Choose Color for Kids Rooms

When I was growing up, my parents chose the color for the kids rooms. The room my sister and I shared had floral baskets on the wallpaper, beautiful blue carpet, and girlish decorations. I'd never replicate it, but I'll always remember it with fondness.

Decorating a kids room using an age-appropriate theme and favorite colors is a great way to create a memorable space for your child to call his or her own.

Choose a boy's decorating theme or girl's theme, favorite colors, and add things that are important to your child. You'll have a room they'll never forget!
