Your child’s bedroom should be a haven where they can play, relax and learn. Every parent wants their child to have a stylish bedroom, but keeping up with the ever-changing trends can be difficult – and expensive! The good news is that there are heaps of low-cost ways to add the wow factor to your child’s bedroom, without blowing your budget. Some simple decorating and creativity can instantly upgrade your little one’s room and enhance the appeal and functionality of their bedroom space. To inspire you, here are some of our favourite ways to give your child’s bedroom the wow factor.
Design a striking feature wall
Repainting the walls or installing wallpaper is one of the most effective ways to revitalise your child’s room and add a sense of style. That said, decorating every wall can be time-consuming and costly. The good news is that you can easily achieve the same effect by creating a striking feature wall. Try to choose the wall that is the most prominent, i.e., the one directly opposite the door. One of the major benefits of a feature wall is that it gives you the freedom to experiment with bold colours and patterns. If you have an artistic streak, then you could even try painting or stencilling a wall mural. Creating a personalised wall mural can truly give your child’s room the wow factor and inject some personality into the room design. Wall stickers and removable wallpaper can also be used to design an eye-catching feature wall, without the need to paint or install wallpaper.
Get creative with storage
Your child’s bedroom is not going to have the wow factor (not for the right reasons anyway) if there are toys and belongings strewn all across the floor. Keeping their room neat and tidy helps children learn to take good care of their belongings and teaches them the importance of responsibility. It also means that you don’t have to look at a messy, cluttered bedroom every day! You can encourage your little ones to keep their bedroom space tidy by providing lots of storage space. You can even use storage to create a stylish focal point in their room, i.e., a large treasure chest can be used to store away toys when they are not being used. Or you could paint an old bookcase in a quirky design to provide a space for your children to store their books and belongings. Upcycling is a fantastic way to save money and help the environment by reducing waste. It will also allow you to create unique, customised items for your child’s room.
