Is your child’s room looking a little tired and in need of a refresh? Whether you’re working with a full redecorate or just want to add some personality to the space, a few well-chosen pieces can completely transform how a bedroom feels. We’ve rounded up some fun kids bedroom ideas to help with storage, personalising the space, and decorating touches that bring in a bit of wow factor without a full overhaul.
Want to add a real focal point to your child’s bedroom or playroom? A feature wall, a bold print, or a themed set of wall stickers can turn a plain room into something your child loves spending time in — and most options can be added or removed without a big commitment.
We’ve gathered ideas below for storage, personalising the room, and decorating touches, so there’s something here whatever stage of the refresh you’re at.
Nifty Storage
Stackable storage boxes are a great way to tidy up all the bits and bobs that accumulate in a child’s room. Look out for sets with removable blackboard-style labels on the front, which make it easy to label what’s inside and just as easy to relabel as contents change. Boxes that come in a few different colours and include carry handles tend to work best for little hands helping with tidy-up time.

Personalising Your Child’s Room
Here are three cool ways to personalise your child’s room:
#1. Personalised Bunting
Fabric personalised bunting is a lovely way to add a personal touch to your child’s room. You can have your child’s name added, or a special word like “Peace” or “Joy,” ordered letter by letter. Look for bunting handmade using good-quality cotton, with letters cut and appliquéd by hand for a lasting finish.

#2. Personalised Art for Kids
Or consider a personalised art piece you can frame and hang on the wall. Bright, fun, quirky prints designed specifically for children make a lovely feature, and a personalised print showcasing your child’s name or favourite details is a simple way to make a room feel like theirs.

Decorating Your Child’s Room
How About a Teepee for Kids?
A well-made teepee looks great in any home and works both indoors and out. Designed with an easy-to-set-up frame and a canvas cover, a good teepee makes a fabulous play space as much as a piece of furniture — somewhere for reading, imaginative play, or a quiet corner to retreat to.
Funky Lampshades
Brighten up the ceiling and make a real feature with a funky new lampshade. Handmade lampshades made to order let you match a theme — a retro campervan print, for example — and typically come in a few sizes to suit different rooms. Pair a themed lampshade with a matching print or poster to complete the look.

Kids Wall Stickers
Kids usually have firm opinions on what they do and don’t like, which is what makes wall stickers such a handy decorating option — they avoid a full repaint and can be taken down easily once your child has moved on to a new favourite theme. Look for stickers that are guaranteed removable without damaging your walls, so you can update the room as tastes change.
Themed sticker sets — like a space adventure design with dozens of pieces — let you create a real out-of-this-world feel across walls, ceilings and even furniture, and they come off just as easily as they go on.
