It’s completely normal for young children to feel anxious when they learn their parents are looking at homes for sale. Unless they’re used to moving around a lot, they’ve probably only known one home in their life. The thought of moving to a new neighborhood, going to a new school, and making new friends can be daunting for children, which is why it’s important that you do everything you can to make the transition as smooth as possible. As one of the premier home builders in Southern Arizona, Castle & Cooke Arizona has helped countless families move into their new homes in Sierra Vista and Fort Huachuca, and we want to provide some tips to help decorate your children’s bedrooms to help them feel at home.
Let Your Child Help
If your children are old enough to offer input, listen to what they want their new bedrooms to look like—within reason, of course. At the very least you can ask your children for specific themes they are interested in and design their bedrooms accordingly. For example, one child may be interested in a space-themed bedroom while another may want a princess-themed wonderland.
Have Fun with Colors
One of the best things about buying a new home as opposed to renting is that you’re free to decorate however you’d like, and that means painting as many walls in as many colors as you (or your children) would like. Children’s bedrooms should be vibrant and fun, so don’t hesitate to pick out a colorful palette that will inspire your children’s creativity and imagination.
Use Dual-Purpose Furniture
Even if you’ve bought a new home from a home builder in Arizona known for offering spacious floorplans, you’ll want to be smart about how you utilize space to give your family as much room as possible to “stretch out” and get comfortable. In children’s bedrooms this can be accomplished by using dual-purpose furniture that offers plenty of storage and functionality.
