Looking to revamp your child’s bedroom without breaking the bank? You don’t need a big budget to create a space your little ones will adore. There are plenty of affordable options out there to give a fresh new look to a child’s room. Take a look at some of our suggestions below.
Wall decoration
Let’s begin with the bare bones of the bedroom. Bare walls make a bedroom look boring, so add little touches to brighten things up. An easy way to start lifting the look of the room is to add colour to the wall using peel-and-stick wall decals or some new curtains.
If you are the crafty type, take this opportunity to stop by a fabric store with your child. Pick out a fun pattern and make your own custom curtains. Draw or trace interesting shapes onto freezer paper from the grocery store to create homemade stencils, and paint interesting patterns on the walls. No other child will have a room like it!
Décor
Décor can add personality to a room. Get creative when it comes to storage options for your child’s room. This will both add color, and keep their room tidy. Try some of these to add colour to the room at an affordable price:
- Colourful toy boxes
- Homemade pencil tins and art supply organizers
- Wall caddy organisers – interesting designs
- Storage bins
- Bean bags – comfortable to sit on and easy to store in the corner of the room
- Bright cushions
- Book ends
- Cork boards – build a collage together!
- Hanging mobiles
Manchester
Another quick and easy way to freshen up any bedroom is with new sheets and blankets. When you add new bedclothes to the bed you instantly change the feel of the room. Select a fun pattern, or pick a complimentary color to the walls of the room. This is another instance where sewing machine savvy might come in handy. Take a bit of time and make a duvet cover to match those homemade curtains. No other kid with have one like it!
Lighting
Search the department stores for a themed lamp that compliments the overall theme of the room. Big box department stores and children’s toy stores have so many options.
Clock
Make sure that your kid is always on time. Add a themed wall clock to add to the décor in the room. Like themed lamps, many department stores and children’s toy stores carry inexpensive themed clocks in a variety of designs. Putting a clock in your child’s room will also encourage them to learn how to tell the time!
