Roof Decoration Ideas

Interior decorating ideas can be over the top, a kids’ room isn’t a theatrical set, or a fairy tale epic. A kids’ mind can possess more imagination than any adult could ever have. Throughout my career of design, I have learned to leave this room for creative expression, young people are happy, with just enough, anything more is too much.

The important thing remember is to keep it simple, and maintenance free. Try to avoid hiring outside people to paint murals on the walls, fabricate expensive canopy beds, or swagging window treatments. Here are a few suggestions that have been success stories for my young clients who grew up, and left their rooms behind.

Young ladies prefer a princess, or ballet theme, and so why not combine both into one room. Every princess is a ballerina, and every ballerina is a princess. Young gentlemen prefer space, and sports subjects that still remain top trends. Whatever the theme is just remember, that there’s only one room in the home, that truly belongs to them.

• The first room is for a princess, and start by painting the room with a pastel color scheme. Use soft pinks, lavenders, spring greens, pale blue on the ceiling, and inside the closets. Here’s a wonderful idea for a headboard, a castle tower made from a four foot by seven foot sheet of plywood.

• Start by drawing castle styled block cut outs at the top left of the board. Next measure nine, and one half inches for the first cut. The second cut will be at nineteen inches, and the third cut at twenty nine inches. The final cut out is at thirty eight, and one half inches, and each cut out, should be nine, one half inches wide, by nine, one half inches long.

• The finished top should have, three blocks, and two cut outs resembling teeth. The left over cut out blocks are ideal for windows, and hand painted tie back curtains add a playful touch of whimsy. Paint the castle in ether a beige, or white egg shell finish paint.

• If the bed is larger than a twin size additional towers can be easily constructed by cutting a four foot by six foot sheet into half, with triangle roofs. Now make pastel fabric banners on dowel rods, and attach them on the top points of the roofs. Assemble the castle, and towers, and attach the headboard securely to the wall, making it an easy install, and a quick no cost removal.

• Store bought bedding is ideal, mix it up with pastels, solids, and prints. A great way to use king flat sheets as drapery panels, tablecloths, and a pillow case over the back of desk chair.

• Hang three various shaped lamp shades painted in different colors, and trim them in fun fringe, feather boas, or gathered netting for a ballet skirt. Next suspend shades from center the metal frames, with clear fish line. Bring some dazzle by tying princess crowns, stars, moons, and miniature glass slippers. These items all can be found at most wedding, or craft shops.

• Final touches for example, metal butterflies, ladybugs, flowers, and frogs available for purchase at most garden shops. Display these small sculptures as wall decor, drapery hold backs, or as rod finials. Everything can sparkle, by applying crystal fringe to the lamp shades, and pillows. Wooden letters that are painted white, and dusted in glitter proclaiming the name of our princess.

• Younger gentlemen, want excitement, and adventure, a bedroom that shouts a big wow factor! A solar system space theme, enabling him to soar through unknown galaxies, and beyond.

• First paint three of the rooms walls a light blue. The remaining wall that anchors the bed, and the ceiling, should be painted in a medium to dark blue flat finish.

• Select a poster, or drawing of a space ship, and mount it above the bed. Next take a quick digital portrait of him, and place the photograph of our young traveler superimpose it inside the cockpit. Carefully making sure that his hands on the controls! Now your ready to mount the space ship on the wall, with clear push pins easy to install, and for a quick removal. Try this clever trick, use the wheel of the garden hose holder painted silver, and suspended from the dark blue ceiling, creating the perfect space station for docking space ships.

• Purchase a basic blue denim bed set, with ether a yellow, or orange skirt to create a rocket blasting off effect. Plastic storage crates can double as night stands. Stacking them in sets of two red, orange, or paint them silver. Add several galvanized trash containers for soiled space clothes, and extra needed storage.

• A simple window treatment works the best, for example a shooting star. Start with a Styrofoam ball, and cover it in aluminum foil. First paint the ball black, red, orange, and yellow by using a dry brush technique allowing some of the silver to show through. Now staple two colors of fabrics, orange and yellow onto the wall creating a burning tail, that should drape across the window. Attach the star by using a sticky hook and loop strip, and your window treatment is complete.

• You may also purchase a complete solar system kit, at most hobby shops saving time, and construction. Old toys can be used as well, damage items become smashed wrecks by meteors, or hostile aliens! A sense of perspective is achieved by adhering some objects to the ceiling, walls, or suspending them by clear fish line down from the ceiling.

The space room is finally completed! A vast universe is ready to explore, and your young commander is securely seated at the cockpit in full control.
