Six Creative Steps for Decorating Furniture for Children

There are so many ways to decorate bedroom furniture for children that are both fun and affordable. Moreover, if the child is permitted to participate in the decorating process, customizing furniture for their own room can be a particularly rewarding experience. Simply painting a room in different colors makes for a remarkable transformation. Painting one or two walls in complementary colors can completely change that room and make it more completely individual. Additionally, the experience of doing the necessary preparatory work such as applying masking tape to trim, as well as the work of preparing brushes and painting trays, engages the child in creating their own personal space.

Another popular method of decoration is adding flourishes to bedroom furniture for children, such as desks, dressers and other such surfaces, by means of stenciling. The range of possibilities is endless. Designs including horses or trains or flowers will change even the most mundane piece of furniture into something quite original and can be made pertinent to the child's individual interests. Very much along the same lines are stamp designs. Rubber stamp stores are a bit scarcer in this technological age, but they do exist and, like stenciling, this offers the possibility for adding flourishes and artwork that can be tailor-made to suit the interests or preferences of the child
