Tip #3: Don't select kid’s bedroom decor only for the look and colors. Whenever you're selecting kids room decor you should make sure there is a dual purpose for the item. For example, a kid’s wall clock is not only a beautiful decorative piece to add to the wall to finish out a themed bedroom, but it can also be used to help your child understand when it's bedtime. Dresser knobs on kid’s dresser drawers can be used to teach your kids where the clothes get put away. For example, if you have a safari themed bedroom you can put lion knobs on the top dresser drawer where the socks and underwear are kept. Then you can say to your child to get their clothes from the "lions den".
