Decorate your child's room with style!

All of these rooms are in Dan Ryan homes!

I was looking at the Dan Ryan pinterest page today, and I was inspired by our "For the Kids!" board. It showcases some of our favorite decorating ideas for kid's rooms as well as adorable products to buy for your little one! Anyways, I got to thinking about how much time and effort people put into their kid's room when they move to a new home. Usually, the child's room is the first to get painted and decorated (kids are not the most patient creatures, after all). So why not make it a fun place your kids will want to go to?

HGTV gives us 10 tips to make your child's room beautiful and functional. Here are some of my favorites:

1.) Most craft and hobby stores sell an additive to paint that allows it to glow in the dark. Try painting stars and a moon on your child's ceiling or a cityscape around the edge of the room. This will get them excited about turning out the lights at night.

2.) If you are painting a dresser or other furniture you know the child will grow out of be sure to let them help. The child could also put their signature on it with personal hand prints or fingerprints for a polka-dot design.

3.)  Kids are collectors, so make collecting easy. Pictures and postcards don't always have to be stuck to a cork board. Try hanging them from strings in front of a window or clipping them to a string along the wall to create an interactive border in a room.

4.)  To help your kids stay organized, keep things at their height. Closet storage, benches and coat racks will all be used more often if kids can get to them easily.
