When preparing to decorate a child’s room, it’s sometimes better to observe than ask questions. By taking a moment to study his or her behavior, you can make a mental checklist of the child’s interests. These interests can be translated into design ideas and motifs down the road. On the other hand, when you ask a child a pointed question like “How do you want your room to be decorated?” you’re unlikely to end up with a satisfying response.
Most kids just want their room to look “cool,” but the perception of cool can vary drastically from one to the next. If your young child has long demonstrated a fascination with sports, try decorating the room in a sports theme. Sports toddler bedding fits in well as a centerpiece for a room that is destined to become littered with balls, bats, gloves and athletic shoes.
