My son has had a jungle-themed room for about four years now. He recently decided itโs time for a change, but where do we start? Luckily, most of the room is somewhat neutral, with most of the jungle aspect focused on a feature wall and decor items.
If youโre ready to transform your childโs room, consider these Pinterest-inspired kidsโ room makeover ideas to inspire you.
Choose a Theme Your Child Loves (But Keep It Flexible)
You can find tons of bedroom ideas on Pinterest for kids, and many of them go overboard with a theme. Honestly, if you want to do a themed room, a kidโs room is a great place to do it, but be prepared to change it often.
However, you could stick with a more subtle, neutral foundation and layer the theme on top using decor or removable wall decals. Youโll find plenty of examples of this design style on Pinterest, too.
Over time, as your childโs interests change, itโs much easier to tweak the roomโs design to express your childโs style.

Create a Cozy Reading Nook
Many Pinterest-inspired kidsโ rooms feature a quiet, comfy retreat where children can relax and unwind. A soft rug, small bookshelf, and plump cushions add inviting touches. For an extra-cozy ambiance, add string lights or a canopy for a magical Pinterest vibe kids love.
Include Smart Storage Solutions
It doesnโt matter how beautifully you design your childโs bedroom if itโs full of clutter. The right storage adds functionality and visual appeal. Storage is also a great way to introduce color, themes, and your childโs style.
Add DIY Decor
Create custom name signs, wall art, or handmade garlands with your child to add personal touches to their room. Not only does this add a unique flair to the room, but it also saves you money.
Adjustable Furniture Makes It Easy to Pull Off Kidsโ Room Makeovers
Focus on style and function by using the right-sized furniture for your child, and select pieces that grow with them. Adjustable beds, desks, chairs, and other pieces make it much easier to give your childโs room a makeover. Plus, it saves money, since you arenโt forced to buy new furniture every time your child grows a few inches.
A Kidโs Room Makeover That Suits Their Style
A successful bedroom makeover is one that matches your childโs evolving style and allows them to express their personality. Donโt be afraid to incorporate some whimsical touches or even a few over-the-top features, but make sure everything tells your childโs story.
