Decorating a kid’s room always invites a unique challenge, whether it is for a feisty ten-year-old cricket fan or a pre-teen princess obsessed with everything glam.  These kids’ room decorating tips will help you create a beautiful and functional haven that your child will love to spend time in with lots of fun and enthusiasm.

1. Flexible Design Plan – Kids grow up fast and so do their tastes.  Plan a budget-friendly interior that includes all your child's requirements for a minimum period of five years.  Make sure that the bed is extendable and the room divider, seating arrangement, wardrobe shelves are adjustable.

2. Peppy Colour Scheme – Some of the colours that match up to the kid's liveliness are lime yellow, mango orange, strawberry pink.  Pastel green and lavender has been proven to have a calming impact on a child's well-being.  Choose not more than two primary colours with a dash of neutral for the kid’s room. 

3. Zesty Graphics – Graphics adds enthusiasm to the space.  Incorporate your child’s favourite motifs, animals or cartoon characters on drawers, cabinets and canvas. Whether you do it through wallpapers, decals or paint with a brush, it doesn’t fail to bring a big smile to a kid’s face.  

4. Framed Posters – Kids outgrow their preferences quickly.  Opt for framed posters with comic art or real-life icons.  These can be easily replaced as and when your child grows older.  Arrange them in a collage on a featured wall and highlight them with accent light.

5. Creative Storage – It is always practical to incorporate tons of storage in your kid’s room.  Install open wall shelves to display a few toys your kid plays with often.  The rest of the toys can be tucked away in drawers, colourful baskets, moveable storage carts, for a clutter-free room.

6. Colourful Rugs – Rugs are a great way to bring both colour and warmth to a kid’s room.  Laying a rug by the bedside will invite a child to stretch out and play with toys or work on a creative puzzle during the day.  Rugs are easier to move and vacuum clean on daily basis than a wall to wall carpet. 

7. Comfortable Study Table – Plan a study table near a window to ensure plenty of natural light and fresh air.  Design a table that can accommodate the computer and books.  Make sure the cabinets have enough space for books and stationery.  Install appropriate electrical layout for a fully functional study table.

8. Install Boards – Children love to scribble their ideas.  Installing a small whiteboard in the room would be ideal, especially if the kid is inclined to a visual expression.  A pin-up board above the study table encourages the child to pin up important reminders and be self-organized. 

9. Lights with Motion Sensors – Children are afraid of the dark, especially when it's time to switch off lights at night.  Installing lights with motion sensors in the kid’s room is a great option.  The use of glow stencils with stars and the moon on the ceiling is also a good alternative to give them comfort in the darkness.

Every child is unique in his or her way.  It’s always better to go with a design that suits the personality and gives the child the freedom to be more expressive.
