3 Decorating Ideas Your Kids Will Love
April 16, 2026
Kids, these are for you!
1. A magnetic paint primer with a chalkboard paint top coat. This way you can write on the wall or endlessly rearrange posters and pages torn from magazines. And as you see below, thanks to Martha Stewart, any color paint can be chalkboard paint. Scotch tape and masking tape can pull the paper face off of drywall causing all kinds of problems.

2. Check out LoveSacs, 1 and 2 seaters. Much to my chagrin and my teenagers’ delight, our Sac is a great seat to play Nintendo or bed for a wayward couch surfer. I did put my foot down at the fluffy “Snow Leopard” cover, but opted for a conservative tan suede one instead. So our Sac looks like a giant rock. Who was I kidding?

3. Mom, keep the professional decorators out of this room, and let your teens pick their own furniture, paint colors, bed spreads etc. As long as it’s safe in there, let them work with you on a budget, make their selections and live with the consequences. How else will they take control of ever bigger decisions, unless they practice at home? And maybe they’ll have enough pride in the finished project to keep it picked up!
