An imaginative children’s room for little money: We have 4 tips on how to make your little one’s kingdom child-friendly without digging too deep into your pocket.
Designing Children’s Rooms: 4 Small Ideas With A Big Impact
1. Keep The Furniture As Neutral As Possible
Pink for girls, blue for boys – this choice of colors is best seen in the individual pieces of furniture… but don’t! Instead, opt for neutral white or furniture in natural tones and change the accessories in the room from time to time to suit your child’s interests and tastes. Furniture that grows with you is expensive to buy at first, but is worth it in the long run. Before you buy anything new, ask if friends have something for sale or browse classified ads and flea markets. There is often robust and durable furniture that many children still enjoy. When buying furniture, go by the shape and don’t be put off by dark brown & Co. If in doubt, you can use the brush yourself and paint the desired piece of furniture in the right color.
2. A Child’s Room Is Always Colorful Enough – Even Without Colored Walls
Has the future children’s room been painted white not so long ago? Then feel free to leave it at that or stage just a single wall with your child’s favorite color at the moment. This is not only cheaper and involves less effort, but also easier to fix if your little rascals’ favorite color changes drastically. Instead, rely on brightly colored textiles, pictures, lamps, garlands, etc. This also makes the children’s room colorful and friendly. You will find out more about this in a moment.
3. Paint Looks Great In A Child’s Room
Just paint the walls without getting in trouble: the dream of many children comes true with chalkboard paint. This can either be painted on the wall or used to repurpose old furniture for children. The combination of magnetic and blackboard paint is particularly great. It is funded with magnetic paint and painted over with chalkboard paint. So the little ones can not only paint the walls with chalk, but also pin pictures, homework, etc. to them. Magnetic or blackboard paint can be bought for around 20 euros per liter, some manufacturers also offer a combination of both, namely magnetic blackboard paint. In general, by the way, blackboard paint is not only available in the black and green that we know from school days, but also in delicate pastel tones. Just ask at your trusted hardware store.
4. Bed canopy, Fabric Remnants And More: Relies On Textiles
Curtains, carpets, bed linen, pillows & Co.: As long as your child is not allergic to dust, textiles make up a large percentage of a child’s room. Many fabric and craft shops regularly offer their discarded goods, so it’s always worth browsing. For example, beautiful garlands can be made from scraps of fabric. For example, you can easily conjure up a cheap bed canopy from an old curtain. Another way to use leftover fabrics: frame them! Old picture frames are a welcome stage for cushion covers, tablecloths or T-shirts with beautiful prints that are no longer used. Even leftover (children’s) wrapping paper finds its place on the wall. And you don’t have to be afraid of style breaks: the little ones are known to be happy about kunterbunt.
