Decorating on a Budget: Boy’s Bedroom


By Wiggles Pig

Sometimes designing a space you dig without digging too deeply into your pockets means making some trade offs. I was able to splurge on a few pieces for this boy’s bedroom while keeping within my budget of 2,500 KC by making smart choices elsewhere.

For example, I really wanted him to enjoy a beautiful meadow view, but the window I had in mind cost 485 KC. That’s a lot, but I knew I could compromise and still get a great look if I went with a 60 KC coat of red paint on the walls and On Deck Pirate flooring for just 150 KC.

With their cheerful primary colors, the Prairie Wood Bed and Circle Sensation Carpet gave me the playful look I was going for, but together they came to $850! Yikes! It’s a good thing I spotted these Tree Stump Side Tables for just $75 each. Tree stumps? In a boy’s room? What could be more perfect?

When I spotted the Joyful Jigsaw Coffee table with its bright primary shades, the final pieces of the puzzle started coming together. It fit perfectly with the Chunky Red Chair. And I could afford them both with one last trade off – an affordable Rattan Toy Box that works nicely in almost any setting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So you see, my friends, when you’re designing a room on a budget, you don’t have to limit yourselves. You CAN include a few higher end pieces as long as you’re willing to trade off for some cheaper items too.

    Nicely done! Thanks for sharing!

  4. unicornmagic23 says:

    I would like it if it was bigger and the banner was taken out and their was a different window. I also like things that are more expensive (on webkinz not in real life) cuz I have lots of kinzcash and stylish rooms are more my thing. otherwise good job

  5. Praline says:

    cool designs

  6. The Game says:

    I don’t like it at all.:(

  7. CACAR says:

    • hoopster11 says:

      I little too cramped

    • namatthew says:

      I think so to.

      • KellyCookieSlideshow says:

        Oh my. This room isn’t very boyish to me. It looks more like…..well I don’t know what it really looks like. All I can tell about this, is that Wiggles the Pig could use a little bit of help from Hailey and Elwin. I think a boy’s room would look better if Wiggles had gone with the sports theme and add a few sparks of color here and there. And he said that tree stumps in the room were perfect for a boy, but no one I know has tree stumps in their rooms! :D The funny thing I think about this room is the fact that usually Hailey or Elwin pose inside their redesigned room, but instead of a Webkinz pig inside the room, there is a golden retriever! Haha! Wait….I guess Wiggles is sort of in the picture, if you count the piggy bank on the table. ;)

  8. CALLI says:

    welll it looks a little too country…. i prefer more modern looks :)

  9. Mags The Mechanic says:

        Oh, wow, that is SUPER CUTE! Love it! :D

        • wow says:

          i have one word for that room;UGLY

          • FireWolves says:

            Agree!

          • partygirl says:

            YEAH IT’S SOOO UGLY!!!!!

          • TheAlkKids says:

            I don’t think I’m a big fan of this room……… I think it is too random, I think it looks nicer if you use a theme……… I mean that’s why the theme’s are there right?!

          • mals always right says:

            I agree that room needs a theme !!!!And it has way to many colors that don’t match together!!!

          • psalm11911 says:

            Like ummm… in April? Maybe. I made an apartment for my Strawberry Cow. I hate to use random themes and colors running wild. I like to keep them under control. LOL!!!!!!!! But my apartment is light blue and a nice green. (Not ugly green though…YUCK!!!!) Her room made be more like a home(with paper towels and shoes,postcards and magazines,yeah the works.), but seriously, why make a room so neat and tidy you just want to throw a pile of toys in the middle of it? Add me! My username is: psalm11911

          • permithia387 says:

            I like the randomnis of the room Its not like a theme

          • mayoraxter says:

            Well, the themes are there to suggest room looks, you can just go with the flow and copy the exact themes, or, you can think outside the box and combine themes and a few matching random items. What I like to do, is create rooms based on a few matching theme things, and then go from there.

          • pumpkie10 says:

            I agree, I just adopted a lamb named Meagan, and I used the suggestions. My room came out great. It is a nice blue. I used the lamb bed, some blue and white striped things, some things from the cloud theme, and some things I had. I started off with * 4500K and I ended with * 1500K

            ****ESTIMATED

          • Marshmallow says:

            There are too many colors!

          • Moonstar says:

            Hey guys, I wanted to remetion my idea! Ok, this room is horrid! The bamboo toy boz doesn’t match anything! The red wall paper maked the room look even smaller than it actually is. The tree stumps don’t go with the country. What boy has country stuff!? ( A window and a bed?! ) That rug looks so ugly in the dark browns and blacks and beiges. Jigsaw Coffe Table? 1. That looks just as bad as the rug!
            The zangoz toy is right next to a treee stump table and is on the ground! Would it kill Wilggles to put it on the table? It is way to random and crowded! I could make a better room with 2,500! -Moonstar*

          • Dawnkit says:

            I like the way you think Moonstar! Jig Saw Coffe Table? I am gonna go with what you siad: It’s as bad as the rug!

          • warriorgirl says:

            There is to much stuff cramped in one room.

          • horselover99 says:

            Totally agree with you, Moonstar!! I’m not that good at decorating, but when I decorate my rooms, I make them match as best as I can. And some of the other rooms Wiggles has made I didn’t like them either. That horrible flooring with the yucky red wallpaper, they so totally clash!!! -Horselover99

          • ??? says:

            THATS SOOO MEAN WHAT IF YOU MADE THIS ROOM AND PEOPLE SAID THAT – HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT!!!

