1. Pick a theme. It is always easier if you start with a theme. Base your theme around any item that you really like-wallpaper, bedding, wall art, etc.
2. Take one color out of your base item and use that color for painting your walls. You can use one, two or three shades of the color.
3. Choose fun accent pieces to go with your theme. Get different. If your theme is cowboys perhaps use an old stirrup as a towel holder. You can find these at most thrift or antique stores.
4. Choose the color of the carpet or rug to tie in with your theme. Perhaps blue is you are using a Noah’s Ark theme.
5. Use every corner of the room. Utilize it by putting in corner shelves, pillows or a toy box.
6. Add a wall mirror and chest to hold dress up costumes.
7. Add a small table for the child to play on. It will get used for many things-a tea party, block building or finger painting.
8. Put a box close to table to be used for art supplies.
9. Add a chalkboard or magnetic board. So many books available have magnetic pictures to remove and a board to put them
on will provide hours of enjoyment.
10. Always remember safety no matter how cute you want your child’s room. Secure dressers and large furniture to the walls. Children love to
climb and securing these items will prevent future accidents.
