Room for kids not only serves as a place to sleep but also to play, study, read comics, spend quality time with parents, siblings and friends, listen to music, giving vent to their creative and artistic tendencies and carrying out their fantasies. Thus, the approach to decorate a kid's room is quite different from an adult's room. Here are some tips for you:

* Involve the child and take their advice while figuring out the color and style of the décor of their room and match it to their personality, hobbies and fantasies.
* You may even take their advice while choosing the fabrics, accessories and collectibles for their room but make sure they are child-safe, do not have sharp edges, easy to clean and are unbreakable.
* Multi-functional and versatile furniture pieces that can serve for entertaining, reading, sleeping and hiding toys and dirty clothes are an asset in a kids' room.
* Kids need a lot of storage space so opt for more and more shelves and racks, plastic and transparent containers, baskets and closets to make space for keeping their clothes, drop their socks, books, shoes, playthings and other accessories.
* Use a single versatile cheap fabric for pillows, lampshades, bed ruffles and quilts for a harmonious look.
* Long curtains and draperies may trip a child so opt for shorter curtains, shades and windows that are simplistic. You may add artistic valances made by children to encourage them to keep their room look beautiful and have a feeling of accomplishment.
* Nightlight, task light or a study lamp for doing homework and soothing light for relaxing is a must.
* Play with colors to create patterns, add stars to the ceiling and whimsical borders along the edges.
* Use semi-gloss and high gloss paints that are easily washable.
* Bright colors should be use in a limit or it may look disturbing.
* The child can choose theme of the room as angels, ocean, aliens, Harry Potter and other myriads of ideas depending on their taste and inclination.
