Children's room Art Exalted Circles |
main principle- clutter is not waste items only, they may be beautiful items but have not been used for months or years, let go of these. And also removing some things makes space for fresh energy and new opportunities in life and relationships is important that you keep things related to your child's age. Collection of tiny tot toys even when you have a grown up teen is not so much of a good feng shuii! And also we see that people store tiny tots and small children's clothes (yes, even i had!) maybe in the hope of using them for next kids in line. But how long? that's the point here! a year or two, not fifteen years! and you get such beautiful new born goodies on first cry.
My take on Feng Shuii for children's rooms! -
For precious memories we do keep some clothes or maybe the first pair of booties of your new born, I have also, but most of them I have now removed. Point to be noted- we always have to buy new clothes for tiny tots and old clothes cannot be used , unless of course they are precious hand overs through generations like a lucky scarf and very priced possessions.
About children's room- Even though small children have so much fun the whole day, at the end of the day the chore , to assemble the clothes, toys, books, games, eatables is a very tiring task for moms and maids!

2) For their clothes, get a wardrobe solution that has enough shelves to keep everything organized. Searching for baby socks need not be a difficult task everyday! As for folding washed clothes, do remember the Marie Condo method, triple folds, neatly and then stack in the boxes.
3) Boxes and storage solutions help a lot in organizing children's clothes.You also get online storage solutions, bright, trolley wardrobes with wheels and even with a fancy colourful closer. We avoid open shelves in Feng Shuii as it accumulates dust.
4) Have the toy storage at lower level so that as your child grows you can get them int eh habit of assembling their own toys at the end of the day.
5) Art in your child's room must be bright, colorful and uplifting. Please do not hang landscapes of sceneries and galloping horses paintings in your child's room. people most often buy art for all rooms together , not giving much thought to the children's room.
So as you visit their home you see these standard artworks. galloping horses in living room, rainy thundering landscape with couple walking in rain on the bedroom wall, and flowers or birds in soft shades in child's room.
Art in your children's room can be so much more when given a thought to! I do advice that your child's age is most important when selecting artwork for their room.
1) very tiny tots , new born need soothing colour palette artworks. Too many bright and energy colors will disturb their sleep and make them cranky and irritable.
2) Avoid large sized artworks for children's rooms. From their perspective the paintings look huge and even if its a floral painting, remember it is a huge flower for them, for their size, and their eyes! they will tend to get sacred of the art.
3) For six months to a year your child is communicating with you through gestures and babbling sounds. they look at colors, go in for some bold and some soothing, a mixture of color palette artworks. You can add some amount of small reds and oranges but still be careful not to have a strong energy painting of only reds and orange colours. Go for a mix of purples, blues, red, oranges, peaches and rosy colours. Each colour heals.
4) With art you can go in for baby theme wall papers. That's the trend you see, but remember to choose carefully. For the small baby they do not know Noddy and Pokeman or Shaktimaan or Spider-man and Batmen. Those superhero wall papers and stickers are for a somewhat grown up kids room. Usually small children get scared at night with such masked figures on walls.
5) Very important, choose art from your child's point of view. I know its difficult to control the urge to choose what you have liked since childhood and not got,and you are tempted to go for that theme to decorate your tiny tots room. but take a pause here, a breath, and think at the age of your baby. their perspective is different and their likes may be totally different!and how will you come to know this? show them colors, objects, fruits, photographs of things people objects, I am sure they respond differently and this is enough for you to understand what they love and what they get scared off!~If in confusion go for neutral shades on walls and choose geometric art of harmony of colors.
(in geometric art, no pointed shapes, no poison arrows, no subjects of aggression, no complicated themes, ...well that's a totally new topic , vast topic, loads of information again!)
