The recent trend towards creating perfectly, themed rooms for kids can leave parents tired and insolvent. Decorating children’s bathroom should be fun, not a stressful all-out search for the perfect switch plate cover. There are several fun ideas for brightening up children’s spaces and pulling them together without a lot of hassle or expense. Using acrylic paints, have the children use handprints to create grass, flowers, butterflies, bugs and anything else one can think of. Keep them simple, and one can do the stems and finishing touches with a brush.
How to incorporate children’s room’s bathrooms:
Pick a section of the wall to use for the bathroom and either paint it a light blue or leave it in the existing wall colour. Now ask children to use their hand to print the wall, but this should be under strict supervision of the parents. Do not be anxious by doing such activity, especially while using a little corner of their space. This should look childish, free and fun. For making butterflies, have wings done in an X shape with 4 handprints, all-facing out from the body. For tulips, have two handprints facing up from the stem in a V. children working with hand-painted canvases and prints can do this types of motives in the bathroom wall very easily. To make prints really creative and unique in the room, there are some clever ways to frame and display them.
Inexpensive and creative:
Purchase inexpensive white frames and decorate the edges with polka dots, stripes, initials or any other cute little decor. For matting, create own matching fabric swatches from bedding, or from other fabric or unique things like a bandana for farmyard room, cute scrap booking paper in matching tones or themes, furry animal fabric in leopard or zebra stripes for a safari room. To add interest to the frames, one can use a glue gun to attach cool items to the front- buttons, seashells from a favorite vacation, the collection of rotted cheerios from under car seats. For hanging, one can use a staple gun and attach neat hangers, cute ribbons and bows, nautical-looking rope for boat prints, bandana loops for western rooms or loops made from leftover fabric or extra sheets in their bedding pattern. For older kids, make it a project and in no time the room or bathroom will be fantastic.
