Do you need to decorate your kids’ room but are a bit tight on cash? You’re not alone! Many parents struggle when it comes to refurnishing a bedroom, and many are looking for the cheapest way to give their kids the bedroom they deserve at a fraction of the cost. 

Here, you’ll be given some money-saving tips on decorating a kids’ bedroom, so enjoy!

Get A Bed With A Mattress

Many parents are tempted to buy the bed frame and the mattress for their kids’ room separately. However, this can run higher costs than you may think. So, it’s worth looking into purchasing the two together, whether it’s a single bed or you may be looking for bunk beds with mattress included.

Multi-Functional Furniture

Sometimes, there may not be enough room to have a bookshelf, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, and a bed in a kids’ room, especially if they have a lot of toys! So, many parents opt to invest in multi-functional furniture. A good example is a raised bed that has a desk built into the bottom of it or a chair that has an opening back to store books. These can be fun for kids and will also save a lot of space and money.

Shop Second Hand (where safe)

There are some items of furniture that may not be considered safe to shop for second-hand, especially if you have younger children. This can include things like bookshelves and a chest of drawers that may have the hook that attaches the furniture to the wall missing.

However, you can get lamps, bedside tables, bedding, boxes, rugs, and desks second-hand, so you can easily deck out your kid’s room for a fraction of the price. Best of all, you can even have your kid paint the furniture, allowing them to color it to their favorite hue and to match the rest of the room.

Wall Decals

When you’re renting a home, you may not have the landlord’s permission to paint the walls, especially if you’ve just moved into the property. Also, painting a large room can be costly.

In this case, it can be worth looking into wall decals. In simple terms, these are like large stickers, which come in a range of sizes, designs, and colors, and also feature famous cartoon characters. They’re easy to apply and can be removed without damaging the wall. Best of all, they are cheap. So, get online and get looking!

Keep It Simple Storage

OK, so when you have kids, you’ll need a lot of storage space for their clothes, their school stuff, and the mountain of toys that always seems to be growing!

So, when it comes to storage options, it isn’t worth buying multiple chests of drawers, wardrobes, and ottomans. Most kids will want to access a toy quickly and will become upset or frustrated if they have to look through multiple chests of drawers to find it. Many parents opt for clear, plastic boxes with lids so their kids can see what’s in the box and can get it quickly. These can be stored under beds or, if needed, in wardrobes. As a kid gets older, you can invest in different storage options that’ll conceal everything a bit better, but for now, clear plastic boxes that are as cheap as chips are fine!
