So, have you actually 'decorated' your kid's bedroom? Or do you keep putting it off because you just don't know where to start? Maybe you decorated your child's room, and got it done just in time to do it all over again because he outgrew the theme!

Decorating your child's bedroom every two or three years can get to be expensive and time consuming. With a little planning ahead and some simple kid's bedroom decor tips, you can save money and time whether you are a do-it-yourself person or not. Even if you choose to use a decorator or designer to decorate your child's room, you can save by asking them to follow a few simple guidelines.

• Window treatments don't really get a lot of wear and tear. So you could spend a little more here when decorating a child's bedroom and get the best quality you can afford. Just keep in mind that you should choose a treatment that is solid, plaid, stripe or some other neutral pattern so when you update the bedroom, you can work with these.
• The same might be said for bed skirts, but I've often seen them hanging down because the mattress scoots around, and then they get stepped on and torn. So use your own judgment here for your kid's bed. You might consider having the bedskirt a little shorter than the norm so it's about an inch or inch and a half off the floor. It could be attached to the box springs or side rails with Velcro or snaps, or attached to a fitted sheet that slips over the box springs so it stays in place better.
• Using NON-theme specific wall treatments (paint, faux finishes, wallpaper) and bedding will allow your child to add their own special touches such as posters, pillows, their own artwork and other accents that ARE in their theme of choice. . . . . . And as fast as they change their minds and themes change and fads move on, this will be a very important point when you are considering various kids bedrooms ideas to use.
