Decorating with Resene
Decorating a kids room has to be one of the most fun DIY projects, especially when you can upstyle existing items into something new and funky with minimal cost.
So as a nod to upstyling we’ve gathered some of our favourite DIY projects from Resene that your child can create, with a bit of supervision, to proudly say, “I made that!”.
Trendy storage projects
#1 Paint a crate for bedroom storage
Paint a wooden crate and match it to your decor or get the kids to help with their favourite colours and designs. Use your imagination and try a doodle-type artwork .

#2 Transform a set of drawers
Turn an old set of drawers into colourful and fun storage that the kids will adore. It might even inspire them to put their things away!
