Last time I did a room makeover with a budget breakdown, you requested more like that and I’m so happy you did because these are some of my favorite posts to create! I love designing a room with a budget in mind and giving you links to everything so you can literally just copy and paste.
Today I’m designing a room I’ve never done before – a kid’s room! I wanted to create an elevated boys room that still felt young and playful. Something that both you and your child will enjoy looking at. But more importantly, I made it budget friendly because we all know how quickly kids grow out of things and how rough they can be on a room. Quality pieces that are easy on the budget was my focus with this makeover.
I love a functional nightstand and a three drawer dresser is my go to. The price of this one is actually SO good! If you’ve got two kids sharing a room, add a second bed and tuck the nightstand right in between the beds! If you need a dresser, I always recommend checking out thrift stores or facebook marketplace and paint it or sand and stain it to your liking. That will be a MUCH cheaper route than anything new and you won’t feel quite as sad when it inevitably gets dinged up.
But if you need a stylish solution for hiding toys, books, shoes, or even clothes, this black media cabinet is everything! It’s the best price I could find for something this beautiful and it hides the mess behind closed doors!
For another $200, you can start to fill in the room with all the cute decorative pieces. A stuffy or two for the bed. A basket to throw toys or blankets in. A pair of vintage car prints that I think think would be absolutely adorable hung above the bed or the media cabinet. And an accordion coat rack for all the miscellaneous things.
It’s not too cutesy, but it doesn’t feel too adult either and that’s exactly how I like kids’ rooms! I’ve linked everything I included in this makeover below. Enjoy!
