Have you ever wanted to spruce up a room but not know where to start? Children’s rooms can be particularly daunting to do, especially if they don’t have any well-defined interests. In this article, you will discover a way to transform your little person’s bland bedroom into a world that stimulates their imagination and sends them on adventures.

Melbourne, Victoria, is currently in a COVID-19 lockdown resulting in only essential members of the public being allowed to leave their homes, strict curfews, and strong penalties. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t dedicate this time to a great project (cue small human’s bedroom makeover idea) opportunity. After all, online shopping and contactless delivery still exist!
Wall Decals
Decals are stickers that can be applied to a surface that goes on clean and easy, and come off the same way. Decals can be purchased from a variety of stores, in-person and online, and come in a large array of themes and colours – they even have some for the adults!

Decals are a highly inexpensive way of applying pictures to a wall that make the wall seem as if you have had a professional artist do a mural. Decals leave no residue so can be used in rental properties. Due to the temporary nature of decals, these can be removed and changed when your child outgrows the theme.
Blinds
Blinds are another great way to personalise a space and harmonise a theme in a room. Custom made blinds have the ability to be done in a fabric of your choosing. Even better is they will always fit the window rather than that DIY job your other half promised you they would do several months ago because it was going to be cheaper.

With blinds, choose your theme and fabric, get them ordered and installed, and enjoy the look on your child’s face as they step into a new world.
Fairy Lights
Even the “big kids” like fairy lights… Fairy lights are no longer for decorating Christmas trees but are for decorating everything! They can be woven into rugs, baskets, around window frames, bookcases, or door frames. Fairy lights add a touch of magic to any environment and can even be used for mood lighting around the house.

Fairy lights come in different styles. For example cacti, flamingoes, flowers, diamonds, butterflies, clouds, soccer balls, and birds. A thorough online search will highlight just how diverse a range of fairy lights there is.
Melbourne’s current lockdown climate has created a perfect opportunity to complete a project such as decorating a children’s bedroom. Online shopping and contactless delivery have made it easy to do this and comply with lockdown requirements.
Custom made blinds can be ordered online by taking accurate measurements and will be made to the required specifications so that all you have to do is install them. Decals can be purchased from many online retailers and shipped directly to your door, leaving you to only have to wipe down the wall before applying them and enjoying the way they change a room. And lastly, fairy lights can also be purchased through online retailers so that all you have to do is stick them to the wall or bed frame to finish off that magical transformation.
