Myndu Interior Design

I hear that grumble every time I start reminding the kids about cleaning up their rooms. Although they do eventually get it done, I do have to hint at, if not threaten, a severe cut-back on the use of the computer and the internet.

If they didn’t want to listen to instructions from me, I told them, as I surveyed the mess in their rooms, they might as well make their internet time useful by searching for tidy-up tips for children’s bedrooms. With this parting shot, I made a dignified-back, grinning-face exit to the sound of “we’re not children!”

Getting your kids to do their chores can be very difficult especially when these involve cleaning up “their space.

I have come up with a competition for the coolest (no mention of cleanest there) room. The prize: An 8 hour stretch of weekend internet surfing, overriding the other siblings’ schedules.

The results should be interesting.

If your daughter has a large bedroom, you should utilize the space to create a bedroom fit for a princess. This method is especially useful in homes where there is no extra place for a game room. By simply utilizing one room for a lot of purposes, this is one great idea that every parent would love.

An obvious starting point when it comes to decorating your little’s girl’s room is the bed, which is often the largest piece of furniture in a room. First, assess the nature of the bed and ask: Is this what your daughter needs and would love to have? Also, consider the possibility of placing more beds in the room or a choice of one large bed that may be suitable for her and her friends whenever they sleep over.

Other significant furniture in the princess themed bedroom can be based on your girl’s age. If your daughter is still in its infancy, you may need a dresser or drawers for her clothes and a changing table. To save space and money, consider buying a low height drawer to make it a makeshift changing table for your little girl.

In each home, there is always one room that no one dares to open because you know that when you do, depending on the age of the occupants, you would either step into a car, dolls, and a piece of paper or clothing. This is your child’s bedroom. Because you happened to be a busy working mother, you absolutely have no time to be manage or clean this room regularly.

After a day at the office, you have to keep up enough energy to do some household chores like taking care of your child’s room. But how can we keep up with clutter easily in terms of interior design of the room?

First, keep a simple design for your nursery to keep things simple too. If you do not have too many stuff going on in the room, you will also have fewer things to keep in order.

Without exaggerating the design, get a nice bedroom for your children, wherein they want to keep the place always clean and beautiful. You may want to get some great wallpaper, curtains, or area rugs.

Little children can accumulate a lot of things over a year. If you do not invest on a place for their items, you will eventually have a lot of things to do. It is better to get space-saving features of your child’s bedroom. You can definitely save a lot of money by doing some simple decorating tips for your kid’s room.

If you have a small bedroom for your kid, a bunk bed would be great. You can redesign a bed that they can work and play below and then sleep above it. This is definitely a great space-saving tip for your kid’s room.

Another great idea is to buy a double deep double-sided bed like the captain’s bed. You can use the top for your kid’s sleeping area and have the underneath for storage. You can tuck everything in place and they can still be able to find their beds at night.

The most important thing you have to do is to find where everything should go and make sure that every corner would be used as much as possible. You can buy plastic crates and baskets that can hang up on walls for extra storage. You can put clothes in these baskets and make them reachable. You can also place these storage baskets outside their closet, which allows you to organize their closet and also help keep everything where they need it.

Schools days are finally over. Now is the time for your children to be at home and enjoy the summer holidays. However, you on the other hand, have been very busy with work and your full time job keeps you away from spending more time with your children.

If you are however, a stay at home parent, keeping your children entertained can become a full time job for you. You almost ran out of ideas to keep them entertained. Well, why don’t you decorate the room with your kids? This can be a fun and bonding activity between you and your little ones.

Below are some great bedroom decorating tips with your kids:

- Clean your kid’s closet and decide which toys you would like to throw away, donate or sell. This way you only keep those that your kids play most and at the same time getting their bedroom clean and organized.

- This is also the time to buy the bedroom set you have always dreamed of. Try to shop with your kids and see if they also like the furniture you are buying.

- Do not let pass visiting thrift shops or auction stores for great deals and finds. It would always be fun and great to find some pieces and accents for your kids’ bedroom at a very low price.

- New bed linens are also a must. Try to throw in a lot of cute and colorful pillows.

Summer days are now here and this is also the time where your children spent most of their times at home. If you are a stay at home parent, it may be hard for you to think of other activities that will make your children enjoy their summer vacation at home. Luckily, one great deal you can do with your children is to start redecorating their bedroom.

Well, it is understandable that every home decorating is a bit expensive. However, you can still push through with this activity if you only stick to your budget.  A few choices of children’s accessories and furniture would just be enough for your kid’s bedroom.

You can start painting your walls and let your children join in this activity too. This is a fun activity, especially when you let your children draw stencils over the walls. Their own work within the walls is one family moment that will last, uncovering your kid’s creativity.

If painting your walls is a bit expensive or too big of a project for you, you can opt for wall stickers instead. These stickers are great to covering any walls stains and unwanted marks.

A new rug is another nice addition to your kid’s bedroom. Area rugs are available in different colors, styles, and textures. You can opt for kid’s rugs like floral rugs, animal rugs and so on. Just make sure that these area rugs are suitable to your kids, especially concerning their safety.

Times are hard and as much as possible we want to spend within our budget and still get the best result or service we can get. This holds true with home decorating, too. When decorating a baby’s room we want nothing but the best, however, sometimes our budget just wouldn’t allow us to buy new items. But resorting to frugal budget decorating does not have to mean getting the cheap look for our home.

