its time to focus your attention on flooring, paint and/or wall treatments and window coverings. Flooring can be basic or jazzed up with a throw rug (even on top of wall-to-wall carpeting). It's just another way of bringing all the colors in the room together. Once you have a general bedroom makeover plan in place it will be easy to pull the room together using a variety of accessory items. Buy Children`s Subjects posters and prints at Art.com If your child does favor a bold and trendy color you feel she will tire of easily consider painting only one wall. That way, she can still be in style but you won't have to repaint all her walls in a couple of month's time. The rest of her walls can be painted in a subtle more toned down shade or in a complimentary color. To learn more about color meaning, color psychology and color therapy visit www.decorating-kids-rooms.net Sometimes all you need to do to update the look of a room is to add a fresh coat of paint on the walls and a limited number of decorative accessories many of which may be available through a dollar or discount outlets. Window Treatments You often get to a point with a child's bedroom makeover when you know that enough is enough. Sometimes simple is best and yet other times all you need is just one more idea to complete the look.
