Little ones in the family are a blessing and giving them a personalized place to call their own is a great place to start at making them feel special. Over time however, your young one will grow, which means that their personal space might need a little updating. That doesn’t mean that the projects have to be difficult or cost a fortune for it to look great. Here are some easy and affordable ways to update your kid’s room.
(1)Â Give it a fresh coat. Of paint, that is. Adding or changing is one of the easiest and affordable ways to give a room an update. And don’t just stop at the walls. Paint can give an update to things such as chairs, dressers, headboards and doors as well. This alone can brighten up any kid’s room.
(2)Â Bust out your sewing machine. There’s no need to replace chair cushions and throw pillows, or buy expensive bedding and window treatments, if you’re handy with a sewing machine. Head to your local fabric store, or shop online for trendy, graphic patterns that your kid will love. Not only will your son or daughter get a favorite pattern, it’ll be extra special because you made it. While you’re at it, don’t forget about the headboard. Creating a fabric-covered headboard is easy to do and will make the bed look complete. You can even go one step further and add a canopy to give the room a whimsical feel.
(3)Â Add handmade touches. A sewing machine might get a big job done quickly, but those little details require a steady and creative hand. Make and print your own graphics for framing, make mobiles out of tissue paper poms, or stencil wall words, to give your kid’s room some extra pizzazz. If you’re short on ideas, take a gander at Pinterest for inspiration.
(4)Â Â Become acquainted with Etsy. If you aren’t yet familiar with Etsy.com, it’s worth checking out for hidden gems. Etsy is an e-commerce website where sellers can have personal storefronts to display their products for purchase. There is a wide range of items for sale, including items that are great for bedrooms. Custom made products will make the room feel special and look unique.
As you can see, updating your kid’s room doesn’t have to be an expensive or time-consuming project. Sometimes, it’s the personal touches that matter the most anyway. While these are just some of the many affordable updates you can do, these should get you started in the right direction.
