How to create an evolving children's bedroom

Children grow at a rate it seems that time goes too fast. When a baby comes into our lives we have everything ready in the parents' bedroom to be able to attend to him during the night, but at the same time your bedroom will be fully decorated and equipped. As the months go by, his bedroom is fully prepared and equipped for his first year of life. But what happens next?

The children's bedroom is a bedroom that must be versatile, where the room evolves as the children do. In this way you will avoid having to spend too much money on new decorations, new furniture and having to adapt to the tastes of your child as he grows.

What not to do

When decorating a children's bedroom, the last thing you should do is decorate thinking about how old your child is at that time. For example, if you think about decorating a bedroom when your child is a baby, you will probably opt for a crib (which will barely last a few months or two years at most), children's details and even small furniture that will quickly become obsolete and that surely they cannot fulfill all the necessary ones.

An example of totally expendable furniture is the changing table. It is true that when the baby is small it works very well, but only for a few months and it is not always used to change the little one. Many times you will be surprised using the bed, the sofa or any other surface. So this furniture when you least expect it will end up being a junk that you will give away.

So that you do not find yourself in moments when you realize that you are wasting your money, your time and your energy, the best thing you can do is create an evolving children's bedroom since your child arrives in this world. Only in this way you can avoid spending too much money, the changes will be minimal and easy to make and best of all, the bedroom will grow together with your son or daughter. You want to know more?

Colors matter

If you decorate the bedroom with too childish colors, it is likely that when he grows up you will have to change the paint. That although it is true that the paint should be touched up from time to time, it is quite annoying to have to change the combinations completely since furniture and textiles usually or should change little.

For example, if you choose the colors in pastel tones so that your baby's room is as sweet as possible, you will realize that as soon as 5 years pass you will need more vivid and vibrant colors.

So what can be the best option in these cases? You should choose colors that are easily combined with the textiles or accent accessories in the bedroom, that are easier to change and that they can combine perfectly. For example, you should have the walls with neutral colors and play with the colors of the rest of the room. So you can change the colors without having to paint the walls in another color from time to time!

Evolutionary furniture

It is necessary that from before your child is born you have in mind the need to have evolving furniture in his bedroom. Only in this way you can use the furniture for longer and you can save a lot of money. Evolutionary furniture is furniture that will accompany your child as he grows up without having to change them for others that suit his needs. Below you will see some examples.

The dresser without changing table

The dresser does not need to be a changing table. A dresser is practical and functional at all times because its drawers are a great help to store but it does not need to be a changing table. The changing table is totally expendable and if you don't spend extra money on this, all the better.

The crib, better be a crib - bed

The crib to really be evolutionary you can choose to buy a crib - bed. A baby will not sleep in a bed from the moment it is born since it is too big and even dangerous because it does not have bars or bumps to protect it. But currently they sell some crib - bed that are ideal for babies and that can sleep in them until they are 7 years old if necessary. These beds usually have bars that can be removed so that children when they are older have their little bed. And there are even some models that become sofas so that when the children are older and need another type of bed, it is not necessary to have to discard this furniture and it continues to have a presence and functionality within the bedroom.

The closets

There are many parents who are tempted to buy furniture in tiny sizes because their children are small and thus can have more access to cabinets and furniture. Although you think this will help their autonomy, it does not have to be that way always. That is, you can help him with his autonomy with furniture that will last him all the time.

For example, instead of buying furniture that is small in size, it is better to buy furniture, cabinets or tables that can adapt to its growth. You will only have to use more frequently the drawers that your child reaches or the storage areas that are most accessible to him.. In this way, your little one will be able to work on his autonomy perfectly and you will have furniture that will last at least until adolescence or more.

Investing in quality is a good option

In addition to adding personality to your son or daughter's bedroom and taking into account their tastes as they grow in textiles and accessories, you should also take quality into account.

Quality furniture and textiles will ensure that these items last you longer. On the other hand, if you prefer not to invest money in quality, it is likely that in the long run you will regret it because it breaks more easily or because the wear and tear of daily use causes it to deteriorate and affect the room.
