Kids as they grow older, they develop their own likes and dislikes, tastes, styles, preferences and favorites. One way to support and encourage your kids to be interested and involve in things is if you let them into the planning, buying and decorating furniture that they will use themselves, painted wardrobes are prime examples.
Kids can have so much fun personalizing their wardrobes. Their personalities and talents will undoubtedly shine through when you let them decorate or paint their wardrobes. They can draw on pieces of papers and have their designs transferred by a professional artist into the furniture. Or they can stick their favorite stickers and decals themselves or you can help them make picture collage of whatever it is that they are currently getting crazy about and help them set it up wherever they want to place it in their wardrobes furniture. This way since they are involved in the decoration of their kiddie wardrobes, they will have a sense of ownership and will take extra steps in caring for the furniture. They will also learn valuable lessons as they let their talents and skills manifest themselves and also about teamwork.
While coming up with the wardrobes design, style and dimension, ask your kids for inputs like the number of shelves they want to their preferred width of the hanging bar. You can also ask them about their colour or stain preference. They key here is that you involve them as much as possible in every aspect of wardrobes selection. Popular girls colours usually mean they end up picking pink wardrobes, whereas boys will go for painted wardrobes in either white or black.
If you are planning to buy their pink wardrobes in a store, let them tag along as you check through the hundreds of available wardrobes. If you are planning to buy the wardrobes from an online website, let them also browse through the pictures first. Guide them in choosing the best wardrobes for their age. Your kids may be excited about certain painted white or black wardrobes design but their choices maybe out of your budget, if this happen gently let them see how beautiful a more affordable wardrobe is by highlighting its uniqueness, style, functionality and kid friendly set-up. Steer them to see things your way especially when you really cannot afford their chosen wardrobes.
And once their wardrobes arrives in your house and are ready to use, let them help you hang their clothes, organize their clothes by types, and remind them to keep their wardrobes in tip top condition and to use it well. And give them leeway in case they want to decorate it with their favorite stuff.
