If you set aside some time and use toddler sized palettes, you can create a platform bed for your child’s room. This is a great way to get creative whilst making something completely worthwhile too.

Instead of simply throwing out an old chair why not take this opportunity to re-vamp it a little? Chairs have fantastic upcycling potential and can be easily transformed by simply painting them and changing the seat cover. Make it more personal and create your own seat cover or hand paint a fun design on the chair itself.

Children come with a lot of baggage…quite literally. They have tons of toys lying about their rooms with nowhere for them to go, which is why it is a great idea to come up with more storage space for them. You can completely transform an old ottoman for instance or even use a suitcase as a sort of treasure chest to store all of your child’s favourite things.

Using wallpaper with children’s favourite characters depicted on it can be a great way to add some colour and creativity to normal pieces of furniture. Doing this will instantly add extra life into a room and spruce up any old dreary pieces of furniture.
Upcycling furniture in your child’s bedroom offers the opportunity to get creative and it can even be done as a family activity for the kids to help out with and to get their creative juices flowing.
