A tween's room is their first real "yours" space — and the good news is the biggest transformations come from the cheapest fixes. Removable wallpaper, warm lights, and a gallery wall do more than any expensive furniture swap. Here's a full makeover that comes in around $300, with room to pick and choose.
The $300 game plan
The trick is layers: one big visual moment (an accent wall or gallery), warm lighting (instantly cozy), soft textiles (comforter, rug, pillow), and a little personality (neon sign, dried flowers). Skip the matching furniture sets — mixed, collected pieces look more grown-up and cost less.
