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.

    If no one has anything NICE to say about the room don’t say ANYTHING!I’m sure Wiggles worked hard and spend some on that room!I’m not saying that you guys should keep your all opinions to yourself…..because some opinions can be nice and not hurt feelings!

    I think that this room is far too rancom, it needs a comon theme. It doesn’t have to have to be one of the pre-made themes that you can buy in the W Shop, but at least pick the right items so that it looks coherent.

    no they are in the jungle theme in the w-shop!
    the ones that go outside are from the tree-top room theme:)

    You can barely walk in this room!
    and I don’t think it goes together so well anyone agree?

    I like the room but it’s not my favorite makeover, but people shouldn’t just go say I don’t like that room it’s so Ugly, that could hurt someone’s feelings. It is nice but it may look nicer if they used a bigger room.

    ALMOST everything there I can buy at the w-shop. Not to be rude, but the room is WAY to small and the cactus is not nice
