Interior Design Ideas for Balloon Week


I couldn't let Balloon Week pass by without diving in and finding some fabulous bedroom interior design ideas using balloons. I wasn't looking for balloons per say, as it's easy to tie bunches of balloons onto bed-frame to celebrate a birthday or special occasion.

I was looking for children's bedroom which used balloons as a theme and while I can across various wall stickers, balloon shaped light-shades, table lamps, duvet cover sets and childrens curtains I wanted to find something that would have longevity, style and a sense of fun.

Low and behold I stumbled across these wonderful balloon lights and you have to admit they have a mystical quality about them which makes them intoxicating to look at, especially against the blue night sky effect on the walls and ceiling. Due to their neutral colour they could be used for tots and teens alike with the bedroom being decorated in a variety of different ways.

I once remember seeing a hot air balloon's fabric being used as ceiling décor and thought that was cool but I have to admit these lights are superb! What better way to acknowledge Balloon Week – but if I'm totally honest I don't really know what Balloon Week is all about – some further investigation and research needed!

New Year = New Looks in Children's Bedrooms


We all know that children grow fast, that's a fact of life – however, we mustn't lose sight of the fact that they'll also grow-out of the style of their bedroom as that's a natural part of growing up. It can come hard to some parents who have their hearts set on, for example, a princess styled bedroom for their little girl when their daughter actually wants the complete opposite!

Bright colours and children go hand-in-hand, therefore it makes sense to choose bright colours when decorating. Most children, toddlers and 'tweens also like themes – whether this is their current favourite TV character or a theme which shows an interest in their preferred play theme, for instance pirates, boats, ponies etc.

All of these themes can turn a bedroom into a great place to play as well as sleep. Finding childrens curtains with an exact match for your theme can be difficult, as such it's easy to make your own curtains by finding children's curtain fabrics online. Don't forget to use a blackout lining to help keep light out of the room day and night to help your child sleep soundly. A thermal blackout lining will also help to keep the room warm during the winter months.

Spruce Up Your Interior For Christmas – Kid's Rooms


I couldn't leave out kid's rooms – especially at Christmas! You'll find that the great thing about soft furnishings like curtains, beddings and rugs is that these come in a dizzying array of designs spanning everything from under the sea to outer space. Kids and their parents then have plenty of selections to choose from that will suit the formers' interests and preferences in room décor. In short, anything goes.

There's no need to purchase new pieces of furniture like a bed, tables and chairs, wardrobes and storage shelves. Simply changing the soft furnishings in the room gives the area a new look although you may also want to apply a fresh coat of paint to the walls.

Parents and kids can choose from numerous themes most of which come in complete sets from childrens curtains to the rugs and from the duvet cover sets to pillowcases. If your desired theme does not come in a set, I suggest improvising. For example, buy fabric with TV character prints, cut a few figures and then pin (use safety pins) onto the curtains for a Christmas theme which is special for you child – these can easily be removed in the New Year.

If you don't want to be woken at the crack of dawn on Christmas Day, or any other day for that matter blackout curtains are always worth considering for kids rooms!
