Wall Ideas for Childrens’ Rooms

September 25, 2015 By creatingyourspace

Once children are old enough to care about the décor in their room, it is important to let them have a part in deciding what selections to make. Give them a creative outlet incorporated into their bedroom décor. There are many different ways to offer a creative outlet that inspires them to create things on their own or with friends and siblings. Utilize the walls, more specifically the lower section so they can reach this area easily.

Apply felt to the lower chair rail section of one wall, or several walls. Felt comes in many colors, therefore you can select the color that best fits the color scheme. You may want to let your child select the color they prefer. You can order felt character kits online. It is suggested to order several different packs; such as numbers and letters, animals, characters and animals. This way they can come up with many different story lines. The numbers and letters will help them learn and can be incorporated into the stories they create. This wall application will keep your child busy for hours and offer them creative play anytime they play in their rooms.

Create a chalk board on the lower section of a wall. This application is similar to the one above. The only difference is using a different media. Like felt, chalk paint is available in any imaginable color. You can purchase the desired color, or mix it yourself; making this application easy to fit into the existing color scheme. Painting the lower section of the wall gives your little ones all access to draw and create without actually harming the wall. Attach a small cup or bucket to the wall to corral pieces of chalk.

Make a border at waist height using your child’s handprints. They can even invite friends over to include their handprints into the pattern. This activity teaches kids about patterns and gives them a chance to create their own pattern in their bedroom décor. Let the kids initial their handprints to give each hand print individuality. Plan out the color pattern and practice making hand prints on paper before putting on the wall.

Utilizing the wall space in your child’s bedroom, allows them to personalize their room. Making an interactive wall, like the felt wall or chalkboard wall gives a creative spin to the room and provides hours of fun for your kids to enjoy every day! If they can fabricate story lines on the felt or chalkboard; the other walls within the house are much safer!
