Room Ideas For Kids

Do you need some ideas for decorating kids rooms?
The best way to get good ideas is to ask your children! Involving your children in the decorating process can be rewarding for both you and them.

Be prepared for their tastes to change as they grow older, so be careful not to get too trendy with the decorating. Passing fads can fade pretty quickly, leaving them with a room that they don't like anymore.

Preschool Child's Room

Storing Toys -  Using shelves with containers that are easy to reach will make clean up time easier for them. Remember, the fewer toys they have, the less clutter there is. There is also more room to play with fewer toys. 
Save the more delicate items for storage on top shelves or out of the line of sight.
Painting  - it's fun and easy to use bright colors in a kid's room.  It's relatively easy to change later and will give them a sense of personal space if their room is different.


Hobbies - What hobbies or interests do they have? If they are involved with sports, that can be incorporated into the decorating as well.
Accessories - keep rugs, pillows,bedding, curtains, etc. in easy-to-clean textiles. Avoid white or cream solids that will get dirty easily.
Wall Decor - It's so nice not to worry about the kids breaking things, so use one of the easiest ways to decorate your child's room. Try wall stickers! Easy to apply and remove, they come in a wide variety of shapes, sayings, art forms.

Redoing Your Not-So-Little Girl's Room

DA016-G

Are you getting ready to make a beautiful nursery for your new baby girl?  Or is it time to transform that nursery into a big girl room? I found some awesome design ideas that you could use to make that transformation easier! 

Use every color in the paint world arsenal! Make it a rainbow-like, color filled room! But don't forget to use a neutral color to tone down the boldness of the colors just a little.

Sayings and quotes are always a big hit. Find one that fits your daughter perfectly on our website!  We have stickers for baby girl nursery decor and big girl bedrooms!

Start early and add a little sophistication into your baby girl's life! Add her initials in a pretty monogram to the wall for a timeless effect!

Chalkboard walls are always fun to do! It might take a bit more work for you, but the end result is awesome. Plus, while you get to draw and write on it now, in a few years she'll have so much fun making her own creations on it!

Zebra Alphabet with Name

You can always add a monogram sticker with her name to personalize her space, especially if she has to share a room with her sister! Or make it a zebra print monogram for some extra fun!

If you really, really want to use pink in her room (but don't want it to be too bold or even too sweet and pastel-like), add some dark browns or black to even out the pink tones.

Oh there are just so many ways to design a little girl's room! I hope these ideas help you get started and have fun planning and decorating!

Who's in Love with Yellow, Grey, and Blue?

A customer ordered our "Love You For Always" baby Wall Quote Sticker today.  Her color choices were Warm Grey and Yellow!  That's when it dawned on me.... "What an AWESOME color combination!!"  Are you in love with the ever popular color combination of Yellow, Grey and Blue.... in clothes and in ROOM DECOR?!

So I had to put together some images so you all could see!  Above would be the Warm Grey and Yellow on a navy blue wall.   And below is the Warm Grey and Deep Blue combination on a yellow wall.  The Warm Grey would probably show up best on a darker wall but we do have a Storm Grey color on hand that would work great on a pastel colored wall.  The Storm Grey is about the same color as the Metallic Silver but without the metallic part.

 

Another awesome thing with these colors.....  They are gender neutral!  Go ahead and decorate that nursery before the baby arrives!

Tree Wall Sticker ~ Entertain your baby with Wall Stickers

Did you ever wonder why we have had a "Tree & Floral" page and no trees? Well, we have finally gotten a TREE wall sticker added! Yeah, for finally getting somewhere on that To-Do list!

This tree is a fun 2-Color sticker so you may pick a color for the trunk and another color for the leaves. The tree can be purchased in a 38.5" height or a 48" height.

Tree Wall Stickers are a great way to brighten up a wall and utilize a large space.

Babies are said to see the colors Black, Red, and White best in their first months. Order a tree with a Black trunk and Red leaves and apply to a light-colored nursery wall to keep your baby entertained at all times!

New Item - Baby Wall Quote in 2 colors

Check out our Children's Sayings page - The newest item is an adorable baby wall quote. 

Our newest baby wall quote comes in your choice of 2 colors.  We have it shown in black and beige.  You can choose a small 12" x 23" size but we also have it available in a large size (24"x46").  The large size is a perfect size to apply to the wall above a baby crib. 

This 2-color wall quote will come with tiny dots in between the 2 colors that can be used at application to keep your saying lined up just so!  Simple application tips are included with every order.

Baby Gift - Personalized Photo Frame with lettering

New item just added to our website - http://www.walldecorplusmore.com/.  Add vinyl lettering to the glass of a photo frame to make a unique gift for that special baby in your life!


Here's what you do:

1. Purchase a 11" x 14" photo frame that has a back that is removable.  You can purchase cheap wooden frames and paint it in the color of your choice - black is simple, easy and very popular!

2.  Next purchase your vinyl lettering from Wall Decor Plus More - you give us the details - baby name, birthdate, and baby's weight along with the color for the lettering.  Click HERE to order the Baby Frame Vinyl Decal in the Children's Wall Sayings section.  Ice Blue works great for a boy and hot pink is perfect for a girl. 

3.  Now you are ready to apply the vinyl lettering.  The vinyl lettering comes with a square around it to match the size of the 11" x 14" frame - this makes it WAY easy to line things up - you don't have to do near as much measuring.  The square can be taken off and thrown away after the lettering is in place.
Now for the application, watch this tutorial to see the simple process!


4. After you have the frame the color of choice (if you decided to paint it), you need to get the glass glued into the frame. I found the cleanest way to glue the glass in the frame is with hot glue and a hot glue gun. Gorilla Glue can be used also but it can be tricky to get glue ONLY on the frame where it won't show on the glass. 

Now about those ADORABLE polka dots on the frame... Check out the 1/2" polka dots in the Polka Dots Wall Sticker section!   These are a quick and easy way to make your gift even more unique!  Just little polka dot stickers that can be ordered in matching colors to coordinate with your vinyl lettering!

The vinyl lettering makes a shadow box look.  Since the back is no longer on the frame the lettering leaves a small shadow on the wall.

ABC Wall Vinyl Lettering ~ Kids Room ~ Dr. Suess Decor

Shopko has an adorable bedding set in their baby section.  It's called Trend Lab Dr Suess 4 piece crib set. Here's the link: www.shopko.com/baby.  It comes in primary colors so it can be used for a boy or girl.  Since vinyl lettering is such a hot trend today... Wall Decor Plus More designed some Dr. Suess ABC wall stickers to match this bedding!!

You get the full alphabet in uppercase letters along with 2 lowercase letters.  The wall vinyl letters come in your choice of 4 colors.  We have it pictured here in yellow, red, ice blue and lime green.  The olive green may also coordinate well with this Dr. Suess crib set. Alphabet wall stickers would be great in a toy room or in any child's room as wall decor.

You will cut up these letters and rearrange them. They would look neat as a border scattered around the room.  Or they could be used to decorate the dresser or other furniture in the baby's room.  Wall Vinyl Stickers can be applied to any smooth or semi-smooth surface.  Simple application tips are included with each order along with an application tool. 

Wall Decor Plus More uses top-of-the-line indoor vinyl.  This means that your vinyl will look like a beautiful paint job plus it will NOT harm your walls.  Indoor vinyl stickers implies that it can be removed without taking paint or wallpaper off your walls.  Be sure to let your paint cure for 1-2 weeks before you apply these stickers - if you don't, the paint may peel off with the vinyl stickers.
