Listen, I get it. The holidays are a rented time for everyone. You have parties, guests from out of town, supplies to make, and areas to decorate.
So why would you want to add increasingly to your plate by moreover decorating your kids’ rooms for the holidays? While there’s certainly no rule that says you have to, we have a few reasons why we love the tradition and we may convince you to do the same!
For this cheery post we are partnering with our friends at Spoonflower who, in wing to stuff a go-to spot for wallpaper and fabric, are the perfect place to shop for home decor (and other finishing touches) you may need for your space.
They moreover support the work of thousands of self-sustaining artists and have designs to pick from for any holiday!
Looking for increasingly decor ideas? Check out:
For my daughter Lola’s holiday room, I picked out this winsome Santa print for a duvet cover. I love how these checked red and untried sheets set match, but gives flipside pop of pattern and color.
I moreover thought it would be fun to do holiday taps and picked out these snacks cane curtains and this nutcracker wall hanging.
So, why should I decorate my kid’s room for the holidays? I’ll tell you why …
Childhood holiday magic doesn’t last forever: Sad but true. While the holidays still retain magic as an adult, it just can’t quite match the level that you felt as a kid, with the promise of presents, decorations, and the smell of cookies in the air.
So why not play into all that fun while you can and make it as special as possible for them? And seeing that light in their vision is so fun for you, too!
The holidays are well-nigh memories (and physical items have a role!): While holidays are well-nigh people and time with loved ones at its core, I think we all have special memories unfluctuating with a few physical items from the holidays.
I know my family has a special connection to some Christmas plates and cups we still use every year for Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas morning brunch.
And, I remember the thrill of getting out our special Christmas pajamas and sheet sets each year to make going to bed a magical time.
You can buy items to use year without year to make it simple: While there are some categories that are super fun (like holiday pajamas) if you have kids, you know they grow out of those yearly.
It’s nice to have your main kid’s room decorations be things that they can use year without year like bedsheets and pillows, duvet covers, throw blankets, curtains, or wall hangings.
Making a holiday bookshelf zone is moreover a really cute tradition, and you can use those books over and over and add new ones here and there (or get them from the library!).
Choosing the right items makes decorating super fast: While everyone’s to-do list gets loooong during the holidays, items like sheets are easy to transpiration out. You have to transpiration and wash their sheets every so often anyways, throw pillows can be tossed out in a second, and switching out artwork is super fast.
You can plane make paper Santa hats to add to artwork like I did to her cat picture! Picking items that are a snap to set up ways that you have increasingly time for cookie decorating and hot chocolate by the fire, right?
It’s just CUTE, OK?!? I mean, do you really need a reason to surprise a kiddo with an winsome room decorated just for them for their favorite holiday of the year?! I didn’t think so. It’s. Just. CUTE.
If your kiddo loves the holidays as much as mine does, then the squint on their squatter once their room is decorated is totally unbearable to make the effort worth it.
And some kids (like mine) love to help decorate for any occasion, so you can get a mini-helper for the changeover as well. Hope these ideas help make the holidays a little increasingly special for everyone in your house! xo. Laura
