It’s never been easier to source beautiful, design-led decor and homewares for your kids. After all, their bedrooms should be a cute, colourful space that inspires their imagination and sends them to a sweet slumber.
Whether your child is a baby, toddler, a tween or a teen, a quick bedroom makeover can help transform their space into a personal sanctuary that reflects their unique interests, personality, and style.
A bedroom makeover is also a fun and rewarding project for you and your child to work on together, and it doesn’t have to break the bank.
In collaboration with Shop Your Home and Garden, read on for some budget-friendly ideas to transform your kid’s bedroom into a magical space and elevate your home’s interior design.
The best decor and and easy DIY tips for a kid’s bedroom makeover
1. Kid’s art prints
Alongside your kid’s creative art pieces, hang up some fun, imaginative prints to inspire and motivate them as they play, relax or study.
Curating a gallery wall is an easy, wallet-friendly way to integrate colour and patterns, which can easily be swapped and changed as your child grows up or discovers new interests.

2. Kid’s wallpaper
As children are naturally drawn to bright colours and playful designs, wallpaper is a great way to upgrade your kid’s bedroom or nursery into a magical, dreamy space.
We recommend using wallpaper on a feature wall, behind the bed or desk to create a focal point and tie in colours used throughout the room.
If you’re not keen on a long-term commitment or looking for a renter-friendly option, peel and stick wallpapers have risen in popularity and are easier to apply and remove than traditional wallpaper.

Another simple way to update your kid’s bedroom is through refreshing the sheets and bedding. Pick colours and prints that set the room’s tone, even using your choice of bedding to inspire new colour schemes and decor ideas.
