General Design Tips

The first, and perhaps one of the most important rules for planning a festive decor for a child’s room is orientation on the age of the child. Let's take a closer look:

• Kids 1-3 years old will not be able to appreciate exquisite jewelry, so for such a room you can come up with a design a little easier. Try to use a minimum of catchy and annoying colors that can affect the emotional state of a small child. It is better to give preference to pastel, delicate shades.

Important! The design of the room for the baby should not be dangerous decorative items. Even balloons are a standard decoration for the holidays, should be used carefully: if the balloon bursts, it can injure the child.

• Making a festive room for older children should be more fun and vibrant. In this case, themed decor will be a great solution.

Important! If you know well what exactly your daughter or son is interested in, choosing the right topic will not be difficult. The further process of decorating a room for a birthday with your own hands will depend only on your imagination, since in the chosen style it will be possible to choose the maximum of decorations.

• For teens from 13 years old, a more concise and restrained festive decor is preferable. If you are going to adhere to a certain topic, then you should choose it from the category of cinema, sports, music, fashion, nature or technology. “Children's” decor in such a room should be absent - simple balloons will be enough to maintain the atmosphere of the holiday.

Important! Remember that the thematic design of the children's room of a girl and a boy should be different, especially when it comes to children over the age of 6 years.

The subtleties of decorating a festive room should be planned in advance, as well as the time of decoration. The nursery should be transformed beyond recognition, and for the birthday boy it will be a big surprise if, after waking up, he sees an already prepared decoration.
