- Keep the major/ higher priced elements of the room neutral so that they are able to work with any style. They should be able to transition with your child. Examples of such items includes furniture and drapes.
- Use wallpaper to create a backdrop that can work with many different ages. Abstract, geometric or nature inspired artworks work best for this.
- Consider how your kid uses the space. If he or she is a reader, keep the books easily assessable. If they love to lounge ensure that there is a cosy chill spot and be generous with those scatter cushions. Encourage organisation by having specific storage spaces for toys, books and any other activity accessories.
- Add age appropriate accessories and artwork. These are usually inexpensive and easy to swap out as your child grows. So look for items that meet your child where they are currently are in their developmental wants and needs.
- Lastly remember to have fun while at it. Mix patterns, bring in colour, and add lots of texture. Make it a space you both love being in and everyone wins.
