Decorating Ideas For A Toddler's Bedroom

If you're about to embark on decorating your toddler's bedroom

, take a look at some of these ideas made for a toddler's style.

The crib goes out and in comes the bed. Toddlers are hyperactive and if they can only make decisions for themselves, they would probably rally on "no sleep and play all day!" chant. So make your toddler's room as relaxing as possible to stimulate sleep. It's hard enough as it is to put toddlers to sleep without the rich and bright colors, so just imagine how the colors yellow or red can do to a child's awakened state. Go for the calming shades of pastels, tans, blues, lavenders and creams. Anything to encourage sleep, bring it on!

A child's bedroom is usually also the playroom. Spare an area for play where you can put the toys. As your little one becomes more aware of the surroundings, maximize the use of interactive toys to develop your baby's motor and coordination skills. These toys will also give your baby's brain an added boost.

Designating specific areas in children's rooms for different activities help keep everything organized. One great way to do this is by using area rugs. For the little boy that loves everything that moves, there are rugs that have roads on them so he can "drive" all of his cars around the town. If you have a bookshelf in the corner, place an area rug beside it and use this area for you and your child to sit during book time. This will help you to almost create "centers" in a child's room. Since this room functions as a bedroom and playroom, why not designate a corner with a large rug as the toy area? If all toys stay in this area, it will save mom or dad from stepping on something painful when they go in after dark to check on the little ones. There are many ideas that you can incorporate with this. Always remember that you can order area rugs and other supplies online to save yourself a trip to the store. How much easier can it get than clicking a mouse and having it arrive on your doorstep?

Finally letting go of the nursery and preparing for a toddler room is exciting and yes, emotional. Your baby is growing up! In a few years, you will again be redecorating for a preschool kid and saying goodbye to a toddler sanctuary. So don't use anything too permanent. You might regret it for the hard work you have to do later on.
