5 Stylish Yet Budget-Friendly Tips to Keep Your Child's Bedroom Interiors Updated

As a parent, you’ll be all too familiar with the fact that your children regularly change their minds about their favourite colour, animal, food and just about anything else! While this is all part of the fun of watching them discover and explore their own unique personality, for you, it can be a challenge.

If one week your little one is swooning over Peppa Pig and the next won’t watch anything but LazyTown, redecorating their bedroom to meet the most recent phase they're now interested in can be costly, and let’s face it, impractical. That’s why we’ve put together a list of 5 stylish, yet budget-friendly tips to help you make small changes in your kids’ bedrooms without the big impact on your bank account.

1. Refresh the Walls

The walls of any bedroom play a huge role in the sort of statement that space makes, and there’s plenty you can do to give them a simple refresh. Visit your local DIY stores for paint pot testers to create borders around light switches and sockets or frame wallpaper samples to create unique artwork. To really create an eye-catching feature, wall stickers for children’s bedrooms come in various designs and can be both colourful and educational. The best thing about these sorts of stickers is you can simply remove them when you decide it’s time for a new look, without causing any damage to the wall.

2. Update the Furnishings

While character bedding might be all the rage, it can also be very costly - particularly if your youngster wants the curtains, lamp and rug to match. With a little creative thinking, you could overhaul the room’s furnishings, without it needing to cost you too much. Shop around for fun logos and character transfers and use a little needlework to design your own duvet and pillows. Keep an eye out for sale bedding and buy rugs and throws out of season to enjoy bigger discounts. This way, you’ll have plenty of options when your child decides upon their next phase.

3. Display Artwork

Kids love nothing more than getting creative, so in an effort to cut back on costs while updating their bedroom design, why not get them involved? Whether you invest in some chalkboard paint and cover one wall in this to make writing on the walls a thing you actively encourage, or you take their sheets from craft time and hang them along a clothesline high up out of reach, use their own creations to breathe life back into the room.

4. Turn Toys into Trinkets

If you’re reluctant to splash out on themed accessories in an effort to ensure everything in your child’s room reflects their current obsession, then simply turning their toys into decorative trinkets could be the answer to your prayers. From figurines along the windowsill to cuddly toys on the bed, allow your little ones’ toys to become part of the decor. This way, when they suddenly decide unicorns are no longer cool and mermaids become the ‘in’ thing, you won’t need to splash out on new bedding, lighting, cushions and more, and can instead just switch up the toys you know you’ll be buying them anyway!

5. Create a Play Space

If you’re blessed with plenty of space, why not make the most of it by providing your children with a play area? From a sensory pit that can be hidden under the bed when not in use to a homemade tent using an old bedsheet, this part of the room could provide the perfect place for your children to get creative and let their imaginations run wild. 

So, if your child’s bedroom could do with an interior overhaul, hopefully, these 5 tips will be a springboard to get you started - keeping both the little ones and your pocket happy!
