Creating the perfect kid's room can be expensive. Why not save money and make your child’s room unique with DIY projects?

If your youngster’s room is looking a bit, shall we say “bleh,” it’s time to do something about it. Raising a kid might be full of surprises, but it’ll be no surprise that your kid will be delighted with these DIYs that turn boring into brilliant. 

Watch out room, here we come.

1. Stylish Storage

Keep clutter to a minimum with toys tucked away in cute, patterned storage bins that complement the room's decor. 

2. Corner Reading Nook

Make reading a fun activity that your child looks forward to and give them a cozy spot to enjoy their books & maybe a snack too. 

3. Pallet Shoe Organizer

Organize your kid’s shoes with this cute idea. Simply set a pallet on its end, screw it into the wall, and tuck your child’s shoes inside.

4. Chalkboard Paint Wall

Does your child love to draw? Let their imagination soar by painting one of their walls with chalkboard paint.

5. Mini Art Gallery

Make a cheap and easy accent wall with this idea from Project Nursery. Create a mini gallery of framed photos, artwork, mirrors, and wooden words or letters in various colors to punch up a plain room. Keep clutter to a minimum with toys tucked away in cute, patterned storage bins that complement the room's decor.

6. Make bed with old pallets

This smart rustic DIY pallet bed makes a contemporary style unlike any other. You can even be creative and adapt the design to your own specific needs with different paint colors.

7. Bird House Night Light

This DIY BirdHouse is perfect for a child’s room nightlight. It’s also a great project to do with your own little one. Grab the glue gun and paint and spend some time together.

8. Colorful Chandelier

This chandelier is made out of your kids drawings! This is a great way to display all those school projects the kids are ALWAYS bringing home.

9. ShipLap Wall


Everyone loves shiplap! This DIY project is a little more time consuming but oh-so-worth it! And don't forget how easy it is to construct a teepee and provide plush cushions and their favorite stuffed animals. The perfect corner for playing, napping and just enjoying "their own space."

Remember, you don’t have to do every idea on this list. 

Choose one or two that really fit your child and make it your priority to do this project for them. Even if you feel too busy, these DIY’s don’t take long to make but will put a smile on your kid’s face for years.
