We’ve gathered some inspiring ideas in this blog to assist you in creating a workstation that not only increases your child’s productivity but also shows their individuality. Say goodbye to dull study spaces and hello to a fun, stimulating and productive study space for your kid!

6 Exciting Ideas to Create a Productive Study Space for Kids

1 – Add a Unique Desk to the Room

Adding a study table to your child’s bedroom is a terrific idea to establish dedicated work space. Providing a designated area to store books, stationery, and other study-related goods, also aids in maintaining a clutter-free environment. Several study tables might fit your needs and budget, from basic and practical to chic and contemporary.  So, go ahead and create a bedroom room with a study table to improve the productivity of the space.

2 – Make the Room Colourful

Your kid’s room’s appearance and atmosphere can be greatly improved by adding a splash of colour. You can select a colour scheme that matches your particular preferences and style, whether they are for a bold and colourful palette or a more sombre and peaceful one. One innovative way to add colour to a child’s workplace is colourful wall tiles. Choose a combination of bold and calming colours, arrange them in patterns, or use a vivid accent wall to grab attention to a particular area. The colorful wall tiles will enhance the beautiful workplace, which will help to encourage your child’s imagination and enthusiasm for studying. Additionally, you can combine various hues and designs to produce a distinctive and eclectic atmosphere. Adding throw cushions, carpets, or drapes with vibrant patterns may give the room a little more colour.

3 – Add Plants to Your Decor

In addition to providing a natural and aesthetic appeal, plants provide many health advantages, including enhancing mood, lowering stress levels, and increasing air quality. Choose from a range of indoor plants, such as snake plants, peace lilies, or spider plants, that are suitable for your child’s room’s lighting and humidity levels. A few potted plants or a hanging plant may instantly change the atmosphere of your area and make it feel livelier and more inviting.

4 – Make the Best Use of Natural Light

One of the best ways to improve the look and feel of your child’s room is by letting more natural light in. The ideal way to utilise natural light in a room is to position the bed or desk near a window. Take-down any thick drapes or blinds, and replace them with thin curtains that let more light in. In addition to illuminating your space, natural light can also improve your mood and help you sleep better.

5 – Include Lamps of Different Shapes and Sizes

Lamps enhance the mood of the room in addition to serving a practical purpose. Table lamps, floor lamps, and hanging lamps are just a few of the different lamp styles you can select from to match the look and decor of your child’s room. Dimmable lamps or smart bulbs are other options if you want to change the illumination to suit your preferences.

6 – Make it a Fun and Inspiring Space

To ensure that kids enjoy studying and remain productive, it is crucial to create a pleasant and inspiring workspace for them. Including elements like a bean bag chair, TeePee tent, a vibrant rug, or some indoor plants can significantly alter the workspace’s ambience. A warm and inviting environment that is beneficial to learning and can make your youngster feel at ease and motivated is created by the addition of such elements. 

Additionally, you can think about using colourful tiles for the flooring. They can be both aesthetically pleasing and offer a tough surface. You can make your child’s space feel like a joyful and inviting location; where they can concentrate on their studies and achieve their academic goals by including playful and vibrant design elements.

Conclusion

In conclusion, making your child’s bedroom into a study refuge can be enjoyable and rewarding. You may support your child’s ability to focus and be productive by introducing personalised touches; making the most of natural light, and setting up an organised workstation. There are many fun ways to encourage your child’s creativity and improve their educational experience; whether it’s a comfortable reading corner, a vibrant desk arrangement, or a motivational bulletin board. Start designing, then watch as your kid’s output soars!

Everyone’s favorite time of the year is around the corner and holiday preparations have just begun. It’s time to revamp your living space to make it cozy and welcoming for the winters. Luckily, you don’t need to break the bank to make your home ideally warm and festive for the holidays. You probably have a bunch of usable stuff in your attic or storeroom that can be put to good use. Other than that, it is the perfect excuse to indulge in some Christmas shopping. Staying in will seem like a treat when you implement these easy and creative tips:

1- Winter themed Rugs and Throw Pillows

Time to roll out your thickest carpets, rugs, and mats in the house and get rid of those cold feet. Swap your summer throw pillows with more winter-appropriate ones. My top picks are velvet and plush; I also love the contemporary ones with winter-themed quotes or text. Choose dark, warm, and earth tones to create the perfect ambiance.

2- Candles for Holidays

Candlelight can instantly make a room look cozy and romantic. You can buy candles in all the holiday colors, i.e. red, green, white, and yellow/gold to add a pop of color to your interior. It’s best to choose scentless candles for the dinner table, but scented candles are great for creating that cozy vibe around other parts of the house. Pumpkin spice, vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa butter, and sandalwood are some popular scents for winter feels.

3- Hot Beverage Bar

Coffee and hot chocolate are everything when it’s freezing inside, but you want to feel alive. Setting up a hot beverage bar in the living room will improve convenience and help everyone stay warm; you can make it as fancy as you like. You may include personal favorites to the bar, such as apple cider, spicy mulled wine, chai, and an assortment of teas.

