On Children's today let us have a look at an article written by Sonam Gupta, the design Head at Tangerine.
Children, the soul and
energy of every home, have their own special needs and desires. With fierce
competition, it is important to provide a nurturing, comfortable and safe
environment for them to develop and relax at the same time. As imperative as
schools are, bed rooms play an equally important role in their intellectual and
physical development. It is a space where in these young buds juggle around
with their day to day thoughts, ease out, dream and foster their hobbies.
To create a calming,
spacious and organized room, below are some of the ideas that not just
decorates the area but also makes them kid friendly:
1. The Cozy Soft Furnishings –
The haven of every home, bed rooms, resonate comfort, leisure and a temple of tranquility.
Ensuring this with an added magic of varied tints and hues, one can use
animated duvets in rich, bright prints of children’s favorite cartoon character
or super hero. Floral, Polka Dots, Stars, Chevron and Doodle Art prints look
really adorable and dominate the kids furnishing segment of bed sheets, quilts,
comforters and beddings. Cushions in various shapes and features are an added fashion
accessory.
If bed furnishings are heavily printed,
keep the curtains plain but brilliant in shade. Light crisp curtains with easy
movement for light in the day time are a must. Decorate those using Bunting
banners, danglers or tassels maybe made by your child artist. Rugs and Runners are
required not just to add dimension or décor to the room but to keep children warm
while they attempt their hand at varied leisure pursuits or hang around with
their friends.
2. The Safeguarded Walls – To start with, walls in
children’s room must include their favorite colors. This assures them that
their choices, decisions, likes and dislikes are considered while also helps
them to relate to their personal space. Wall Papers and paintings depicting or encouraging children towards
their interests for Travel, Photography, Arts, Technology, and Sports etc. can
be cheering and chic at the same time. Be original and include your children in
such activities
3. Self designed Room Décor –
There are a variety of stuff available in the market that can be used to adorn
rooms. But nothing is more pleasurable than decorating rooms using one’s own
creativity. Sit with your kids and hold playful, innovative craft sessions on
‘Best out of waste’, ‘Handicrafts’, ‘Creativity using Greens’ etc. that not
just tickles their creative arena but deepens their thought for Art and Culture.
These handmade possessions bring in a lot of positivity, self satisfaction,
confidence and are an economical option which can be altered as and when one
pleases. Hand crafted products can include wall hangings, photo frames, pen
stands, lamps, washi tape décor, flowers, child height stickers, etc.
4.
Accessories equipped Rooms – In today’s fast paced
world, it is important to incorporate things that are not just decorative but
serve a purpose as well. The routine life involves a lot of products that has
utility as well as look ornamental in the rooms. Fixed table lamp on study table,
ceiling or swing arm lamps near bed, floral lighting around the dressing area, fancy
wall clocks, PVC wall stickers with radium, stationary holders, paper and books
organizers, adjustable shelves, space for storage, seating, laundry, Globe,
bean bags etc. can be productively used to accessories rooms.
5. The Mess Organization –
Children have plenty of stuff like books, toys, bags, accessories, games etc.
that requires space as well as easy access. To organize these, one needs to be inventive and artistic at the same time. Bunk beds save a lot of us when
combined with a workspace. For storage one can create small cubbies in corner
or spare space, hang colorful, wired crates, place bamboo or rattan effect
plastic baskets in a row or design wall mounted shelves to organize the clutter.
Cupboards and cabinets are equally necessary to store things which are not used
everyday
6. Displaying Child’s
Creation – A child’s mind is innovative and keeps
brewing up new ideas every day. One can display their wards’ activities, school
schedule, exams time table, handmade cards on a decorative, framed cork board.
A black or a white board can also be hung in the room within a suitable height
to let your child scribble and draw his imaginative world out there. This is
one of the perfect platforms for children not just to share their thoughts,
ideas and creativity but a way of adorning the room to reflect their passion
and innocence
A
bed room should always make children happy and positive while allowing them to
unwind, for a constructive development. It should be place where they can do
away with their fears and build their own opinions and joyfully give wings to
their dreams!
