And it may sound easy but picking the right color for wall paint, suitable décor and apt theme for the kids room can be a nightmare.

Few factors are most important while doing the kids room interior. They are:

1. Age group:

Toddler room decorating ideas

A kid between one and three years of age is called a toddler. He is in his formative years of learning and hence his room should have basic elements laden around him.

The room should be colorful enough to grab his attention and you could safely use bold but contrasting colors in the room like blue wall and alphabets drawn with pink, red, yellow, green colors.

In fact you could use an entire palate of colors for painting kid’s room interior just like this in this age group.

Toddlers are attracted towards bright colors, so make use of bold even fluorescent colors on walls, furniture and decorative elements.

Preferably the décor elements should have animals, things, alphabets, numbers and even objects featured on them. The furniture should be with soft edges and the room should be very well light for toddlers.

School going kid

The child between three to seven years could be placed in this category. Children in this age bracket attend primary school and learn new things every day. The room for such kids should be a rehearsal ground for all things he is learning at school.

The wall colors should be little sober and walls could feature a cartoon, or fairy tale that he learns at school or even cartoon characters that he is fond of.

Use learning tools in the decorative elements fairly so that the child has enough opportunity to rehearse and learn all the new things he is learning.

For example you could highlight a scale, Rubik cube etc. You could use elements like white board, coloring shelf in the room. Keep enough space for books, school bag, dance dress, shoes etc.

Grown up kid

Children beyond seven years and less than thirteen years come in this category. These kids are grown up and have distinct tastes and preferences. It makes sense to consult the child and decorate his room accordingly.

2. Themes:

3. Accessories

Lighting

Other than the aforesaid points, the kids room should have ample lights. Children spend lot of time finishing school projects or homework and hence need good light in the room.
