Give your kid’s room a cheerful summer makeover

Chennai

Wall Paper: Wall coverings determine the ambience of any space. Sometimes they can be the show stopper. We at Peekaboo take a key character from a story and build the rest around it. For example, the colour palette of the entire room or mood board can be put together based on the selection of wall paper. Be it stripes or dots or patterns or motifs, wall paper sets the fun that is required for the kid’s room. Super heroes are a current favourite with teens.

Cushions: Create a whimsical display by clustering these playful cushions on your bed. Cushions would be like decorating a cake with icing n cherries. Something that adds all the fun, the colour and can be very specific to the child’s interest. It’s a mood generator and can be customised and personalised easily. We like to bring the theme and colour palette with these soft furnishing items. There can be long cushions, in many shapes or different sizes including the huge ones that go on the floor.

Seater: Try these kiddie bean bags and let your little passenger take a  seat! Available in many designs and colours a bean chair works like almost an artefact in a kid’s room. The fun colors make it attractive and the comfort of lounging makes it every child’s favourite.  Ideal for children aged between two and seven years to laze on. Lightweight makes it easy to drag around the house  - so best for reading time or TV time!

Rugs: A floor covering is used to add colours and fun in any kid’s space.  They come in a variety of shapes - squares, rectangles, circles, etc. They can be patterned, solid or with themes. For example, transport, floral, chevron, etc. The trend right now are felt ball rugs — these can be made to order in any size or colour. A favourite design accent for every designer — the tufted rugs or felt ball rugs  give a colourful touch to the room and are specially designed to bring life to any child’s room.

Activity table and chairs: Better known as a Mess table - it is a must have for all kids! It is one item that is most functional and used by all age groups (2-15 years). Can be made in many colors and finishes but ideal when designed such that parents can use it as well. This accent piece adds that element of freedom of expression. It’s for art and craft, tea parties, lego play, puzzles, school projects or community reading. Some can be made with storage and floor seating! Create a fun space where the mothers don’t have to use the word ‘don’t’. Unleash your child’s imagination by painting or pretend play.
