Kids change their mind a lot, which means if they want something that relates to their absolute-favourite-toy-in-the-whole-wide-world, it’s probably not wise to spend a whole load of cash on it.
That’s not to say you can’t surprise your little one on a budget, though, and this bedroom makeover might give you ideas.
One mum shared how she transformed her child’s room for just £78, using their love of comic books as a jumping off point.
On the group, Extreme Budget DIY & Life Hacks on Facebook, she told how her son had ‘very politely asked for a new bed for Christmas’, and had chosen this with his mum and dad before a week away at his grandparents.
His parents wanted to go one better, and since they had some days off work, decided to completely revamp his room to surprise him when he came back.
The mum and dad made the most of their local selling group, and nabbed a set of bedside tables completely free, as well as a chest of drawers that would have been consigned to a skip.
A trip to Wilko and £78 later and the couple had everything they needed for the room.
The walls were covered in a comic wallpaper, with favourites like The Hulk and Thor adorning the room.
That wallpaper was also used in a decoupage method to cover the new drawers, adding to the pop-art primary colour scheme of the whole thing.
The boy’s room also has a cartoon duvet cover and there are matching curtains to go with it.
Once the full thing was finished, the mum said on Facebook: ‘Can’t wait to see his face when he sees it!
‘I’ve been wanting to do it for ages but never felt confident until I found this page.’
Commenters were impressed by the makeover. One said: ‘You’re the superhero here. He will love it.’
Another added: ‘Good job, he’s going to be so surprised, bless him’.
While we can’t confirm whether he was surprised or not, we can say that we love what this mum has done on a shoestring budget. It looks great.
