Hey party peeps! As you guys know, we have just become homeowners and I’ll be sharing on my blog over the next few months some of my home decorating projects. Today it was my tween daughter’s turn to get a style makeover in her bedroom. Join me as I show you How to Style a Tween Bedroom Bookcase with affordable items I found at Target. Styling for a tween is hard. You have to strike just the right balance between a grown up room and still be kid-friendly. Keeping the color palette black and white with pops of white and pink were perfect in creating this balance.
STYLE THE TOP!
I love using shorter bookcases as it allows for the top of the bookcase to be used for things that tweens can grab easily within reach and it also provides a surface area for a lamp which I love in a bedroom as it provides such a cozy atmosphere. Here I picked up a cute pink trimmed linen lampshade that went perfectly with the clear glass lamp base. Target has an entire section of mix and match lamp bases and shades, so you can mix and match to find one that you really like. My daughter is also really into animals so I picked up this ceramic whale that she just thought was grown up! SCORE FOR MOMMY!
GIRLFRIEND TIP: Since I used such a bold zebra pattern in the fabric bins, I opted to use monochromatic accessories with a pops of a bright pink to give the overall design a modern yet whimsical look.
ORGANIZE THE CLUTTER WITH FABRIC BINS!
I LOVE bookcases. As a stylist, each and every shelf is a new opportunity to style something amazing. But, when you’re working with a tween bedroom it becomes a little less about fashion and A LOT about function! My tween daughter has lots of random stuff, from toys to headbands to cds and they seem to always land on every available surface space. So for this makeover, I decided to tame the clutter with bins! Pick up a few fabric boxes that match your room’s colors. They fit perfectly onto the shelves of this 2-shelf bookcase.
STYLE THE WALLS!
When styling shorter bookcases, it’s important to also style the wall right above the bookcase for a unified look. Target had these inspirational wall art canvases that happened to fit perfectly above my bookcase. To give it a whimsical look, I staggered them on the wall. This was my daughter’s favorite part as she LOVED what they said!
Well, this is project #2 for the new house. What do you think?

Really nice job. My favorite part about it is how everything is nicely organized. I like the colors too.
That is a good idea. My 10 year old has a bookcase in his room and I would love to do something funky with it.
The bookcase is very cute and practical. I love the color scheme.
I love the blood scheme and decor. It’s perfect for a teen or preteen
That should say *color* not blood. My autocorrect is on steroids.
LOL! It’s all good!
That is too cute. I adore thee zebra print for sure.
What an adorable room. She must be a very happy girl and the envy of her friends!
This is a great room. I’m sure her friends must love coming over 🙂
Ok, I LOVE Target. I totally find my style there too 🙂 This room is SO cute!
I know my daughter would have loved this in her room. I am not sure she would keep it this neat.
First of all, your daughter is adorable! I love her bedroom – incredible style.
Aww, THANKS SO MUCH!
What a cute bookshelf. I love the zebra print boxes.
That’s a truly impressive setup. I’m loving the blacks, pinks and whites and the wall word art is really cool!
What a great bedroom! Love the colors, looks like she agrees!
This is adorable. I wonder what decorating my tweens rooms will be like
I really like the idea of making the bookcase and your daughter is adorable.
I think it came out wonderful! I agree that those shorter bookcases can open up options for along the top. My problem is when people just start dumping things there…
I do like fabric bins. These are feisty and fun looking too. Congrats on your new home!
I use fabric bins to hide the clutter all the time! I love the color scheme and all the fun little accents.
This room is fab! I would have loved this as a tween! Perfect 🙂
What a cute room for a Tween! My daughter would love that room!
You did a fantastic job and your daughter is so pretty!
That is sooo cute. Love the storage bins.
Brilliant organization ideas! I love the look of fabric bins, it just makes everything look neater (even if things are just dumped inside!) Perfect for teens and tweens.
That is adorable. My daughter would love the zebra print.
I love all the zebra patterns in this set up! It looks like a fun display. I need to organize my own bookshelf!
What a fun idea! Turned out great! She has a really pretty room!
I really like using the fabric bins to keep the clutter in on spot. I use them in different places in my house.
That is such a cute look! I love the style. We have sooo many books so no room for cute decorations lol!
Oh, she loves to read too and has a 2nd bookcase in her room FULL of books! 😉
That is so cute! I LOVE that zebra print. It’s such a fun accent.
Zebra prints always bring so much life to the area they are decorating. It seems to work really well with pink too!
What a neat and cheerful bookcase! I want that whale! I love him! Bins are such a good way to hide clutter and when they are as pretty as those, it’s a win-win!
How very pretty! If my tween wasn’t so much like me (organized chaos!) I would love to do something like this for her!
It looks so fun! And I’m in love with that lamp! So cute. You did a wonderful job.
I love the zebra print on the storage containers! That is an adorable bookcase arrangement for her!
That looks like so much fun! I bet she LOVES it!!! I know I would!
What a beautiful bookcase, I love all the stripes on it! This is something that any tween would love to have in their room.
I’m not a tween, but I think this would work even for young professionals like me. I love the idea of the fabric bins ( just need to know where to get those durable ones ).
I love the color scheme! I also love the decor. You did a fantastic job!
Animal prints for the bedroom bookcase look so stylish and pretty. It’s great that your walls are painted in nude color so the prints and patterns are accentuated and emphasized more.
Wow! That is gorgeous. Both my girls would need matching shelves like this! They’d love this though and totally flip if I did this for them!
Congrats on becoming a homeowner. This is a really cute project. It came out great! Can’t wait to see your next project.
I love what you did with the bookcase! I’m 30 and even I would like that set up in my room! 😀
You have such a great sense of style, I love that you used zebra with black and white and pink accents for her room! My daughter has a black and white room too, but she has pops of red instead of pink. Love it!
Very neat! I love using fabric bins too. And I love those canvases. I will check Target for those.
I hope your Tween know how lucky she is! I love the colour scheme and the fabric bins are brilliant.
You did such a great job. I can tell that your daughter love it! LOVE THE DESIGN OF THE STORAGE BOXES.
These are great ways to style up a tween bedroom! It’s time to upgrade my tween’s room so these are great tips.
This is a perfect theme for a tween girls bedroom bookcase. I would mind something similar. lol Thanks for sharing.
You did an awesome job! My daughter would absolutely love something like this! I love the colors and the whale!
Wow, looks awesome. I hope your efforts are appreciated. Looks great!!
Ummmmm need to change this to tween & kid at heard mommy blogger book case because I want this bookcase in my office lol…. Love it!
What do I think? Perfect! Everything blended well together. You did an amazing job!
OMG! My tween has the same theme! What is it about black and zebra stripes? She is totally loving these kinds of decor. Her bookshelves and organizers looks like your post! 🙂
Cuuuuuuute!!! I’m an adult and love this decor. That whale! I need to find that for my bedroom, lol
We did fabric bins for our tween also, they’re really cool. Now we just need to work on getting her to keep the stuff that goes in them, you know, IN THEM. She was really neat as a smaller child but that seems to be falling by the wayside.
I love Zebra prints and I love it combined wit Fuchsia! This is a gorgeous bookcase.
This makeover came out great! It’s so fun and sassy, and your daughter looks so happy with it too!
