Looking to redecorate your kids’ bedroom but don’t know where to start? From unique furniture and decor to paint and storage ideas, we’ve got you covered!

Kids Bedroom - Teepee

Kids' bedrooms should be fun, functional and full of personality. With the right bedroom furniture, storage, paint and accessories, you can transform any room from drab to fab - without breaking the bank!

Whether you’re starting from scratch or just adding some new decor, here are 12 kids' bedroom ideas we’re sure your children will love…

1. Glow-in-the-dark bunk bed

Make bedtime more exciting with a glow-in-the-dark bunk bed. Not only do the light strips make climbing to bed safer once lights are out, but they also add a magical glow to the room that’ll help your kids drift off into a deep slumber.

 

2. Themed sheets

Fun bed sheets are an easy way to make bedtime more enticing, especially if they’re themed around your kids' hobbies and interests. From dinosaurs and princesses to space and superheroes, there are lots of options that can easily be swapped out as your kids' tastes change.

 

3. LED light strips

LED light strips are great for adding ambience to your kids’ bedroom. Installed under beds, along shelves or behind headboards, they create a soft glow that doubles as a night light. And because you can adjust the colours, your kids can set the mood for play or sleep.

 

4. Painted headboard

A painted headboard is a creative alternative to a traditional bed frame. Whether you opt for a simple arch, scalloped edges or a bold geometric design, painting directly onto the wall adds personality without taking up extra space.

 

5. Colourful bed frame

If you want to add a pop of colour to your kids’ bedroom, why not try a colourful bed frame? If you can’t find the colour you’re looking for, painting it yourself is an affordable way to add a design feature your little ones will love.

 

6. Toy hammock

Kids Bedroom - Toy Hammock

Hung in a corner or above the bed, toy hammocks provide an easy storage solution for soft toys while keeping them visible and accessible. Not only is it a fun alternative to shelving, but it makes use of vertical space so your kids have more room to play.

 

7. Playful rug

Playful rugs are a great way to add personality to a room without committing to a specific paint colour. Bonus points if the pattern is something your kids love, like football or fairies! Rugs also add warmth and comfort, making them ideal for kids who like to sit or play on the floor.

 

8. Teepee tent

There’s nothing more fun than a den, so why not surprise your kids with their very own teepee? Decorate the tent with fairy lights, bunting, blankets and cuddly toys to create a cosy space for reading or playing.

 

9. Foam ball pit

Not only do foam ball pits look the part, but they also double as a sensory play area that’s guaranteed to keep your kids entertained for hours. Although we don’t envy whoever is tasked with clearing up after playtime…

 

10. Feature wall

Keep costs to a minimum by focusing on one feature wall that makes a statement without overwhelming the room. Wallpaper, murals, decals or bold paint colours are all great options your kids will love.

 

11. Colourful ceiling

Don’t forget about the fifth wall! A colourful ceiling adds an unexpected twist and makes a bedroom feel more playful. It also has a cocooning effect that will make your kids feel safe and cosy as they drift off to sleep.

 

12. Blackboard wall

Kids Bedroom - Blackboard Wall

A blackboard wall encourages creativity and gives kids a space to draw, write and doodle freely. Not only does it save a lot of paper, but it’s a low-effort way to add interest to your kids’ bedroom. And best of all, it keeps unwanted drawings off walls and furniture!
