7 Great Decorating Ideas for your Children’s Bedroom …

If you are anything like an average parent, you are probably spending a lot of time thinking about the perfect little bedroom for your kid. Regular is so passé, not to mention yawn, boring! For your kids, it has to be nothing less than the best and something out of the ordinary, right? However, if you are still stuck with ideas of cute looking teddy bears piled up high on the headboard these 7 decorating ideas for your children’s bedroom are going to hit you like a breath of fresh air. Let’s get started and put together one hell of a bedroom for your kid!

1. The Outdoor Camp & Hiking Theme

Did your kids have a wonderful time at the last camp they attended? In that case, choose a rustic, outdoorsy theme for their bedroom. Start with pine or log bunk beds with flannel fabrics and plaid patterns, and put up pictures of wild animals, trees, and plants on the wall or choose a forest-themed wallpaper.

2. Cartoon & Movie Characters

Although this sounds a tad bit clichéd, it’s an evergreen theme that almost all children love. And, with the ever growing concept of merchandising, it’s easy to come by lamps, linen, bedding, towels, and memorabilia of your kid’s favorite character from movies or animation.

3. Sports

Yet another theme you can never go wrong with. What kid doesn’t like sports? Take your pick – baseball, football, soccer, basketball – and go wild with all kinds of sporty ideas. Paint the room in the colors of your kids’ favorite team and display trophies, gloves and pictures of famous sportsman on the wall. What a great decorating idea for their bedroom, right?

4. Sunny Green Valley

Kids love a bright and sunny theme, so paint a mural of lush green hills on the wall with the rays of the sun peeping over their tops. Compliment this by using yellow quilts and bedding and green rugs to create the feel of grass. As an extra special addition, paint the ceiling a soft sky blue.

5. The Wild Color Theme

If your kid has a bright and vibrant personality, why should you stick with any one particular shade in the color wheel? Use the entire wheel as an inspiration. Start by throwing in a brightly colored area rug in your kids’ room. And from there on you have the permission to go as wild as you choose with colors. Paint drawer fronts, chair legs, headboard slates and the surface of bookcases with different colors. It will be one dazzling display for sure!

6. The Stars & Moons Theme

Another wonderful decorating idea is the night sky! Stars and moons can be a very soft and soothing décor for your kids’ bedroom. Paint the ceiling a deep midnight blue and stick some glow-in-the-dark stars on it. In addition, you could buy rubber stamps shaped as stars and make a starry border along the wall. Paint the bookshelf and cupboard a pale white and enliven it up by painting shooting stars with silver paint.

7. The Magical Fairy Theme

Okay, this one will probably appeal more to your daughter than your son. But, it’s too cute a decorating idea to miss out on. Against a backdrop of fluffy clouds or a magical jungle, paint fairy shapes with sheer wings and magic wands in lavenders, icy pinks and light blues. Incorporate a lot of sparkly elements in the upholstery, accents, and furniture. Your fairy princess will absolutely love this room!
