Unique Ways To Decorate Children's Rooms, Playrooms

By Eve Canipe


If you are decorating your baby or child's room or perhaps your children's playroom, you are probably hoping to make it truly personal and beautiful. Here are some unique ideas that will make any room special.

Think about the walls when planning a room for a baby or toddler, as small children are so responsive to any visual stimuli. Photography is a great way to decorate and help children learn about their environment. You can even transform furniture into a visual statement. Find a company that produces custom photo tables and place one in your child's room or playroom. Choose a color that suits your dcor and select family photos, pictures of cars, teddy bears, baby or even a giant flower to cover the whole table top, whatever matches your theme.

When planning a baby shower, a christening or perhaps baby's first birthday, consider using an event sign-in board to create something special for the child's room. An event sign-in board has wide matting surrounding a special photo. Loved ones can write messages for the baby and you can place a special photo in the center. This will be a keepsake they will treasure for a lifetime as well as a nursery decoration. Photo collages are another option; you can create them in virtually any theme or showcase members of the family.

Customized alphabet and learning charts are a great option for decorating the room or play area of a toddler or preschooler. Not only will they enjoy the pictures, they will be learning about language. Consider using pictures of family members and even beloved pets or stick within a chosen theme. You can also enlarge photos to create huge pictures or posters that feature any theme or showcase favorite family photos.

If you are artistic, you could design a mural or large piece of artwork for one wall of the room, such as a large tree, a rainbow or perhaps butterflies, flowers or dragonflies. There are also handy, oversized decals available that are not only decorative, but easily removed as your child's interest change. Another fun option is to paint a wall or area with chalkboard paint and allow your little ones the freedom to create their own scribbles and drawings.

Storage is always an important consideration when decorating a child's room. Toy boxes are cute, but they are not the best utilization of space. Opt for a shelving unit instead and line it with baskets or colorful bins and place toys in there instead. You can even install shelves in half of the closet and use that space for storage, freeing up floor space for play.
