5 Tips to Completely Refresh Your Children’s Room
It’s always this time of year when I get my DIY mojo, Spring cleaning always seems to go that one step further and I seem to end up doing complete refreshes around our home – The bathroom was my last refresh and looks incredible! One room that is looking a little tired is my son’s room. There are a fair few scuffs on the wall from play and it could do with a more grown-up feel.
Paint
Curtains/Blinds
Rug
Changing flooring can be a big expense and if you’re not ready for new flooring or have no need to, placing a rug can really impact the room. If you’re planning on a new colour scheme, it’s a great tool for pulling everything together without having to change the entire floor.
Reflect Interests
Children tend to switch up their interests so often that their room can feel outgrown quite quickly. Instead of going all out on a themed room that they then might not like in a years time, stick to a few accessories that reflect their interests rather than the entire room. Whether it’s artwork/posters or soft furnishing try to keep them minimal if you don’t want to have to re-decorate after a year or two.
Their involvement
Get them involved in the process, ask them to donate unwanted toys, books and clothes – this alone will help declutter their rooms giving it a new and clutter-free feel. It gives them responsibility and they have a say in how they’d like their space to be.
Are you planning on any refreshes this spring?
