PP again - window coverings, go for the pricier neutral colored ones. They do make a difference. Expect to pay $500 for a double window.

Buy furniture that is timeless and neutral - easier to get rid of if you don't need it and could be useful as a guest bed. My advice - go for a Queen bed if the room is large enough or a Full if it isn't.
Budget - like the previous poster said, depends on where you are sourcing it. Expect to pay more for quality new furniture or get good quality stuff on the cheap from estate sales if you don't care about new.
Besides the furniture, I wouldn't expect a rug, lamp, photo frames, quilt and decor to go over $500.

the tween years are very short. plan for the long game. get good, ageless furniture then give the kid a couple hundred dollars and a few trips to a thrift store.

Does the kid not have furniture now?

+1. Usually I budget zero dollars because there is so much free stuff floating around.

I would take them to ikea. I love it there and I’m 47, lol. The furniture only has to last until college, and after that it will sit in their rooms, right? I love the style though. Others might like the loveshack fancy style or pottery barn. My teens are actually into vintage, so goodwill hunting might be good.

I would prioritize mattress, frame, and bed.
Consider investing in a Queen bed that will stay with your tween into the college years.
I only had one bedroom set, which was very nice real wood. I took care of it. I could have used it well into my early adulthood.
You can always make a bed feel cozy with blankets and pillows. You can't make a small bed feel bigger.

It really depends on how handy you are and the room size. I think I paid $50 for a full headboard, had the bed from a few years prior, $100 or so for a new bookshelf, under $100 for a new rug, paint - $50 or so, wallpaper $25, mural $100. Bedding, maybe another $100. Had the dresser from a baby but bought an adult one. New light and nightstand I made from something I repurposed.

Lol at “I mean this kindly.” Followed by “is there something more valuable we can answer?!” If you don’t have anything nice to say and actually mean to be kind then don’t reply.

It just depends on what you’re trying to achieve I think. If it’s just function, spend as little as possible and as much as necessary, maybe $5k? Less if you try hard?

Pretty much whatever you want - depends on if you go to Target/Kohls/Ikea or PBK or something more $$$.

How much would you budget to decorate the bedroom of a tween? Including furniture, window coverings.
