Decorating a child's room? Try ideas with fabrics

By BARBARA MAYER AP Newsfeatures For a low cost and imaginative child’s room, choose fabric solutions to decorating problems, according to interior designers. Lucretia Robertson, co-author with Donna Lang of “Decorating with Fabric,” advocates sewing the decorative touches in a child’s room. “You can make a major design statement without a lot of sewing by buying a sheet set and changing it to some extent,” says Miss Robertson. For their book, the authors, who are partners in an interior design business in Monte >, N.J., created a personalized pilii case with a standard case they down to fit a small pillow and pliqued with animal figures. Th Iso laced thin satin ribbon relet trim on a sheet and pillo\ se and personalized towels ith appliqued initials. Both women ar longtime home sewers and both ecall that their mothers sewed f. r them. “Even though you migh not choose to tackle your living i Him unless you are a great home sev 'r, kids’ rooms are a great place to v things out. Kids won’t complain the seams don’t match. They will i ve the fact that Mom or Dad did it r them,” adds Miss Robertson. “The most sensible de rating arrangement you can make is "> use long-lived colors, not baby colort, 'nr the basics such as walls and furniture and then to fill the room with fabric accessories that fit the age of the kid and that can be changed.” Selecting white furniture, for example, is a good solution. Then the child-related motifs can be introduced in fabric that is attractive but not too expensive. Although both designers advocate using natural fiber fabrics as a rule, they find that blends which include some synthetics require less maintenance. Fabrics such as stretch velours and terrycloth work well in infants’ rooms since these launder well. For children who are apt to

track in all kinds of dirt, soil-release finishes may be helpful. Cotton polyester blends are good since they, too, are machine washable and require little or no ironing. Miss Robertson is all for using ready-mades, but she says that printed sheets, as inexpensive and attractive as they are, present some problems for the home sewer. “We tend to stay away from sheets as a fabric because they are so often printed off-grain. You run into problems when you try to get a print to run straight.” Avoid stripes, she suggests. What can you sew for a child’s room? Virtually any type of window treatment, including shades, is her suggestion. For a child’s room, simplicity is important. A Roman shade or simple curtain with a valance make more sense than swags and jabots. Bed accessories include pillows, bedskirts, spreads, quilts and quilt covers. Dust ruffles are easy. An idea she calls a quickie is to take a basic camp blanket and applique your child’s name on it. “Kids respond positively to things that say who they are,” she says. Whether to choose hard or soft surface floor covering is primarily a comfort and care decision. Wall-to-wall carpeting is easy to maintain and comfortable under foot. Area rugs work well, too, especially if you have nice wood floors. Privacy may be a problem if you are outfitting a room for siblings to share. Dividers such as freestanding room screens can be used to break up the space, or you might opt to hang blinds from the ceiling. These can be lowered or raised as necessary. Be ready to consider the unconventional when it comes to furniture. For example, if space is tight, think about trundle beds or bunk beds. Often they can be separated into two floor-standing beds when more space presents itself.