4- Decorate Doors and Entryways

Bringing some natural elements indoors is a great way to develop a fresh and rustic atmosphere. A few potted plants here and there, as well as one or more real Christmas trees, look amazing. Drape your doors and entryways with warm fairy lights and artificial greens to magnify the coziness.

5- Festive Art for Holidays

If you and your family have a flair for art, change up the artifacts displayed around the house to compliment the holiday spirit. You can have an arts and crafts session at home to personalize your space for the season. You may cut out glittery snowflakes, put up photos from past Christmases, or perhaps do a painting that captures a picture-perfect winter moment.

6- Fuzzy Fabrics

You’re not the only one who needs an extra layer or two to survive the winters. Adding some warm and fuzzy fabrics to the bare surfaces around the home is a wonderful idea. Swap your regular curtains and bed linens with something snug and chunkier. Add blankets to your furniture and bring out the winter-themed table mats, runners, napkins, etc.

7- Warm Lighting

Adjust the lighting around the house to fit the cozy theme. You may also swap the lampshades with a winter-friendly material. The small things count and make a big difference. Warm and mellow light lamps at the corners produce very nice visual effects.

8- Christmas Decorations

Garlands, knitted stockings, shiny ornaments, and other Christmas-special decorations shall encourage a jolly and heartwarming mood. Don’t hold back while decorating your Christmas tree and don’t leave any portion of the house void of the holiday joy.

9- Accentuate the Fireplace

A traditional fireplace with burning logs and fiery flames is aesthetically pleasing and comforting on every cold winter evening. However, many modern alternatives are also available that look and feel just as good.

10- Add a Furry Family member

Hugs and cuddles from furry family members are the best things in winters. If you already have an adorable pet, perhaps it is time to get them an animal companion. There are so many domestic cats and dogs looking for warm and loving homes, so bring some happiness in theirs and your own life this season.

This year we gifted our son a room of his own where he could play, read and do his online classes. We had this room which we called a ‘study’ but we hardly used it. So, we thought of giving it a makeover. In this post, I will share how we managed to do our Kid’s Room Makeover on a Budget. And, along with that, I will also share a few DIY Decor Ideas with you all.

Hello friends! How are you all doing? The new month is here and with that, we enter the last quarter of this year. I am quite excited as this is my husband’s birthday month too and looking forward to a month full of festivities and cheer. Just hoping that the Corona stays away now and lets us enjoy without any fear.

I hope you are enjoying reading our posts. Thanks for all your love!

The Joy of Decorating the House

We live in a rented apartment and that takes away the fun of decorating the house the way we want to. There are so many restrictions that I lose interest to do anything exciting with the home decor. Also, we never know when we may have to move to another place so really can’t invest a lot in it. But I love doing makeovers and it’s not easy to keep away from the joy I get when I decorate my house. It’s the personal touch we add to the house that makes it more like a home, isn’t it?

So, I look for ideas where I can give a new and refreshing look to the dull area by just making a few changes and without investing a lot of money.

A couple of years back I wrote about how we gave our boring balcony a makeover and turned it into an interesting balcony garden. You may watch the video below. And, for reading the post, click here!

Kid’s Room Makeover on a Budget

Last year when the Kindergarten online classes began in April, we tried to make the process of homeschooling easy for our son, Nemit. We wanted him to do his class in the study room but he was not comfortable there and kept running out of the room. So, we shifted Nemit’s study table in the living room, he instantly adjusted to the new setting. Hence, we converted a part of our living area into a homeschool classroom.

This year, Nemit got promoted to Grade 1 and we wanted to do something special for him. So, we decided to give our study room a makeover and convert it into a study + playroom solely for our little one. The room was anyhow turning into a storeroom and was too dull and cluttered and badly needed a makeover.

This is how the room looked before the makeover. It was cluttered and untidy and looked dull and dark due to all the mess around.

BEFORE

Challenges for Kid’s Room Makeover

1. Make space
2. Declutter
3. Reuse & Repurpose

A kid’s room without any space makes no sense to me. But, clearly, decluttering was a challenge. Another challenge was the budget, we had to keep it low so we had to repurpose and reuse the things we already had with us.

Things to do

We made a to-do list before starting the makeover. It gave us an idea of what all needs to be done and how much time we will need.

1. Declutter the Room
2. Repurpose and Reuse the Baby Cot
3. Make space for play area
4. Re-arrange the Art & Craft Supply
5. Find a Rack for Toy Storage
6. Make a Reading Nook/Corner
7. Place the Study Table & Whiteboard
8. Place a Rug (the only thing we bought)

You may check out this post where I shared how we Repurposed the Baby Cot and made it into a Reading Nook for our son. I have also shared how we made a DIY Bookshelf out of old Cardboard boxes.

We also repurposed our old shoe rack and used it for toy storage. We already had colourful storage boxes, just needed a place to keep them safe and easily accessible.