          • awkward112345 says:

            I absolutely agree this room is obviously cheap! I would rather spend all my kinzcash on a good room than save money and have this kind of room!! Its not an appealing room.

          • sqiggles says:

            I so agree with that. THIS ROOM IS SUPER UGLY :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :) :( :( :(

          • Cocaneerider says:

            Yeah, squiggles!!! This room STINKS! I never like Wiggles’ designs!!! Yuck!!!!

          • taterbugtay says:

            Whoever says this room is ugly is being MEAN!!! If you dont have something nice to say, dont say anything. I personally love it.

          • Lanie65 says:

            You’re soooo right! I love this design too:)

          • 1molly09 says:

            that was a nice thing to say about that room hi

          • Remy says:

            dude! everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and they are NOT being mean if they say the room is ugly because that’s their opinion.

          • 10lulu15 says:

            taterbugtay is right. if you have something mean to say, don’t say it. it will just offend poor wiggles pig. he’s just trying to help!

            P.S. some people DOlike that room

          • awww says:

            that is mean! just because you think it is bad, doesn’t mean it is bad! ganz made that, and they made it to show you could make rooms with hardly any kinzcash!

          • MrsSpongebob says:

            This isn’t my favorite design but you don’t have to yell. Someone probably spent their weekend trying to make this for your enjoyment not so you could insult it. I feel like your comment is rude.

          • Kestrel says:

            I agree. No need to be rude just because you don’t like it!

          • katiegirl0518 says:

            I agree… Other people could enjoy this room. it is not my favorite either.. but you are right… no need to yell.

          • maddog77777 says:

            There is no need to say anything mean about this room. If you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything.

          • gbhbhnj says:

            It is cooooooooooooool

          • geotraxboy says:

            I have only one word to say, realistic. I have cool rooms, but this is w-shop and its cool.

          • Ufrit says:

            I agree though, boy’s rooms are messy

          • Ashley says:

            I agree

          • agree er says:

            I agree, it may look ugly but its a BOYS bedroom! Its not girls bedroom, if it was a girls bedroom it would be all girly and pink!!!

          • cad0rade says:

            :(

          • Webkinz User says:

            I KNOW!!!!!!

          • randomperson says:

            you cant even put tree stump tables in your indoor-room!!!! plus that room is REALLY UGLY!!!!

          • I like Pie says:

            These aren’t the tree stump side tables you’re thinking of. The ones you’re thinking of are part of the treetop theme. These are really old ones from when webkinz first opened up before they even had themes. They have no theme and nothing that matches them
            All you guys who say that it’s uply, I agree. However, you can learn something from this: When you don’t have a lot of money for a room, you CAN get some more expensive items, like the fancy blue canopy bed (forget what it’s called) as long as you find some cheap items that YOU THINK look good together. That’s the real lesson.

          • uuutr/rtuuu c.s says:

            what the heck!????

          • Nicole says:

            Agreed.

          • sophie says:

            thats mean I like it!!!

          • ceci says:

            Thank you!You can earn kinzcash from the arcade or jobs and mostly everything. If you wanna make a room on a cheap budget look for better items not items that are from totally different themes that don’t even have a precentage of 50.Look for cheap but stylish.And even if your on a budget you could buy expensive items just don’t waste even more kinzcash on junk you don’t need or stop buying stuff to trade when the items are useless.I could make a much better room with 1500$.-Ceci

          • GRACE says:

            TOTALLY AGREED!

          • STUFF!!!!!!!!!!! says:

            I think this room is ugly too!! You can tell its cheap!

          • Scampsfriend says:

            I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          • Nimba30 says:

            You are right that room is HORRIFYING. My rooms are way better!!!!!!!!!!!

        • totally says:

          This room is dull – this looks like the room before it’s makeover blahh i don’t like it at all

        • Gameboy2 says:

          I don’t get it. Why are people saying it’s cut when its for boys.

        • Cheetahstar says:

          I love this room so much!

        • jazzy says:

          IT’S surely not the design i would have for my room.

    • HUH says:

      I love it! The country bed adds a nice splash of western and country to it, especially mixed with that open country window and the two tree stump cabinets! The cacti looks pretty, with its vibrant greenness, and the orange pot! And the soccer banner: The boy must be a fan of soccer, so the banner goes perfectly! The 2 side doors kinda make it look bad, but without the doors: EXCELLENT! That wooden flooring looks absolutely GOOD in there, and so does the splash of color from the rug! I’d give this room a 5 STAR RATING!

    • 1000Silverstar says:

      I am sick of being copied! I am going to use another name-but I won’t tell what name. Figure this out, you’ll know who I am where I am waiting. The blue den is where I wait. . . . . . -Silverstar??

      • 1000Silverstar says:

        The last Silver camp. My old den is more clear. A star like a moon is ready for you. Feather longer than a tail will help and a star duller than a willow may be needed. -1000Silverstar

    • Moonstar says:

      That is horrid! I would like to see 1 boy’s room that has country things! The red makes the place look compressed and small. That rug is so ugly with that room. The bamboo desk or whatever it is looks horrible with the other stuff! The soccer banner doesn’t really fit in this style of room. The truck is just out, and the zangoz is next to a table top and is on the floor! That cactus doesn’t look good on that tree thingy. I can imagine something high tech and modern. Maybe a Foosball table and that rug. Like a football bed and some kind of field looking flooring and wall paper. A soccer ball, bowling ball and ???? in the corner or on a stand. Something that looks modern and high tech, sports stuff too. That is what I think! It is also waaay to cramped! -Moonstar*

    • sophia99 says:

      I like it!!!! I was thinking about mabey doing that design

    • Josie! says:
