This Place Has The Coolest Items To Upgrade Your Kids' Rooms As They Grow
Bold colors and patterns? Yes, please!
There comes a moment in every parent’s life — generally around the time a kid starts kindergarten — when the lovingly designed nursery you poured so much manic nesting energy into begins to look in need of a serious glow-up. After all, children don’t just age out of cribs and changing tables; they also start to want decor that matches their developing tastes (“Mom, I think I’m too… old for a bunny lamp,” my six-year-old recently announced). But don’t worry, there’s no need for a drastic or break-the-bank makeover. Society6, created to support unique work by independent artists, offers gorgeous, high-quality products that make upgrading kids’ rooms a breeze, one distinctive piece at a time.
First things first, put away those painter’s overalls because no one is trying to give you more work. Busy parents have enough to do, and with Society6, you can revamp a kid’s room with no assembly required. It’s not just cheaper and easier to swap out eye-catching accents rather than big-ticket furniture, but when you shop artist-designed decor on Society6, you can maximize impact with minimal effort. Just like a bold lip can draw focus from, say, under-eye bags (the bedtime struggle is real), a single, vibrant piece in a room can elevate the entire space. Keep scrolling to learn some simple ways to upgrade your kid’s space with the help of Society6.
Jazz Up The Walls With New Art
The walls — a blank canvas, once you wipe off any errant crayon and take down all of the taped-up macaroni collages (to be saved for posterity, obviously) — are a great place to start. Maybe it’s time to do away with decals and add a bold canvas wall print, like this colorful cat or some whimsical words of inspiration.
Add Some Personality From The Ground-Up
A new rug is also a savvy buy when you’re looking to get the most visual bang for your buck. Instead of something neutral or a mass-market branded design (our TV is on enough; I don’t need to see cartoon characters on my floor), an elegant or unexpected pattern instantly screams “big kid room.” Opt for this retro botanical gingham pattern or this cool, mid-century mustard design.
Swap Out Their Bedding
A child’s bed is often the room’s central focus, so decking it out with new sheets, a bright comforter, or a fun pillow can be an affordable way to add pizazz. Some bedding you won’t be able to resist: This plush, lightweight scalloped comforter that recalls calm oceanic waves, these supersoft brushed cotton sheets in offset stripe, and this playful throw pillow that’s reminiscent of a paint palette — except no cleanup required.
Dress Up The Windows With New Curtains
Another simple upgrade that can instantly change the feel of a room is to add curtains with an abstract pattern or unexpected pop of color. A solid choice is this dreamy abstract hand-drawn floral motif or this bright, clean striped design (and yes, rest assured they’re blackout curtains — every tired parent’s best friend).
So if your kiddo is jonesing for a new lewk for their room, look no further for a one-stop shop full of creative spring cleaning inspiration. Society6 has a wide-ranging selection of high-quality, sustainable home goods, textiles, and decor featuring effortlessly cool, exclusive designs from independent artists. Adding a dose of self-expression with a fun new piece not only puts a fresh spin on your kid’s room but also helps them start to develop a vibe that’s uniquely theirs.
