Tween Girl Bedroom Makeover Ideas

Tween Girl Bedroom Makeover Ideas


Once you have outgrown your childhood bedroom decorations, you will probably want to thoroughly makeover your room. This redecorating project presents a perfect opportunity to reduce clutter, reorganize all the stuff in your room and create a cleaner space. And, of course, once you are finished, you will have a new space that you can be proud of and comfortable in, one that reflects your true personality. Consider teaming up with a friend to redecorate both of your rooms together.


Liven Up Your Walls


Painting your walls in bright colors or patterns can substantially liven up your room and add a personal touch. Rather than simply painting your walls a solid color, consider painting stripes, polka dots or clouds or use stencils to create a decorative border along the ceiling. You could also paint a mural on one of your walls. Choose a theme that reflects your personality and interests. Consider painting a scene involving characters from your favorite book or movie or athletes playing your favorite sport. Choose a subject that will make you smile every time you walk into your room. Ask your parents to help you paint, and invite a friend to join in the fun.


Make Functional Items Visually Interesting


Swap your plain white sheets and blankets for bold, jazzy colors and prints. Mix and match brightly colored pillows to add another decorative touch. Make organization fun with colorful, cloth-covered bins, decorative jewelry boxes and unique earring stands. Paint your bedside table with an eye-catching pattern or use a sponge to give it a textured, two-tone look. Find floor lamps with colorful shades to replace the harsh, boring light of an overhead fixture.


Create Specialized Areas in Your Room


Create a cool desk area for schoolwork and projects. Find fun, colorful organizers for pens and other supplies, and set up a bulletin board above your desk where you can post assignments, notes from friends, and photographs or awards. Drape twinkle lights over bookshelves or around your desk for a festive look to liven up studying. For a study break or lounge area in a corner of your room, use brightly colored throw pillows and beanbag chairs.
