I have been meaning to upload the photos of my son’s updated room for ages but here they finally are. We had recently painted the room white and wanted to update it without painting it a different colour so we used wall stickers, storage and new bedding to give it a bit more character.

The room used to have hastily cobbled together furniture and toys spread everywhere.

Before

After

My children and I had so much fun putting all the wall stickers up.

Ikea storage made more personal with old vinyl stickers.

I found an old pair of curtains I had made in the loft that fitted the window better.

The bed converts to a double for when we have guests.

Stripey ‘Elvis’ the lion!

I’m really pleased with how it looks; it’s not too fussy or themed but it feels calm, colourful and child-like. I forgot to take a photo of my charity-shop-bought rocking horse that sits proudly in the other corner so I’ll add it in a bit!
