Decorate Walls In Children'S Bedrooms

Creating a colorful theme for your child's bedroom often centers around wall designs and decorations. While wallpaper and paint are decoration options, these are time-consuming projects with permanent results. Children who are enthused with a certain character, animal or theme one year may outgrow the design as they age. Because of this, removable wall stickers and murals provide a less permanent and inexpensive option to traditional wallpaper and paint.


Instructions








1. Discuss decorating options with your child. If he is old enough, allow him to choose elements of the room's design and make it more his own.


2. Navigate to a website that sells wall stickers and murals, such as Wall Sticker Outlet, Fun D cor for Kids or Create-A-Mural (see Resources). These sites will provide you with sample images and ideas on designs that fit your theme.


3. Purchase the wall d cor with input from your child.


4. Create a mock-up design using the wall stickers and mural before you stick them to the wall. You can do this by holding stickers up the wall or arranging them out on a flat surface, such as the floor.


5. Apply the wall stickers to the walls based on your mock-up design. Depending on the type of sticker, some only require you to peel of a backing before applying. Other types of stickers require you to wet the back with a damp sponge.
