new ideas for Kid's Rooms

1-Red , White and Blue


A scheme composed of primary colors -- red, blue, and yellow -- is always popular in a child's room. Here they are used in their boldest, truest forms, with red and blue doing a balancing act, while yellow takes the role of accent color.

2- Checkmate


A well-designed room will contain accessories that support the overall color scheme. Notice how this fanciful chess set works with the rest of the room.

3 - Cozy Alcove



This child's bed is set within a dormer off the open bunk space of the second floor. The bed could have been placed farther into the dormer, but it's much more interesting with curtains on two sides and a little space between the mattress and the window

(its base hides ductwork behind the drawers).


4 - Goodnight Moon


Purchasing a crib and mattress can be expensive, but some models are convertible, meaning they can be used as the baby's first real bed rather than go into storage when he outgrows the crib. When making the change, consider redesigning the room with new bedding, furniture, and accessories.


5 - Black and White Modern



This teen room exudes city style with striped walls, Zebra print bedding, and the resident's own pop art. A cheap-chic sitting area, black edged wardrobe mirrors, and button- and domino-decked picture frames add the finishing touch.

6 - Down to Earth Decor



This room has four looks in one. It has been divided into different areas and painted to represent the four elements: earth, water, air and fire. It's a colorful scheme with lots to interest and amuse children.

7 - Desert Caravan


This exotic teen room is decorated with onion dome wardrobe mirrors, tassel-decorated pillows, a slipcovered sofa and hanging votives. Polyester lace curtains, a hand-stenciled carpet and tri-colored wall treatment complete the do-it-yourself scene.


8 - Rosy Posey



Play up a monochromatic, or single-color, theme by using various tints and shades of the same hue.


9 - Got the Blues?



Equal parts of cool blue and warm yellow create a pleasing balance in this room. Introducing a lesser amount of the color pink, with accessories, adds more complexity.

New ideas for curtains designs


Before your start getting curtain ideas for you windows there are some things you need to take into account. The first step to designing your window treatment is the window style. There are many different styles and shapes of windows; from the standard rectangular to the projecting bay window.

These windows all require distinctively different types of curtain hardware and curtains. A standard straight curtain rod cannot be used for a bay or bow window. The side of the house your window sits on also determines the weight of the fabric you will use. A window that receives direct sunlight needs a fabric that will filter some of the sunlight protecting your interior furniture, yet allowing enough sunlight in the winter months to help keep a room warm during the day. The same window may require a heavier fabric or insulated drapes during the cold winter night to keep the cold air from entering the room. A street side facing window may require a fabric that gives privacy and yet lets the light in. To be safe consider the flammability of the fabric. If you are going to stitch you own curtains choose a fabric that is manageable. Silk is delicate and difficult to sew and is not the choice fabric for a beginner. If the fabric is subject to getting dirty choose a fabric that can be washed easily; like cotton for kitchen curtain. Whichever fabric you choose can be enhanced by using appliqué and attaching shapes; you can bring new life to plain fabric. Use fabric glue to attach these new shapes. Decorate sheer curtains by using a colorfast outliner pen. Iron the back of the fabric to fix the ink.
