How to decorate the tree house for your kids
Many kids love to hang out in tree houses as they find them cool and exciting. Therefore, with the right decorations, you will be fulfilling the dreams of your child. Here are a few ideas on how to have a wonderful tree house in your backyard:
1. Decorating the walls. Decide on how you will make the walls of the tree house attractive. Are you going to paint them or just leave them wooden. Depending on the color, paint can set the mood in the tree house, while wood gives a real natural feel. Further decorate the walls with canvas prints that feature their favorite sport or cartoon character.
2. Select the type of flooring. Do you want the floor to be carpeted or leave it wooden? Carpets can provide a cozy feeling while a wooden floor may provide a little den appearance of the tree house.
3. Do not forget to add windows. You can add windows of various styles and sizes, depending on you and your kid’s preferences. Windows also allow the entry of natural light.
4. Create interesting signs such as the name of your child or anything your kid likes.

8. Add power for the electronic devices you will be incorporating in the tree house.
