Painting is more tedious and time consuming though it is more lasting than wall paper it is still best to be avoided in a child’s room as children can dirty the walls so wall papers can be replaced as it is way more inexpensive in comparison to paint.

Use attractive colors for the child’s room colors like pink, peach, blue, light green, off white, light orange, yellow are good and soft on the eyes. Try avoiding using harsh colors like purple, red, black, dark blue.

While doing your child’s room safety has to top the list make sure the windows have strong and completely covered with grills. If not grills you can use French glass pane windows that have a lock to it and the lock is safely high up.
Make sure if there is a balcony then the balcony door be shut tight and the child is not accessible to any of the latches.

Keep an eye to leave the room spacious do not clutter it too much, keep it more open for the child to have enough space to run around without getting knocked out by side boards or cupboards.

While decorating the room do not forget to add fun elements like fluorescent stars to the ceiling or some cute and colorful chimes or even colorful stickers are a good way to add the fun element in the room. Fill up the room with toys, stuff toys, colorful play mats, colorful cushions with cartoon prints and some books.
