Accessorize: Children’s Spaces
| October 26, 2021It makes perfect sense, and also requires somewhat of a more involved parenting approach. Imagine making bedtime rules all the same — how nice, how quick! Differentiating between each child’s needs requires a certain dimension of focus. It’s tough, but when I actually manage to pull off this philosophy in my parenting, it feels right.
When it came to having the privilege of decorating my girls’ rooms, I grappled between the ease of creating similar iterations per room, or giving them their “interior design independence.”
In the end, I narrowed down a few room schemes, and from that let my kids select which room they wanted. And although my goal was a few varied concepts, the result was different chapters in the same book. The good news? The design of their rooms feels individual, yet cohesive. Points for Mom!
I don’t regret taking this middle-of-the-road philosophy. In this issue, you’ll read expressions of whimsy straight from our children’s mouths, and realize that making the decisions for the young ones might not be the worst idea after all!
