Kids grow up fast, and before long, your little one will no longer want the tractor stickers on the wall or the bright pink dollhouse in the window. It can be hard to come to terms with, but you should remember that it's an exciting transition and one that you should encourage.
If your child is ready to turn their kid's room into a teenage abode, here are some top tips for helping them do it.
First of all, you must sort through all of their items to decide what stays and what goes. Do this together, as you don't want to throw something they cherish out with the rubbish! While your kid might be a little eager to throw away everything kid-like, try to hold on to at least a couple of items, as they'll appreciate the sentimental reminder when they're a little older.
If you end up with a heap of unwanted items that you can't donate, use Junk Taxi to clear it for you. Once everything has gone, you're ready to begin the transition!
Clear the whole room, put some newspaper down, and get out the paints. While your kid might have previously enjoyed bright yellows, greens, or pinks, they might now want something a little more sophisticated like creams and dark blues. Have a look at some color ideas together, and when they've made their decision, get to work on repainting the bedroom.
Children grow quickly, so if their toes are starting to poke out the end of the bed, it's time for a replacement. Ideally, a teen would have a three-quarter or double bed so they can stretch out, but if you don't have the room, there are still plenty of high-quality single beds that'll fit a teenager just fine.
With a new bed comes new duvet covers and sheets, so browse the catalogues and find ones that match your teen's newfound maturity.
As your kid grows into a teenager, they'll start getting a lot more homework, so make sure you provide ample desk space for studying. A desk, drawers, a lamp, and stationery will give your teen what they need to work hard.
You should also try to spark their creativity by purchasing some pencils, paints, and other crafty items so that they can express themselves when they're not focused on school work.
As a parent, you'll be familiar with buying new clothes for your kid, but this time, they might want items a little different. Go through their wardrobe, donating anything that they no longer fit into, and then take them shopping for a brand-new closet.
You don't need to provide a hundred outfits to give them a wardrobe they'll enjoy (remember - they'll keep growing!); simply try to cover the basics and allow them to choose a style they enjoy.
Lastly, let them decorate however they want, even if you think it doesn't look great. Your teen's individuality is important, and they'll be the ones who spend the most time in the room, so give them the freedom to hang posters, put up fairy lights, and fill their bed with velvet cushions.
