Transitioning a kid's bedroom to a tween's bedroom could seem daunting — so whether you want to completely redo your daughter's bedroom or you're just looking to tweak an already awesome room to accommodate her (constantly) changing interests and amazing personality, we've got some inspiration for you.
This repainted desk and striped wall add the perfect amount of color to the whites, golds, and blacks in the rest of the room. Mature enough for a teen, young enough for a tween.
No matter how old your little girl gets, best friends, bright futures, and love will still hold importance. Something like this piece of canvas art can transition with her forever.
Tweens are notorious for being a fan of one thing one week to totally flipping and loving something else the next. Shelving and under-bed storage leave room for them to store things until they're "cool" again.
If your tween doesn't have much room for bookcases or a nightstand, use up some wall space for multipurpose shelving to keep them organized.
Artwork and photos in frames are easily interchangeable and can be moved around without a hitch.
One way to shake things up a bit is to replace curtains or a lampshade with something new. Little changes make a big difference and can make a child's room feel a little more mature and put-together.
Ending out a room makeover with fresh white walls, simple furniture, and a neutral color scheme gives your tween control over where to go from there as she grows.
High shelves are a great way to utilize wall space up and out of the way for displaying belongings that may have been grown out of, like stuffed animals that still have sentimental value but don't have a space on the bed anymore.
Gone are the days when toys on the playroom floor or dollhouses in the basement kept your daughter and her friends busy for hours. Make your tween's room a friendly hangout for having friends over to indulge in their more grown-up interests in style.
A mostly neutral room is perfect for a tween, but it doesn't hurt to have a pop of her favorite color to brighten things up.
If your 9-year-old daughter needed a canopy bed, but your 11-year-old isn't into it anymore, take off the canopy part and leave a rad overhead decoration in its wake. Other small changes include switching out drawer pulls and knobs, new pillow and duvet covers, and fresh photos or art in existing frames.
Using wall decals like the tennis racket ones above will keep the tennis dream alive for as long as she wants it to be. If she decides that she's into basketball in a few years, decals are easily removed.
Something like a pencil cup — we love these washi tape ones! — doesn't seem like that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but little changes can help keep things constantly refreshed for your ever-growing girl.
First names don't often change, so if you're looking for some decoration inspiration, choose something fun having to do with her name.
