They can apply\nwhether it is for the arrival of your first baby, or for the toddler growing up\ninto a child, or for the transition to teenager. So here is a guest post\noffering some top tips when renovating your child&#8217;s bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/charles-1171440-unsplash.jpg?resize=800%2C1200\" alt=\"cor and mobile\" class=\"wp-image-25892\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Photo by Charles &#x1f1f5;&#x1f1ed; on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Renovating a Child\u2019s\nBedroom to Your Budget<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any renovation or decorating project, you need to have an idea\nof how much you want to spend on the job. In the case of something relatively\nsimple like a bedroom makeover, you may also want to think about doing the job\nyourself which will also save you some money. &nbsp;Think about what costs are essential and what the\nthings that you can add in later are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Renovating a Child\u2019s\nBedroom the Theme <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When renovating a Child\u2019s Bedroom think about whether thereis something that the child is particularly keen on, like <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/2013\/08\/05\/dinosaur-bedroom-makeover-motivationalmonday\/\">dinosaurs<\/a> or dancing or cars? It&#8217;s neither difficult nor expensive to incorporate a theme into a room, but remember that in a few years your child may have grown out of it, so carrying out the theme in such a way that it can be changed or modified without too much difficulty or expense is a good idea. Let the accessories carry the theme! If you are planning to have a intricate design on the wall then I would recommend getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myjobquote.co.uk\/painters-decorators\">local decorator<\/a> to come in and assist you with the makeover. Remember that if you are doing a complete makeover, things like light fittings and ceiling fans will probably need to be changed too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pirate-room.jpg?resize=800%2C533\" alt=\"Pirate room LEGOLAND Windsor Hotel\" class=\"wp-image-18920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pirate-room.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pirate-room.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/pirate-room.jpg?resize=768%2C512 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Colours for Renovating\na Child\u2019s Bedroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The colour palette for the room is directly tied into the theme, and\nideally, try not to use more than three colours. Paint is cheap, quick and easy\nto apply, and easy to change at a later date when your 4-year-old daughter\nloves pink and purple but by age 10 likes yellow and green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/william-felker-38350-unsplash.jpg?resize=800%2C800\" alt=\"paint brushes one with blue on the end and the other with red\" class=\"wp-image-25887\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Photo by William Felker on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Considering the Bed when\nRenovating a Child\u2019s Bedroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the makeover is for a baby, the bed is an easy choice. However, if\nthe makeover is for a toddler, think a few years down the line when a bigger\nbed might be needed and try to redecorate so that the bed can be changed out\nand the whole room still look appealing. Bunk beds or loft beds are great for\nspace saving in a smaller room, or where more than one child uses the bedroom\n(or even if you want to think about when they have sleepovers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Storage for a Child\u2019s\nBedroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children always have lots of stuff, so think about cupboards, bins and\nshelves so that toys, clothes, books, etc. have a home even if they are not\nalways in it. Storage bins and boxes can be fun and funky and become a feature\nof the room too. If there is no existing cupboard, do you want to have\nsomething built in or do you want to buy some furniture to provide storage for\nclothes and shoes? Adequate storage is a must!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinkoddy.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/uby-yanes-1353747-unsplash.jpg?resize=800%2C1067\" alt=\"child's clothes on hanging rack\" class=\"wp-image-25889\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Photo by Uby Yanes on Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does your Child\u2019s\nBedroom have Space for a Desk?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most children will want to have some sort of table or desk in their\nroom, somewhere that they can do homework or work on art projects, play games\nor a host of other activities. The desk can be a stand-alone piece of furniture\nor built in as part of a cupboard or loft bed &#8211; there are many different\noptions to choose from here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesensoryseeker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/legoland-room.jpg?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DIY when Renovating a\nChild\u2019s Bedroom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are planning to do the project yourself, the easiest thing to do\nis move absolutely everything out of the room first. Preparation is key to a\nsuccessful project! If you are not refinishing the floor, cover it completely\nwith a drop cloth &#8211; an old sheet will do or a tarpaulin or some plastic\nsheeting. Check the wall for dings and cracks and repair accordingly. Be\nprepared for it to take a while and have patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there you have it! With these tips and some planning ahead of time,\nrenovating your child&#8217;s bedroom should be a fun weekend project for the whole\nfamily, but do not hesitate to get help or advice from a professional if\nnecessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>This is a\nsponsored post.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tips for renovating a child&#8217;s bedroom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25892,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3986],"tags":[174,4472],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/charles-1171440-unsplash.jpg?fit=800%2C1200","uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/charles-1171440-unsplash.jpg?fit=800%2C1200",800,1200,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/charles-1171440-unsplash.jpg?resize=150%2C150",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/charles-1171440-unsplash.jpg?fit=200%2C300",200,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/charles-1171440-unsplash.jpg?fit=768%2C1152",768,1152,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/charles-1171440-unsplash.jpg?fit=683%2C1024",683,1024,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/charles-1171440-unsplash.jpg?fit=800%2C1200",800,1200,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/54.155.211.39\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/charles-1171440-unsplash.jpg?fit=800%2C1200",800,1200,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"pinkoddy","author_link":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/author\/pinkoddy\/"},"uagb_comment_info":1,"uagb_excerpt":"Tips for renovating a child's bedroom","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pepM9j-6Jt","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25883"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/54.155.211.39\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
