SPILLING SECRETS

Before designing your children's room, ensure you follow these five design principles for a happy and healthy child

- ROMILLA JANDWANI

Early childhood years (0-8 years) are characterised by children actively learning through their environments, therefore their personal space or room plays an important role. Conceptual learning, learning by doing, learning through experiences, pretend play-all aspects of modern-day education are empowered by the spaces children spend so much of their time in, so make sure your child's space encourages his imagination and sense of wonder.

1. Play with Colour

Design and colour play an important part in the stimulation of a child's mind. Use the walls that are available to you as a canvas to play with colours and themes with wallpapers, wall decals, canvas, or even paint.
