Create a long-lasting kid's room with honeycomb cellular shades

It can often be difficult to design a child's room that will last for years, from infancy to childhood to adolescence, but with the proper steps, a parent can manage to create a space that will be able to adapt to a child's changing preferences, according to The Orange County Register.

Planning out the room in advance is the most important step and the color palette should be selected carefully. It may be wise to put less emphasis on bright, primary colors that a child may dislike after a few years. Instead, try to focus on capturing different hues with changeable items - pillows, blankets, accessories and artwork.

Photographs are also ideal for younger kids, so that they can always have their parents in the room with them. These can be replaced later with posters and cut-outs from magazines as children age.


Hardwood flooring can be ideal for a child's room as well, because, carpets can be used to shift with decorative themes over the years.

For bold, practical window treatments, one may want to consider hanging honeycomb cellular shades on the windows. These shades are available in a variety of distinct styles and can also insulate a room in the winter, keeping the space warm.
