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.

    There’s no reason to call it a boy’s room. That room could easily be a girl’s room. Frankly, I find that offensive

    I think that it IS a little cramped, and I like 2 have a kitchen in my room.
    And for the new webkinz members, they only have one room, sooooo not the best usage of space.

    I really like this room for a boy! I think in a small room it looks great but for a larger one it may be too much red. I’m going to try the small one though. Thanks!
