The fun thing is that as the child grows older, he can help make choices about how he wants the room to look. Instead of the baby wall art stencils stuck on the wall, he might prefer a new paint in one of the base colors. Keeping it in a neutral and soft tome will allow you to have the same color for a while. It will also be easier to repaint it a darker color later on. Changing the accents and accessories will do a lot in creating a more ‘adult’ look for the child ready to go to school.

This is probably a good time to incorporate a theme that the child has learned to love. He may have started a collection of something – miniature vehicles, stuffed animals or sea shells and stone from the beach. Let this be an inspiration for the kind of décor that you can integrate in the room. Your objective is to make the room not only a place to relax and play but also a place where he can develop his interests.
