Interior Design for Children

Designing your interior décor around children can create a safe environment and prevent nice, expensive furnishings from being ruined. Depending on your family's lifestyle, some or all of your rooms can be decorated with your kids in mind. As long as you keep everything simple, easy to clean, and safe for little ones, you're free to follow your own creativity.

You will want easy to clean cabinets, floors, and counters in the kitchen. Kids don’t mean to be clumsy and make mistakes, but their mistakes often usually lead to big messes. In addition, cooking is a wonderful way to teach your child about scents, measurements, counting, patience and even science. If you’re able, try to have a special spot where your child can help you clean vegetables and add ingredients to dishes.

Depending on the ages and temperament of your children, you may want to put locks on cabinets, stove, refrigerator, pantry, freezer and the microwave.

You will also want to design a place for your children to eat. If you have a formal dining area and use it for everyday meals, you want it to be kid friendly. You will want the floor beneath the eating area and your kitchen furniture to be easily cleanable. In addition, remember that children will often drag chairs into the kitchen to reach things up high. Your chairs should be sturdy enough to be stood on, and light enough not to cause damage to your child if they fall over.

Decorating bedrooms for young children can be a time when you can bring back your own childhood memories for all the things you loved!

You should be careful that your choice is the same as your child’s otherwise you may love the room and they may well detest and seeing as it’s there space their ideas should take precedent!

Painting large murals on walls offers a truly wonderful appearance, but for those who are not artistic it may be wise to get friends who are excellent at drawing to sketch out the design and you to do the painting!

Alternatively you can still use a specific theme but rather than have an entire wall or walls painted generate the theme with the use of childrens curtains which have a zoo theme for example.

Borders are somewhat out dated, however for the relatively short time they will be in place-as your child matures a zoo style theme will need replacing with something far more suitable for a teenager- they are a cost effective method of decorating without having to painting murals!

Matching bedding and some great child orientated wall art are great ways to bring the theme together. Be inspired by nature and have a jungle style theme, a great way to introduce masses of wonderful new vocabulary and highlight endangered animals to young children.