I tried another DIY idea for the photo frames that were already there in the room. I wanted to change a few pictures to make it look more suitable for a kid’s room.

So, I downloaded some free printables from Pinterest, took the printout on the A4 sheet, and put those in the photo frames. I also tried creating one myself using Canva, it looked really good.

We just bought a new rug for the room from Amazon. I’ll put links for the rug, photo frames, and wall shelves at the end of the post.

Here, I am attaching the video of the room makeover below. You will also find all the details of the DIYs we did for the room in the video. Check it out-

If we look carefully we can find so many ways to reuse and repurpose things instead of just throwing them away. I hope you liked the kid’s room makeover and DIY decor ideas. That’s all for today!

See you next time. Take care.

Will you believe if I tell you that we had zero plants in our home until 2 months back? Yes, none! And, today our home is full of green plants and finally, we also have a balcony garden.

How did that change happen?

Just a small realization, we travel and look out for places that are green and full of life. We love to spend time amidst nature so thought why not put some extra effort & bring nature inside our home. Taking that first step was extremely difficult for me because plants need love & care just like little kids. Glad we took that first step & now we’re doing so much better.

We are still learning & wish to add more & more greenery around us.

PIN IT!

So, here I am sharing the 5 simple steps in which we created our Balcony Garden from scratch. I hope it inspires you to bring more greenery inside your home too-

Things you will require-

1. Artificial grass (this is optional, you can also use carpet)
2. Plants (lots & lots of plants of your choice)
3. Wall decor items (we used paintings, mirrors & lanterns)
4. Mattress & cushions (you can skip the mattress if you don’t have one)

STEP 1- Wall Decor using DIY planters

Initially, we put the artificial grass on the floor & then went on to drill the holes on the wall to put hangings. But we soon realized our mistake, removed the grass and moved on to wall decor. Since we have 2 walls we decided to put some DIY bottle planters on one wall and use other decor items on the other wall.

DIY Plastic Bottle Planters

These bottle planters are easy to make and are a great way to upcycle single-use plastic bottles. And these give a fun quirky look to the wall. If you have less space in the balcony to put potted plants then it is definitely the best way to add greenery to your small garden.

STEP 2- Wall Decor using paintings, mirrors & lanterns

We used a set of 3 paintings & a set of 2 round mirrors to decorate the second wall. I had one big bottle planter which I used on the top wall and tea light lanterns on the side to complete the look.

I bought all these decor pieces from Amazon during the Great Indian Festival Sale. Here are the links, in case you want to buy the same decor items-

STEP 3- Place artificial grass on the floor

Now we cleaned the floor and placed the artificial grass, it instantly added to the garden feel. This grass is available online too but we were not sure about the quality so we got it from a local store.

Artificial grass

This grass is easy to maintain, you may use a wet cloth to wipe it once a week to keep it dust-free. I prefer washing with water once every 2-3 months since we don’t get much dust. It has small holes on the bottom so the water easily seeps out.

Price – Rs 50 per sqft.

STEP 4- Add more plants in the balcony garden

The next step is to add more plants onto the floor. The more plants, the more lively the area will look. Since we have a really small area, we put only 3 large pots on one side, 2 medium size pots on the opposite side. And, placed a bamboo rack in one corner with some 6-7 small pots on it.

Small Plants

More plants

STEP 5- Make a cozy sitting corner

Now, the final step is to make a cozy sitting corner in your balcony garden. You can either put some chairs if you have more space or create a floor seating as we did by using our son’s old cot mattress.

This balcony garden has become our most favorite place in the house and our mornings usually start with spending some time here together.

Hello everyone! Today I would be talking about how we neglect the power of gifting and how it can completely change every relationship which you have in your life! Let’s talk about the art of giving with PortraitFlip.

Imagine! How it felt the last time you gave a gift to your special person, it might be anyone your parents, spouse, children, or friends.

Wasn’t it mesmerizing and fulfilling?

A research suggests that,

“The happiness you get from unwrapping a gift is temporary, but giving provides a more self-fulfilling experience that lasts for a long period of time.”

At times, we all feel that we took our family members for granted and did something which might have hurt them. You feel bad about it and also are unable to get that thought to its end due to your busy life.

How about you take some time out right now and get gifts for the people who really matter and who really care about how successful you become in life!

It could be as simple as a letter or as fancy as a painting!

Yes, you read it right! A Painting.

You see when it comes to gifting, you must give something which has a thought behind it instead of buying the next cool gadget on the web.

When you spend a thought and land up on that one specific thing which the receiver would like it’s a Eureka moment!

When your dear ones receive the present, they understand how important they are in your life and are filled with joy and love towards their life, which is why you should consider something thoughtful like a painting from photo or something else which suits the receiver.

The moment when your dear ones unwrap and find their painting becomes very special and will be remembered for the whole life!

What Photos Could You Get A Painting Of using PortraitFlip?

It completely depends upon the receiver,
