Quick Teen Bedroom Updates That Make A Big Impact
Children grow up so quickly and regularly change interests and taste with different stages – it can be hard to keep up! This can also affect how children want their rooms to look of course and this becomes extra important during the teenage years. In this guide, we’ll look at some quick teen bedroom updates to spruce up your child’s room. The ideas below are not full room makeovers but updates for specific areas or details that all have a big impact on how the room looks and feels as a whole without having to remodel the whole space and replacing all the furniture.
Let’s get into it.

Update the Walls
The walls are the biggest surface area of any room so naturally updating the walls makes a big difference to how a room looks. Here are a few ways to update the walls in your teen’s room:
- Install a wall mural: There are lots of amazing wall murals for children’s rooms that can completely transform a room. Let your teen choose the design of the wall mural and they are sure to love it. There are so many designs to choose from, including nature themes, space themes, cool artwork and so much more. We used to have a pastel rainbow mural in my eldest daughter’s room but changed it to a magical forest design when she became a tween which was a perfect update that didn’t take much time at all. Additionally, wall murals are easy to install as they are customised to fit your wall’s measurements.
- A lick of paint: Painting the walls is the quickest and easiest option. You can paint all the walls or do an accent wall. An accent wall can simply be in a bold or bright colour or you could create a fun geometric pattern. There are lots of guides for how to do this online.
- Wallpaper makeover: Wallpapering is another option for refreshing a room’s walls but it does require more time and effort than the above two options. You can make it a smaller job by doing a feature wall on just one of the walls.

Change Up the Fabrics
Fabrics also make up a large part of a bedroom. By updating the fabrics of a bedroom you can change how the whole room looks. You could choose to switch up all the fabrics in the room or focus on of the below areas:
- New bedding. The bed is the biggest piece of furniture in a bedroom and you can quickly update it with some new bedding to suit your teen’s current taste. You can also update throw pillows and add a nice blanket or a bedspread.
- Curtain update. A new set of curtains is another way to update the fabrics in a bedroom. Or perhaps your teen prefers a combination of blackout blinds and curtains to help them achieve their weekend lie-ins to catch up on some sleep?
- A rug addition. Adding a colourful rug or a rug in a cool design is another way to quickly update the fabrics in a bedroom, while making it feel extra cosy too.

Easily Updated Wall Art
Another quick and easy way to update a room is to update any artwork that’s displayed on the walls. You can make it really easy to switch things up in this area by getting some standard sized poster frames and some posters with themes that your teen currently likes. Then, when their interests and favourite bands change, you can easily get some new posters to update the wall art in minutes. You can of course put posters straight on the wall too but framing them protects both the posters and the walls from damage.
Conclusion – Quick Teen Bedroom Updates
There we have it – a bunch of tips for how to update your teen’s bedroom quickly, without having to redecorate the full room. The above tips can all be done on a budget too and won’t require much work nor effort, meaning you can easily keep up with your teen’s changing interests.
