I love to organize and to have all the rooms clutter-free, but I’m really bad at decorating. I mostly love really minimalist designs and white walls. We don’t have many cheerful colors in our apartment – all the walls & curtains are white. The furniture is cream-colored and I like it!
My daughter’s room was plain white too, minus the pink crib and her colorful toys, but babies and kids need stimulation and colors are a great way to cheer up children’s room.
Here are 5 easy ways to make kids’ rooms fun and cheerful with just a couple of little details.
Decals & Stickers
For me, it’s the easiest way to bring some color and fun to any room. Just choose the images you like or your kid’s favorite characters and start decorating. Decals are an affordable and fast solution for boring rooms.
They are usually reusable and easy to remove without leaving any sticky residue behind. So you can reposition them as often as you want or replace them when your kid’s favorite characters change or they get bored of the design.

Paintings bring a lot of life to any room and are an easy way to cheer up a kid’s room. You can frame your kid’s artwork and display those colorful creations on the wall, making it personalized and fun for the kids. Or you can also search for posters and prints that match with room’s theme.
A wall of wall string wire gives your kids a great option to showcase their best gems and at the same time decorate their place.

Paint
Get creative with paints! Kid’s bedrooms give you an opportunity to get innovative and have fun experimenting with different patterns, prints, and colors. There are a lot of ways paint can be used for brightening up the rooms.
The most common way is to paint a wall, but you can also use different paints to decorate furniture, accessories or use chalkboard paint to create an interactive space. Have fun, mix and match to find a combination that works for your kid’s area.

Curtains
Curtains are another easy way to cheer up a room. Use bold colors and patterns that go with the room’s color scheme when the walls are white or neutral colors when the walls are painted with bold colors.
When choosing curtains, keep in mind that kids are often messy! Choose materials that are easy to clean and to take care of.
I love the idea of a chalkboard wall in a kid’s room! Hopefully prevents them from coloring on any other walls…haha!
You can never go wrong with decals – they can always instantly make any room look brighter and lively. I love the chalkboard wall and the room, of course. It’s pretty. I just dunno where to find chalkboard paint here.
I love these ideas to cheer up a kid’s room. We rent, so I couldn’t paint. I mostly use posters and removable wall decals. My son is 9, I actually need to update his room. It still has posters from when he was 5, and he’s just not that into those things anymore.
Hi there! Visiting from an Alexa thread! I love these ideas…especially the framed art! That’s already on my list of things to do to update my kids’ rooms when they get older 😉
I need to refresh the walls of my kids room. I really like all the frames and then put all their artwork in it. They work so hard on creating it so I should display more of it 🙂
These are great tips for cheering up the kids rooms. I love the decal and sticker idea along with the chalkboard paint. I will have to share this with my sister for her son’s room. Thanks for sharing.
We have used wall decals on all the kids rooms to spice them up and love them. They love to make a
I hit the enter key to soon 🙁 They love to make artwork for their own walls as well. My youngest loves to dry Frozen pictures for her walls.
These are great ideas. I know it’s time for me to update my TWEEN daughter’s room for sure.
These are awesome ideas! We like to use posters and art that the kids have made to personalize and brighten up their rooms!
I love your ideas! I like the decals and stickers. Super cute!
These are really great ideas! Chalkboard paint would really save a lot of trouble of cleaning walls that kids color on.
Our little one is only 3 months old but I would love to decorate his room more! Thanks for sharing these great tips, I LOVE wall decals.
We love color, but I love your art station! So much fun! My kids would love your chalkboard wall too. We let our kids pick the color of their rooms, and they all have they name in vinyl on the wall. My youngest just got some of those sticker decals for Christmas.
I love the idea of framing their artwork and adding a fun teepee to the room! I really need some ideas to spruce up my sons room! Thanks for sharing!
These are some pretty awesome tips!!! I really love the art display!!! Too cute
These are all great tips! I was actually flipping through a Disney paint catalog other and didn’t realize they had so many different colors of chalk paint AND dry erase paint. I’d for sure use one of those!
Love the sticker idea. If you are renting and can’t paint, this is a great way to add some sparkle to your kids room. The chalkboard paint is pretty awesome too!
It is about time for me to redo all of my boys rooms. Thanks for these ideas. I am definitely going to be keeping them in mind.
These are sweet rooms! They inspire creativity and togetherness. As we prepare to move I am enjoying the inspiration, thank you!
