What would a tuxedo be without a bow tie? How about a gown without a necklace? What would a sports car be without a spoiler? Accessories are important in complementing a variety of objects in life. When designing and decorating a bedroom for our son or daughter, accessories are also important. Whether they include throw pillows on bunk beds or hair clips on lamp shades, accessories are important in improving the overall appearance of the bedroom. But where do we begin? Here are some tips to help guide you when choosing accessories for your son’s or daughter’s bedroom:
Sleeping in style
To decorate your child’s bunkbeds, use quilt covers and pillows with themes and patterns. You can change these accessories as your child grows out of them, and pass them down to younger children. Also, it is advisable to choose beddings that can be washed in washing machines, and particularly those for the youngest children.
Fun and functional window draperies
For younger children, blinds and curtains with cartoon prints or bright colors, are ideal. The key is for the draperies to be appealing, yet functional. When your children become older, let them select their own patterns.
Make sure to follow some safety precautions regarding draperies. All decorations should be embroidered securely onto the draperies. Also, the draperies should never be too lengthy, as children often pull them in curiosity. You should also opt for the new “breakaway cords” for blinds, which can help to prevent strangulation.
A little help for furniture
Accessories can even include pieces for furniture, which can be matched up with the theme or color scheme of the room. Furniture accessories can include:
·Bookends
·Clocks
·Coat hooks
·Cork boards
·Door plaques
·Pencil boxes
·Picture frames
·Plush sports balls
Whether your child is a fan of sports, pets, or flowers, the right accessories for furniture can add the perfect touch to his or her bedroom.
Go off the wall for the walls
Think of the walls in your child’s bedroom as a canvass. You can add paint and wallpaper, but that is just the beginning. Use shelves to display trophies, or whatever your child collects (i.e. dolls, stuffed animals, baseball caps, etc.)
You can also use a wall as a sort of gallery. Include framed photos of friends and family members, or artwork that your child has created. Another idea is to include a year-to-year timeline of photographs that feature your child growing up.
Stenciling: not just for paper
As schoolchildren, we used stencils to make professional titles for poster boards. You can also use stenciling to personalize children’s room. From teddy bears to race cars, and from gardens to rockets, stenciling can add some pizzazz to any wall of a children’s bedroom. With the right tools and some creativity, you can help to make your child’s dream occupation, a reality.
Whether they are used for fashion, vehicles, or bunkbeds, accessories help to bring everything together. Accessories can contribute to the overall theme of your son’s or daughter’s bedroom, so you should start today: accessorize, accessorize!
