Enchanting tips to make your child’s bedroom magical…

As a little boy or girl, there’s nothing more exciting than the thought of magical lands and enchanting places, with ogres and princesses and their talking pets. From television programmes and films, to books and games, there is magic all around, and sprinkling some of that magic into your little one’s bedroom will help to make sure they have a bedroom they love! Looking for ways to bring your child’s bedroom to life? Here is a selection of enchanting tips to help you on your way…

Wand-erful wallpaper

Plain walls are such a bore for an imaginative child’s bedroom. Even if it’s a bright blue or a sunshine yellow. Imagine how cool it would be for them to have literally any image (or images) or theme they desired… on their bedroom walls! And PhotoWall has the perfect solution with their custom wallpapers where you can actually design your own mural! So whether it’s a galaxy theme or a rainforest one, or perhaps a replication of a football stadium for your footie-loving boy, your little one can create their own world on the walls of their room. 

A place to escape

Having dens and playing hide-and-seek are always really popular with little ones, especially when playing with their friends. The idea of having a space that you can go to where nobody can find you, in your own little den, is always really thrilling and can create hours of entertainment. Introducing a small space within your child’s bedroom, like a tepee tent or a hidden space under the bunk bed, will give your child their very own den space to play in. Whether they use this space to read their favourite books, watch some of their favourite programmes or even just hide from the rest of the world for a little while, it can really help to enhance their imagination and encourage them to enjoy their own company.

All that glitters and glows

The first thing most people think of when you say ‘magic’ is sparks of glitter, bright lights and stars, so it’s a really good idea to incorporate this into the magical bedroom décor. One of the most popular options for a child’s bedroom is a star projector, or a selection of glow-in-the-dark stars that will create a soft glow in your child’s bedroom. Once the bedroom lights are switched off, you can switch on the projector and see a whole ceiling full of enchanting stars. Similarly, your little one may want beautiful bursts of glitter all over the bedroom, from the door right through to the walls, as this helps to capture that magical feel every time they walk into their bedroom. 

Make a statement

With bedroom décor, it’s really easy to create a bold statement. You often find that the bed space is the easiest area to create a statement, whether that’s with a bright headboard and exciting bedding (try  reflecting the theme of the room), decorating the wall space behind the headboard to bring that area to life or even with the type of bed itself, for instance getting a bunk bed, loft bed or novelty bed instead of a regular bed. Not only do these come with multi-functional units and additional storage space, but they also make your child’s bedroom look super cool!  

Personalise the space

While all the above tips can make your child’s room feel magical and inviting, it is also important to make it feel special and comforting; it is, after all, their safe space, a place where they rest, rejuvenate and often spend a lot of time. So don’t forget to personalise their bedroom as well. It could be with something as simple as some family photographs or perhaps an item or souvenir they cherish. It’s these small touches that make a big difference.

There are plenty of (affordable and simple) ways to make a child’s bedroom enchanting, exciting and fun, while also sparking their imagination and helping them explore their creativity.
