What’s great to know is that home design experts have put together a list of ways you can decorate children’s rooms in Orlando luxury homes or Oviedo real estate without breaking the bank and making it place that is equipped with more imagination than money.
Below are 4 ideas to help you gift your child with a “new” room this holiday season.
1) Themes
Living in or near Orlando, you know that what is popular now will be replaced with the next best thing six months from now. You don’t want to revamp your children’s room in Orlando luxury homes or even in an Oviedo real estate property over the holiday, and by mid-summer have your son or daughter tired of today’s latest look.
When it comes to specific themes, try to dissuade your child from trying to create the entire room around that a specific character or theme. Consider using just a few relatively inexpensive elements to highlight their interest in a character or theme without going overboard. A couple of posters or collages are just a couple of ways to include a theme without changing the entire room.
When you know what your child is likes, set some time aside to go to garage sales, flea markets or an online sales site or auction to find well-priced themed items.
2) Paint
A room can be transformed with a fresh coat of paint. Paint is a cost effective decorating feature that will make the space feel like an entirely new room, and your child will love being able to pick out their own color.
Besides just choosing the color, ask your kids to get involved. Have them tape off the windows or electrical outlets, and if your child is old enough have him or her pick up a paint brush.
What’s great about paint is that it can be changed easily. So in a few years when your child has outgrown this color and wants another, it’s not hard to do.
Start looking for paint sales from local home improvement stores. When you see a good deal, pick up some paint with your child’s wishes in mind. It is easy to play off of a color by adding in inexpensive throw rugs, pillows, and other decorative touches.
3) Shelving and Bookcases
By creating specific spaces within your child’s room where shelves can be added or bookcases place, they will then have a space to change up their room easily and simply.
They can sit their favorite stuffed animals on the shelves, and then next year take those down and place their superhero collection or Barbie dolls. Not only can shelving and bookcases provide your children with a place to keep their favorite items in eye shot, it gives them the control to change their own rooms theme as they grow out of them.
This will save you time and Orlando luxury homes from too much repaint to refurbishing.
