Bedroom Decorating Ideas for Your Child’s Bedroom

Lighting info brought to you by LightingShowroom.com

Everybody likes to personalize their living spaces, and most of us generally hang curtains, posters etc. that we like to liven up our bedrooms. We will install the kind of lamp we like, and even paint it in different colors so that we are comfortable with where we live.

Most of us however do not spend so much time thinking about our children’s bedrooms. Not that we aren’t interested, just that we don’t think about it. Sometimes we may put up pictures of their favorite cartoon characters on the walls, or even on their bedding, but that’s about where most of us stand.

There are however a number of other things too that we can do, and there’s no need to break the bank to do it too. For instance, there’s going to be curtains installed anyway, so why not something that has what he or she wants. If you have a daughter, something that has her favorite character, or something in pale pink, but bordered with frills is what girls love, boys will like blues and grays and as long as you get them anything that has their favorite character, you won’t get any complaints.

Even the lamps can be used for decorating kids rooms. For example, there are lamps that actually project light on to the ceiling, like nightlights, and you can get almost anything you want to start from swimming fish and the moving night sky to cartoon characters. These lamps do not cost too much and you can even buy them online for under $35.

When it comes to boys bedrooms decorating ideas, it’s actually simpler than for girls. Most boys prefer the color blue, and those that do not, go for gray. Since gray is such a drab color, blue is the color of choice, and just painting his room blue will make him happy.

A few action figures either stuck on his walls or even placed strategically around his room and everything looks very different. These action figures do not need to be something that he plays with. You can get them online for $10 for 100. Just arranging them on a shelf, or sticking them to the walls with double sided tape is all that is needed. As long as you stick them above his arm’s reach, you are safe enough from him pulling it off and throwing them down.

Bedroom decorating ideas are not all that difficult. If you know your child well enough, you’ll know what he wants, and all you have to do is to figure out how to give him that but with the least amount of trouble to you. Replacing his floor tiles may therefore not be on the agenda, but his curtains or even blinds definitely.

Personalized Bedroom Ideas

Lighting info brought to you by LightingShowroom.com

While a lot of bedrooms can look good, most fall short of being truly interesting. A bedroom must be a space which should be able to tell anyone who is allowed to enter, a little bit about your personality, your likes and dislikes. A bedroom with character is one of the most interesting types of bedrooms.

Most adolescents and children are extremely brave at making their rooms a reflection of themselves, yet most adults are often embarrassed to make their bedrooms a bit more interesting. So with the courage of a child, here are a few things you can do to make your bedroom more you.

• Frame it
• Add a potted plant
• A touch of you

The first step towards giving your bedroom a bit of character is by framing photographs of people you love, stages in your life, you pets and artistically hanging them about your bedroom walls. You could even frame your accomplishments such as your university degree, your old spelling bee certificate or even something that you have artistically created. Almost whatever you frame is bound to look good; the only thing that you should try to overcome is your initial restraint at having something about you framed.

Plants are great ways to personalize a bedroom. While some bedroom ideas are tacky, this one is definitely not, for some of the nicest and warmest looking bedrooms are ones with potted plants in them. The type of plant you choose depends on what you would like; adding to more clues of what your personality is like. From indoor plants to ferns to cacti, add a plant to make your bedroom an extension of yourself.

Finally adding a touch of what you are is necessary to make your bedroom more you. Think about what you are good at, what you love and incorporate that into your room. For instance, if you simply love reading, include an open book case or a transparent book case in your bedroom. Or if you love to sing, hang some photographs of you singing or if you’d like to play the guitar, hang your guitar in an advantageous position in your bedroom. When it comes to bedroom ideas, there are plenty of options; the only requirement is for you to be comfortable in baring a bit of your soul.

Bedroom Ceiling Lighting

Lighting info brought to you by LightingShowroom.com

Ceiling lights in the bedroom are really not necessary. Most people use their bedrooms only for sleeping, and if they need any light the bed lamps would generally be ample for it. Yet installing bedroom ceiling lighting is a good idea if only to jazz up the room a bit.

Most decorative items in most rooms, not only bedrooms are limited to the floor and walls. Even here you will rarely find anything that is above head height on the walls which means that one quarter of the room close to the ceiling is generally unused. Bringing this space into the room will give your room a sense of spaciousness.

You don’t need a chandelier for this, but you cannot make do with a simple light too. You need something that will draw the eyes above and the only thing that can do this is something fancy. A really good looking semi flush light with a slag glass shade will be good, or you can go in for a simple three arm semi flush ceiling light.

Of course if you are totally against having bedroom ceiling lights, you can very well go with some kind of decorative items that you can hang from the ceiling which will serve the same purpose. The only problem with this is that this is not only more complicated to install, it is more difficult to maintain than a light.

Plus you do not have to go for a really bright light. For example, even if you have a simple three arm chandelier installed, it is not necessary to put in three 100 watt bulbs, you can put in three 25 watt bulbs which will give you a total output of just 75 watts of light, making sure that the room is pleasantly dim. The only difference will be that the whole room will be included instead of just one portion as is common with table lamps. If you are a little imaginative, you can even install a couple of spotlights pointing up at the ceiling lighting your room with its backwash, while still looking funky and contemporary.
