Theme Bedroom Decoration

In my previous post I gave my views about the decoration theme of a bedroom of girls and boys.

In almost every case, the child is being over stimulated by the bedroom decor, there is a direct correlation between the epidemic of hyperactivity in our children and the way their bedrooms are decorated.

Kids can't relax in a bedroom overflowing with toys and accentuated bright primary color. We need to tuck our children into the tranquil embrace of a cozy, serene bedroom that encourages them to calm down and get the rest they need.


When choosing colors for a child's bedroom, use warm pastels or rich colors such as lavender, peach, butter cream, and cocoa.

Change art and decorative themes that are flying, falling, driving, or running around the room to a motif that is tranquil and calm. Serenity is the keynote here, when you calm the bedroom down, you'll calm your child down, too.


Children's bedrooms can easily become overcrowded with toys, games, equipment, and collections. Every item that speaks of activity contributes to keeping the room "awake".


Display a selection of comfort toys, such as stuffed animals and dolls, and store their action-orientated toys out of sight in trunks, closets and cabinets.

Bedroom decorating theme for Boys

A decorating theme is a great way to begin decorating a room for a child. If you're like most parents, you've probably spent lots of time thinking about decorating your new child's room even before he joined your family. All boys love to climb, give your boys their play forts to enjoy sleep and play. Smaller bedrooms need creative storage solutions. Create a fun study and hangout for your teen

There are lots of great themes for boys' rooms. A special theme will provide both the focus and the inspiration for a special one-of-a-kind room and can be adapted as your child grows. Time to get started!

Favorite Animals


What boy wouldn't love a room focusing on his favorite pet? Whether it's a dog or cat, bird or snake, using this theme will make your son (and his pet) feel particularly at home. Be sure to put up lots of pictures with your son and his best friend around the room and make sure you have stuffed animals scattered everywhere.

Rustic Cabin


Most every child loves spending time at camp or in the mountains. And what parent doesn't have happy childhood memories of hiking, boating, fishing, or just enjoying the outdoors. Birdhouses, bears, moose, and fish might show up in wallpaper borders, in fabrics, bedding, and accessories. For a rustic room you might also choose comfy plaid patterns, flannel fabrics, and log or pine beds. Accessories might use forest themes of animals, mountain scenes, or natural materials such as pine cones, leaves, and sticks. Take another cue from camp and use a sturdy trunk to store toys. With a room this nice, who needs a vacation?

Safari


For a safari look, find wonderful, colorful animal wallpaper borders and fabrics at any wallpaper store. Paint the walls blue, tan, ivory, or any of the colors in your wallpaper border. Make pillows and valances from coordinating leopard-print fabrics, and find some stuffed lions and tigers for the corner. Mount a butterfly net, binoculars, or straw hat on the walls. Use colorful matboard and frame some of your child's artwork to display. Maybe he'll draw some lions!

Cribs or Moses baskets are a must. If you decide to use cribs, the advantage is that its rocking action will help the baby sleep. These are usually made of wood. Moses baskets are lightweight, easy to carry from one room to another and are made from wicker.

Safe Baby Bedding

Parents should remove any quilts, stuffed animals, comforters, and other soft bedding items from your baby's crib. The cause behind this is, taht the parents should keep in mind that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) advises that "babies have been found dead on their stomachs with their faces, noses, and mouths covered by soft bedding, such as pillows, quilts, comforters and sheepskins."




When shopping for baby cribs, outfitting your nursery, and buying baby bedding, keep in mind that no pillows, quilts, comforters and sheepskins should be brought .



Instead of using these types of baby bedding, the CPSC recommends that you use "a sleeper or other sleep clothing as an alternative to blankets, with no other covering." This can include a sleep sack or wearable sleep blanket or footed sleeper.

If you do use a blanket in your baby's crib, the CPSC recommends that you put your baby's "feet at the foot of the crib. Tuck a thin blanket around the crib mattress, reaching only as far as the baby's chest," making sure that the blanket doesn't cover your baby's head.

Baby Cribs

Most parents can get away with keeping their newborn in a bassinet for the first few weeks of life; eventually however, all parents will have to invest in some type of baby crib to ensure their newborns safety during the early years.

The number of different crib types available can often be overwhelming. There is sleigh, convertible, mini, wooden and rocking cribs to name a few. Some of the most popular baby cribs are those that convert into a toddler bed.

Other types of convertible baby cribs allow the crib to be attached next to the parents bedside for co-sleeping arrangements. This style of crib is often a popular choice among attachment parenting supporters, who believe that baby is better off sleeping with mom and dad for the first few months of life.


Some of the newest version baby cribs have the capability of rocking your newborn to sleep. This can be an exceptional plus when trying to get a colicky baby to sleep. Keep in mind however, when considering this style of crib that eventually baby will outgrow the rocking crib and have to move to an ordinary bed. The transition might be a little disconcerting at first. Babies develop habits early on, and a baby who learns how to fall asleep with rocking will likely require some type of soothing mechanism in order to fall asleep in the years to come.No matter the type of baby crib you decide on, there are certain important safety factors you should take into consideration before purchasing. These include the following:

One should never buy a "used" crib unless you are certain that it is in quality shape and has all the parts. If you are missing a part, you might be able to order spare parts from the manufacturer. NEVER, EVER try to force a crib so that it works without the spare parts. Your babies life can be in danger. Many an infant has been critically injured or suffocated because of a collapsed crib. Most manufacturers and organizations recommend purchase of a new crib to ensure the safety of your newborn infant.

Make sure that all slats are placed no more than 2 3/8 inches apart. Ensure that the mattress fits snugly into the crib, so that there is no more than a two finger width space differential between the edge of the mattress and the side of the crib
Corner posts should be no higher than 1/16 of an inch to prevent entanglement or suffocation. Screws and bolts should all be secure.
