I see what you do not see! How to turn your child's room into an adventure land

No school can teach what children experience through their environment: the sense of good and beauty - and imagination!

It dawns beautiful

Listening to the "wind in the willows" in bed, following the dancing mobile with your eyes or daydreaming in the reading chair with your eyes open - kids are pros when it comes to the art of creative idleness. Therefore, pay attention not only to the quiet zones, but also to those places that are in the view of the little dreamer. Instead of the wall, wallpaper the ceiling, perhaps with a star pattern, animals or fairytale landscapes. The favorite toy on the wall*,* music boxes or jumping jacks sweeten the minutes before falling asleep.

Forever and ever

Julian Schnabel's children share a small table by Frank Lloyd Wright as a bedside table. Not suitable for children? On the contrary. Invest in a classic or two that will see your offspring through life. Why shouldn't a Mid-century dresser with overlay serve as a temporary changing table? Furniture from the 50s in particular is wonderfully suited for the nursery due to its small format and organic shape (usually with rounded corners).

Imaginative

Nothing is more exposed to children's creative urge than their own four walls. So paint one of them with chalkboard paint (from Colorfarbe, for example) or panel an entire wall with corkboard - a perfect backdrop for traveling exhibitions and children's rapidly changing interests. If you haven't already commissioned your little ones to create a large-scale work of art, you can get active yourself: Cut animal silhouettes out of wallpaper and turn the kids' room into a zoo. Even on the floor (after all, this is where most of the action takes place), you can stencil carpets or skins to create tuff sheep, plush tigers or ponies.