Your best weapons are creativity and patience. Do not miss the chance of getting good pieces by visiting second-hand stores or signing up for online shopping newsletters to be the first to know when they have big sale week. Here you can get decors like area rugs for as low as $30 or sets of pillowcases for less than $20 of the original selling price.

Hand me down items are also good pieces you can use to decorate your home. Other people just love to redo the look of their interiors that buying new stuff is not a major concern to them. Chances are they end of giving away those other useful things they tend to replace. Your friends and relatives are usually good sources of these things.

And finally, rely on your creative juices, or you can browse  magazines or books about home decorating to get ideas on how you can arrange your acquired assets to give your home the sassy look.

Children love to have a place they can call their own; a place that they can go to, not only to sleep but also to dream. Give your child a room that is designed to make all their dreams come true. Besides being a really fun project for you as well as your child, designing a child’s room is also a great way to spend some quality time together.

Compromise is key when designing a kid’s bedroom. While your son may want his room to look like a pirate’s hideaway and your daughter would rather be a mermaid and live in an underwater world, it may be neither affordable nor practical for you to implement these themes. Here are a few ways that you can design a kid’s room that will make all their dreams come true for years without breaking your bank balance.

Listen; Really Listen

It’s your kid’s room. Take time to listen to their ideas and really listen to what it is they want their room to look like. No point going with the jungle theme just because it is easier, when your son really dreams of being a race-car driver and your daughter wants her room to look like a fairy-tale castle. Preferences change and you may not want to go the whole hog to cater to their current favorites. Why not sit down and brainstorm some ideas. Think ahead and explore your options. While you may not agree to buy that bed which is in the shape of a car, you could perhaps agree to buy bed sheets, kids area rugs, wallpaper and posters that are designed with race cars and checkered flags. Lace curtains in soft baby pink and icy lavender along, shimmering satin sheets and a few sparkling wands is sure to turn your daughter’s room into the castle she always wanted.

Something Old; Something New

Make it a point to have at least one piece of furniture that will connect your child’s past, present and future. Whether it is something that belonged to you as a child or whether you buy something especially for your child, choose something with timeless appeal that will bear silent witness to their tears and triumphs and hold all their secrets through the growing years. Change the accent pieces and accessories as often or as seldom as is convenient, but let this remain as the bastion of your child’s room. No child would be opposed to this idea.

Let there be pillow fights

Get pillows; lots of them- in different shapes and sizes. While they may not all be used to sleep on they will come in very useful when looking for something for building a castle with or perhaps even a race track. Let their imagination run riot! And a good old rambunctious pillow fight is a great and safe way to let them expend all that extra energy.

Create space

Don’t use up valuable floor space. Kids need lots of room for hosting tea parties with their friends or doing cartwheels without getting hurt. Consider a fun kids area rug as a designated play area. Instead of getting two single beds, get a bunk bed or a trundle bed. Use the walls for storage. Build open shelves to display precious creations and closed cabinets for stacking away boxed toys. Get a study table with drawers for stashing away everyday items like books, pencils and other stationery. Drawers or baskets on wheels are great for storing toys. They can be rolled under the bed when not in use and easily rolled out when looking for a precious toy. Or else get colorful plastic boxes that look like blocks and can be easily stacked. They look good and save space!

Water Baby Ahoy!

Whether you live along the coast or not, your water baby can still spend hours in a room full of boats and seashells and fish. Walls the color of the ocean, with a border of sail boats, colorful fishes or a variety of shells can bring the beach right into your home. Get a colorful surf-board and put it up on one wall.

Pirates, Cowboys and Knights

Which little boy has not at some time or the other dreamed of being a pirate, a cowboy or a knight? For a little wanna-be-pirate, a room full of portholes and ship masts, treasure chests and gold coins and plenty of secret hideaway places will provide hours of uninterrupted pleasure. A bedroom can easily be converted into a castle with ‘castle-walled’ wallpaper. Complement that with swords, shields, helmets and knight-themed murals (like this dragon fighting mural or this castle wall mural) .

Let your imagination run wild for a bedroom that is a cowboy’s domain- rope-bordered walls, tin stars and horses everywhere, bandana valances for the curtains and a big Stetson hanging on the wall. While you may want to pass on the guns a ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ poster with your son’s face featured on it, will put the cowboy stamp on the room.

A Bug’s Life

From slugs and snails to bees and ants, little boys are often enthralled by these fascinating little creatures. Go with it and chose from a wide range of buggy bedding, pillow covers and curtains. A lady-bug photo frame or clock and a pair of snail book-ends would fit in perfectly with the theme.

Unlike most of the metal safety gates on the market, the Center Gateway does not permanently attach to walls or banisters with hinges and screws. Instead, this 29.5-inch-high steel barrier uses a pressure-mounted system to hold it in place across doorways and halls in your house. Although it may lack the complete strength of a permanently mounted gate and probably shouldn’t be used in front of stairways, the Center Gateway is far more versatile: after installation you can easily detach and move it throughout your home to block off-limit rooms and spaces as needed. The Center Gateway also eliminates the need for drilling holes into the wood and metalwork around your home. The gateway is designed to block spaces from 29.25 to 37.5 inches wide, and you can purchase optional extension kits (sold separately) to extend the gate’s length to almost 49 inches. Adult assembly is required.
