Is it time for you to clear out your child’s crib and design a bedroom centered around your toddler’s interests? One of the best ways to do this is by using calming colors to encourage rest and interactive toys for play time. You can also make things run more smoothly by designating specific play areas. Below are a few ideas to help you get started.

The crib goes out and in comes the bed. Toddlers are hyperactive and if they can only make decisions for themselves, they would probably rally on “no sleep and play all day!” chant. So make your toddler’s room as relaxing as possible to stimulate sleep. It’s hard enough as it is to put toddlers to sleep without the rich and bright colors, so just imagine how the colors yellow or red can do to a child’s awakened state. Go for the calming shades of pastels, tans, blues, lavenders and creams. Anything to encourage sleep, bring it on!

Because a bed can take most of the space, especially if your toddler has a small bedroom, it limits the space for playing. Now that’s a disappointment for your baby and a frustration for you, as your child will always want to go out and play anywhere as long as the place is big! Thus, arrange the furniture in such a way that there’s ample space for play. If your toddler boy has a bunk bed, you can modify the upper bunk as his airplane cockpit.

Organizing the room is important. It gives an early orientation for the child to value cleanliness. One way to organize the room is by using area rugs. Not only do area rugs serve this function in addition to acting as a floor covering and cushion, but area rugs also give more appeal to the bedroom. There’s more color, design, shape and pattern. A rug with cars as designs can fulfill a little boy’s interest for toy cars and such. It’s like having his own racetrack! But yes, a lot softer and safer. An area rug with animals or cartoon characters as design gives a little girl more friends to join her playhouse fun. A rug as a main play area is comfortable. Sitting on the floor or rolling around will become less painful for your baby…and for you.

Finally letting go of the nursery and preparing for a toddler room is exciting and yes, emotional. Your baby is growing up! In a few years, you will again be redecorating for a preschool kid and saying goodbye to a toddler sanctuary. So don’t use anything too permanent. You might regret it for the hard work you have to do later on.

Don’t be ripped off by imitations. Be sure to buy authentic kids rugs directly.
