Wall Decal

Room Makeovers using wall decals, accessories and more

Once children grow up their bedroom needs to grow up a little, too. Children will develop many varied interests over the coming years, which often results in a room bursting with toys, books, clothes, sports equipment, hobbies, music and so on. Room makeovers need not be something to dread. Ask your child to get involved, if you make it fun they will be happy to help out. A quick hint - for decorating walls use wall decals rather than wallpaper. They're fun and easy to use and inexpensive too.

Here are our top tips for easy expansion.

Start with practical storage and an organised space. Have a good clearout of anything they have grown out of – this includes clothes, toys and books – and start with an empty room. This makes room makeovers easier and gives you the space to think clearly.

Do they need more shelving or covered storage? Does the existing furniture meet the needs of your child? Do they need a bigger bed or a desk for schoolwork? You may not have needed a wardrobe until now, but would a canvas clothes rail come in handy? And what about a spare bed for friends to sleep over? It doesn't need to be an expensive purchase - think about a pullout chair bed or inflatable bed that can be stowed away when not in use. For great room makeover ideas, try toytidy.com who stock a range of toy storage, desks and furniture.

Talk to your children about whether they'd like to change the look of their walls. A fresh lick of paint is an option; though for a cheap and easy solution of creating a fresh new look, wall decals are a hot favourite at the moment. There are an extensive range of wall decals available, including themes for boys and girls. FunToSee.com has removable and re-stickable wall decals for kids rooms. They can be applied to walls, doors and furniture and cleanly removed and re-stuck if you wish to reposition the wall decal.

Girls may require a dressing table with mirror and drawers for hair accessories and trinkets, while boys will need plenty of baskets and buckets for general storage. You'll find an adorable range of room accessories at Great Little Trading Company. Visit Gltc.co.uk to see their collection. If you decide to go for a plain dressing table or wooden boxes you can use wall decals to add a personal touch of colour to them. Choose from shaped wall decals like hearts, dots and stars.

Encourage children to tidy up after themselves by installing a pop-up laundry bin in their room then ask them to tell you when it's full. It will give them a sense of independence and you could always prompt them if you know it's full. Linenstore.co.uk have laundry baskets to match bedding.

Bold patterns for duvets will also take them one step away from pre-school character sets. Complete the look with carefully chosen accessories.

Room makeovers don't have to cost the earth - you don't need to splash out if budget is limited. Simply changing the position of the furniture and sticking some wall decals on walls and furniture can give the room a whole new look.
