Talk To Your Child
What does your child want? Which colors do they love? What are they interested in right now? Take the suggestions with a pinch of salt and apply them to your idea. If your child has an undying love for the color blue, maybe implement that and hold back on the ‘dragons’ motif for now.
Wall Murals
Wall murals used in redecorating your kid’s bedroom help a child identify with the family. It helps them expand their imagination. Having a wall mural that you and your child design together will show them you appreciate their input and ideas. Maybe you could start small, and grow it over time as the years pass on.

Eco-Friendly Decoration
Using weaved baskets made from wood, or recycled furniture could help your child identify with the benefits of creating something worthy of awe from another material entirely.
Storage Spaces
If your child has a fondness for pirate ships, why not upturn a side rowing boat and use the dividers as a shelving unit? This can look great if done correctly and painted to your child’s taste. You’d be surprised what could double as a tasteful and practical storage space.
Lighted Letters
Lighted letters are a beautiful way to show belonging. Spelling out the child’s full name or initials along a shelf can really bring the room together and help them identify it as their space. This is especially useful if you’ve recently changed homes. Plus the light doubles as a useful night light if need be.
Enlarging Photo’s
Enlarging one photo into multiple frames can look fantastic, and can make a great focal point for a room. Having a special photo that celebrates a family vacation can help your child feel loved and included. Personalized decor can be a tasteful, cheap wall decoration when redecorating your kid’s bedroom.
Child’s Artwork
Incorporating your child’s artwork can really lend a brilliant personal touch to the room. They will also feel they have contributed to the redecorating of your kid’s room. Helping them love and appreciate the space where they lay their head.
Remember, depending on the age of your child it might be worth checking how safe it is. Can a table be climbed on and fallen off? Don’t be afraid to be adventurous but make sure that you are as wise with what you bring into the room. Your child will remember this room all of their lives.
