Having decided to open up a new children’s interior design
arm to my mural and artworks, I have spent a considerable amount of time researching
this subject.
From the gigantic and eclectic varieties of inspiration on Pinterest
and Etsy, to browsing on various specialist websites the ideas are simply endless.
One thing is clear, that the environment a child grows up in
and the environment it comes to from a hard day at school or a huge family
dinner downstairs, is so important to their mind and soul. A room is the place we would relax and let our minds soar into the adventures of books, it's a place where we would feel that cosy not wanting to go to school feeling at 6am, and it's that place where we would play with our friends endless games and invent fantastical stories without end.
The room is a safe haven and is where any child should be made to feel free and themselves and that's why it deserves to be special.
I remember growing up as a child and into my early
teens, finding such amazing comfort in the TV show ‘The Queens Nose’. In series one, I
was enraptured by her bedroom and the eclectic designs. She had wind chimes and
secret hiding places, old English furniture and rustic coloured fabrics. Her
room was where my imagination grew up. She was what I wanted to be.
Not to mention the fact they lived in a wonderful
house in Chelsea and she was an artist like me.
And that’s where I developed my love for the look and
design of a bedroom. I went through a phase when my father kindly offered to
send me to university to study interior design, however the thought of mathematics
and measurements frightened my right brain so much, I decided to stick with
just being an artist. A decision I do regret, however it gives me the pleasure of working with those whose passion interior design really is. Especially in children's rooms.
It is incredible the design of kid’s
bedrooms. There really are no limitations unlike grown up's rooms. I found a few I liked and wanted to share with you.
From magical princess rooms..
To shabby chic vintage Laura Ashleyesk...
From simplistic Nordic....
From doing wall murals, one thing I know and is the challenge with interior design too; finding a theme that will carry the child through from the moment they get their room done, till as long as possible.
If the child is under 5 then perhaps that would be too much to ask. Although I do know some people who had the same room from birth till they moved out, minus some changes with furniture. However I do believe, that is not a thing of the new generation.
Nowdays anyone can make their child's room special on a budget. However for more help in creating that something much more special, please feel free to get in touch with me via my website: www.childrensartworld.co.uk
I will be blogging more about interior design and free design tips as well as kids arts and crafts ideas very soon, so keep coming back.
