Kids can be lively, messy, and full of imagination so it is crucial that you keep dozens of things in mind when decorating a space meant for children. Not only if the decorations be fun and age-appropriate, they need to have the ability to withstand (and, in some instances, have the ability to hide the aftermath of) a whirlwind of activity. The following are some methods to incorporate fun and functional decor in your home and accent pieces into kids' rooms.



Corralling The Toys

Those who have ever stepped on a toy block at night knows the significance of having a toy box to help keep a kid's toys in the set location. These boxes needn't be strictly utilitarian, though; parents can use stylish decorative boxes to both house toys and serve as accent pieces, with kids' rooms but even in larger shared living areas. In shared living areas, large leather trunks or upholstered storage ottomans can function both as toy chests so when decorative elements inside the room. In kids' rooms specifically, boxes decorated with bright colors or covered in fun fabrics can jazz up the space. Just like decorating some other room of your home, decor in your home and accent pieces in a kid's room should also expand upon the infant's personality. For example, a young child by having an adventurous spirit may like a toy box that resembles a treasure chest (being a wooden chest or perhaps the aforementioned leather chests).



Selecting Sketches



Framed art can tend to be formal than artwork that is more free-standing therefore the casual, fun air of the child's room lends more to wall hangings, sculptures, or another similar decor and accent pieces. Spelling out inspirational words or even the child's name by hanging decorative letters on your wall is a sure way to embellish the walls of a child's room while still having fun. A child using a sensitive, caring personality might enjoy metal sketches depicting animals like horses or dogs. An imaginative child who loves story time might love the stories he can find hidden in just a tapestry depicting a fantastical or medieval scene.



Making Wise Fabric Choices



Since children may be messy it's a good idea to incorporate fabrics or textiles right into a room which can be stain resistant and have patterns. Patterned throws, as an example, can be used over furniture within the kid's room (or in larger shared areas) to both add color and interest and mask stains. Patterned rugs are also best for this purpose and may offer a child a good "island" where to try out. Where children are concerned, it is good to decide on decor and accent pieces upholstered in easy-to-clean and stain-camouflaging fabrics.
