Hassle-Free Kids Bedroom Makeover Tips


As parents, we know all too well how fast a child can change his or her mind. Toys they love one week are discarded a week later, in favor of something newer and cooler. On the same token, a child can grow tired of his or her bedroom set up. This is why updating the look of your kids bedroom from time to time is a good idea.


From rearranging the position of your kids bed and updating the bedding to throwing up some wall decorations, here are some hassle-free bedroom makeover tips that are sure to keep your kids happy.


Beddy Good: If you're child has outgrown his or her bed, then investing in a new one isn't a bad idea. A car-shaped bed could be a fun addition to your kids' bedroom. Other good alternatives include a captain's bed or a bed with a bookcase headboard. These beds are both fun and functional, providing extra storage space that you likely didn't have before.


If you don't want to get a new bed, try rearranging the bed's position for a nice change of scene. Lofted bunk beds are great for kids and often come with optional desks and storage that can be added underneath the bed.


For a quick and easy change, consider updating your kids bedding. A new comforter or bed-in-a-bag set with your kids' favorite cartoon character is a great way to freshen things up. Throw on some matching accent pillows and stuffed animals for some additional fun.


Finishing Touches: If you don't want to bother with changing the furniture, by adding a fresh coat of paint, some wall art, a new rug, or maybe a new lamp - you have the ability to really transform the space without much incurring much cost.



  • Change of Color: Freshen up the kids' space with a fresh coat of paint. Get your kids involved by having them help choose the paint color! Look for non-toxic low VOC or zero VOC paint to minimize harmful fumes in your kids bedroom.


  • Extra Padding: Area rugs are great for a kids room. Whether you want to go the educational route with a rug showing the solar system or the fun route with a Princess-themed area rug - area rugs are a great way to add some color to the room. Placing an area rug beside the bed is also a good idea in case your child falls out during the night.


  • Light Bright: Adding a fun lamp or night light to your kids bedroom is definitely a bright idea. Disney Lamps, Sports-themed lamps, or animal lamps all add a little bit of style and humor to your kids space. A fun night light will give your child an added sense of security, ensuring that he gets a good nightmare-free night's sleep.


Making over your kids bedroom doesn't have to be a big deal. A few small changes will keep your child happy while keeping costs down.
