Parents are often left without a clue when it comes to decorating their children's bedrooms. Phases and fads come and go so quickly it is impossible to keep up. One minute they are crazy about the biggest TV show on Disney channel and then the next they are completely over it. A cheap and creative way to have their room reflect their personality is to use your kids' bedding to do it.
Linen stores all around the world have realized the marketability behind trends and fads with children. A television character becomes popular and overnight you will be able to purchase any item branded with that character. This holds true for linens as well and you will be able to find all sorts of characters and celebrities emblazoned on duvet covers and pillow cases.
Whereas it would be expensive to keep purchasing new clothing, toys and other gadgets that have been branded, you can appease your children by offering room makeovers every time they change their passion. It is much cheaper to replace a duvet cover and pillow case than it is to replace an entire collection of expensive items.
If you are on a budget then this is definitely the way to go. Any parent would want to see their child happy and using bed linens as a way to decorate their room with their favorite character or celebrity is a great and inexpensive way to do that.
You can even take this a step further and instead of buying branded linens, talk to your child about a theme and be more creative. For instance, Hannah Montana is a television child rock star, so you could perhaps look at colors that depict her character and story instead of buying something with her face on it.
This will save you even more money in the long run because you'll be buying regular duvet covers and pillow cases but in specific rock star colors and patterns. Your child will easily be able to associate the two and will be just as happy with it if not more so.
Add little touches like fake fur trim and sparkles to give it that star quality feel and you won't be looking back. The same goes for any major television show or character; involve your child in a brainstorming session and think of new and fun ways to theme their bedroom using that as a basis for your ideas.
A child will not be able to grow up with a Teletubbies duvet cover but if it were blue and green perhaps with a matching pillow case then that's a different story. So your money goes further than it would have and you didn't have to break the bank in the first place.
There are a myriad ways in which you could use your kids' bedding as a way to add life and fun to their bedrooms and you won't have to spend a lot of money to do it either. Simply spend some time to think about different, fun bedding ideas and let your imagination go.
