Using A Puppy And Kitty Theme
September 1, 2010 Home No CommentsLooking for a different theme for your child’s room? Well there is a great way to change a room, change it to a puppy theme or how about those cute little kitten themes? Both of these animals are loved by kids of all ages, and most of them will want to have a pet while they are growing up. Sometimes due to circumstances you are not able to have a pet, so why not decorate their room up instead!
For this project I suggest choosing a wall paper with an animal theme. Puppies, kittens, bunnies, and many other lovable pets are offered in various patterns and colors. If wall paper is out of your price range create you may be able to create your own. To do this, choose a solid color for your wall. I prefer white, but any will work. Next find some stickers that have the pet you desire. Buy several hundred of these and place in a pattern on at least one wall. If you have used white paint the border of the sticker will not be noticeable, however if you did not use white you may want to edge the stickers in your background color so that it all appears to be one piece. The cost of this project will depend on the size of your room. My daughter’s room is 6′ X9′ and I was able to do her walls for only about $30.00.
Next find a comforter set with the desired pet. This will begin to create your room’s focal point. In almost any bedroom the bed will be the focal point, so decorate it well. Besides the comforter set find stuffed animals and throw pillows that match your theme and color scheme. It is very important to match this room rather than blend it. Matching will help young children learn about color, tone, and hue. It will also help them learn to recognize patterns.
Don’t forget the addition of an area rug, which you can get in so many different shapes, sizes and colors. A great thing about an area rug is it will help with the wear and tear on the floor, it’s easy to clean, and very inexpensive too. The area rug will be a great way to make sure the full room is tied together as far as decor too.
With a great theme of a puppy or a kitten you will have a lovely looking room for your child. And if you have had them help with the decorating it will also help out their self esteem. So have a project that both you and your child can do and redecorate their room.
