Decorating the Toddler's Bedroom
Decorating Your Toddlers Bedroom
When
it
comes to decorating for with a toddler in mind it all boils down to
two things. Simplicity and creativity. The two can coexist. Your child
will no doubt appreciate this new freedom of drawing on the
walls. He will love the idea of no longer getting in trouble for
creating artwork on the walls. This is where the creativity comes in.
Find a few stencils of your child's favorite animal, say a dog, and
stencil a dog in the very center of the wall.
If you decide to wait until your
child is three or four, you can go all out with a favorite storybook theme both
of you can enjoy, but you may still want to use a bit of caution. Expensive
trompe l'oeil hand-painting rendered on a canvas or board and protected with
polyurethane can be enjoyed for awhile and, when it's outgrown, saved for the
next generation. If your youngster clamors for some cartoon image you expect
will be a temporary thing, you may opt for posters and low-cost pictures. Tape
up a few, or spring for colorful, inexpensive frames with clear acrylic instead
of glass.
