Kids spend a lot of time in their bedrooms, particularly when they get a bit older, so you will inevitably want to change things up a bit once in a while to make it more age-appropriate. So, if you fancy using some of your DIY decorating skills and are looking for inspiration – keep reading.
Here are 4 fabulous makeover ideas for a child’s bedroom.
Pick a theme
Theming a room is particularly good if your children are younger and have a favorite TV character or toy that they like to play with.
If, for example, your kids like Lego, then why not transform their room into an interactive space where they can play, as well as sleep. Create drawer handles made of Lego bricks, add shelves so they can display some of their most treasured creations, and if you want to take it a step further, add base plates to one wall so they will never be short of space to create.
The possibilities are endless where a themed bedroom is concerned.
A place for sleepovers
If your kids enjoy having friends’ round and like having the occasional sleepover, it makes sense to have space for them to sleep or hang out. If floor space isn’t an issue, why not jazz up a tent with lights, bunting, and lots of comfy cushions and create a magical retreat.
If there isn’t enough room for extra beds, you can’t go wrong with bunk beds or, if you fancy something multi-functional, why not buy a small sleeper sofa?
Storage
If your children are still of an age where they play with toys, then, unless you have a playroom, storage will likely be a priority.
You can’t go wrong with Kallax units from Ikea, which consists of simple cubed storage units which come with a selection of compatible drawers, doors, and boxes to choose from. Not only are they fabulous for storing toys and other bits and pieces, but they look great too.
If you prefer not to buy additional pieces of furniture but have a decent-sized bedroom cupboard but aren’t making full use of the space, consider having someone design and produce a walk-in toy storage area with built-in drawers and shelves.
Get creative with wall paint
One of the cheapest and easiest ways to give a kid’s bedroom a makeover is to use paint. It may sound boring, but it provides you with a range of options.
Use paint sample pots and frog tapes to create a wall with dimension or, if you have a bit of artistic flair, you could even paint a mural on one wall. Another option is to use glow-in-the-dark paint and create a starry scene on an otherwise boring ceiling.
Conclusion
Jazzing up a kid’s room is always an exciting time for them, so even if you have loads of ideas, it’s always good to ask them what they would like and get some feedback. If they are old enough, they might even help with the transformation!
