Already in the final stretch of special baby room decoration, we wanted to devote this week special attention to the decoration of children's bedrooms in the current times, times of crisis, which for many involve having a low budget to furnish and decorate. Today we are going to focus on low cost ideas to renovate the baby's room.
Just as we renew the clothes in our closet with seasonal changes and even our own image from time to time, too the rooms sometimes need a change of look. It may be simply because we get tired of seeing them always the same and in the specific case of the rooms of the little ones in the house, also because of the changes in the needs of the children as they grow.
General cleaning and reorganization of details
When we are bored of a room or whatever we consider it is time to renew it, the first thing we should do is take out everything inside, check it out, get rid of what is no use and replace what we want to stay with. Over time it is common for us to accumulate things that we do not use and clearly that is not a good idea, if what we have left over is in good condition we can give it away and what is not worth anything we must throw it away.Once we are left with what really interests us, one way to slightly change the look of a room is do a general cleaning and change some site stuff. Whether in the children's room or in general in any room of the house, a face lift as simple as that, makes the room look like new and look like another. I do not know if it happens to you but when I finish a general cleaning, with everything already in place, neat and tidy, I like to look from time to time how well it has been, sometimes I even feel a while to admire the result .
Wall renovation
But maybe cleaning and reorganization is not enough because what you are looking for is a deeper change, maybe a change of color in the walls, hide a mural that no longer corresponds to the child's age or tastes, create a new one on a wall that was previously smooth ... Changes in the decoration of the walls will make the room look really different, since the walls They have a lot of prominence and are always in sight.
Without excessive spending and without the need to hire a professional, with some paint cans or a roll of wallpaper, a free weekend, desire and patience, we can get on the wall everything we have proposed. With this I am not saying that it is not a good idea to hire a professional painter, who obviously would do an excellent job and save us the task, but if we cannot afford it, we can make the change ourselves.
If we want to go from white to color, it will take a couple of hands so that the color fits us well, if the change is the opposite, we may need up to three hands to recover the white, if we want some other effect like stripes or drawings, obviously it will give us more work, but with templates, bodybuilder tape and a bit of skill, we can get excellent results.
Changes in textile accessories
One of the things that more mark the decorative style of a bedroom are textiles, I often recommend that colors be introduced through textiles because they are easier to change, curtains, bedding, bedspread, cushions, carpet ... there are a lot of things made of fabric, wool ... in the room that can be changed with some frequency and that make the room look like another.
For example in the case of the cushions do not need to change them for others, just put some covers new and make a cushion cover is the easiest thing in the world, we can sew it ourselves by hand or machine, maybe we can even recycle fabrics that we have at home, of some dress or some old shirt, I assure you that I have seen them with results excellent.
The quilt is very fashionable to do it with sock or crochet, also with remnants of wool of different colors, of course that is already more complicated than the cushion, because you have to know how to sock or crochet and obviously it will take longer. Curtains and carpets there are many prices, but we all know that today we can get them at a really low price of the color of our choice.
Washing of old furniture face
Finally if what we want to change are the furnitureThere are several options to modify them with little effort, we can sand them and paint them in another color, or change their handles for radically different ones or we can do both at the same time. There are more complex image changes like the one in the photos, an old and outdated TV cabinet can be turned into a beautiful toy kitchen, of course for something like that you have to have enough skill.
The furniture can be changed with paint or also can be papered or entelar, Nowadays, the slate effect paint is very fashionable on which later it can be drawn with chalk, although I recommend using it with caution, because it looks very good, but then the chalk stains a lot.
In the case of the drawers, storage furniture or changing table, with a makeover is enough, the cradle if it is not convertible, by removing one of the sides we can easily convert it into a seat, you can also make a desk with it, removing the side and raising the base ... the options will depend to some extent on the cradle we have, but you can always do things with her.
In short, we will say that once we have made the initial investment to furnish the baby's bedroom, almost everyone the changes we want to make in it, we can make them for ourselves spending the least on material and sometimes taking advantage of things we already have at home. The important thing is to have desire and imagination, to imagine the room of our dreams and that of our children's dreams and materialize it.
