Home Style Decorating

Design your child’s bedroom can be a lot of fun but should not only be seen by the child as a place to sleep and rest but will also stimulate him and spark his creativity. The following are some children’s bedroom theme that will surely wow your child as well as inspire him.

1. Library in the clouds
For children who love to keep their noses buried in books, room will be heaven. As parents of little bookworms know, book collections often outgrow their bookshelves. The solution is to have storage spaces and shelves that are multi-functional to store the child’s books as well as his toys. You can paint the walls and ceiling with cloud murals for added effect. Oversized floor pillows and window seat create cozy reading nooks where a child can dive solo into her favorite story or cuddle up with a parent for some quality reading time.

2. Under the sea
Your little marine enthusiast will treasure this under-the-sea adventure room, complete with a gnarly surfing headboard and a treasure-chest bed. But the children’s room mural is the star of the show in this water wonderland. When a child walks in the room and shuts his door, he feels, literally, like he’s underwater. The captain’s bed hides a wealth of booty inside.

3. Come sail away
Dock your little captain in this cool-breeze nautical room, where he or she can sail away anytime into dreamland.The boat bed anchors the room, but accessories, such as the nautical flags and architectural sailboat sketches, will drive learning and curiosity about sailing, navigation and seaside communications.

4. Beyond blastoff
Amateur astronauts will be over-the-moon with this outer space theme room. From the meteorite beanbags to the starry fiber optic ceiling, no detail should be overlooked in this planetary paradise. Another key to the full effect of the room is the outer space mural that is painted on the wall. A wall of white cabinets will brighten the room and add storage space. To complete the entire theme, add in a sparking fiber optic show on the ceiling.

5. Wild, Wild West
Wow your child with this Wild West bungalow, complete with a teepee canopy.  Parents can decorate and educate by displaying a series of maps showing the nation’s acquisition of the Western states, and take the opportunity to talk with older children about the plight of the Native Americans during the Western movement. Native American symbols on the teepee can be carried as a theme throughout the room, as well: paint them as a border or hang artistic representations as stand-alone art pieces.

If a child’s love of the Old West is more about mares and less about manifest destiny, saddle up the room with horseback riding accessories. An equine-loving child will have a galloping good time decorating with horseshoes, cowboy boots or even a saddle chair. Brighten up the room with colorful bandana-patterned lamp shades or sheets to add a burst of color while staying true to the horse-loving theme.

6. Fantasy fairyland
This room is all about imagination and fantasy. With its fun femininity, it’s sure to delight any little girl who loves stories of faraway lands and happy endings. But the marriage of practicality with whimsy isn’t just a dream here. The daybed has a trundle for sleepovers, and an opposite wall features a built-in desk area. The mural on the walls depicts a fairy-tale land, complete with glitter-glazed paints and a personalized portrait of the little girl who lives in the room. The brightly colored geometric print on the bedspread and fabulously frou-frou canopy set the stage for a little girl’s imagination.

7. Naturally grown
For pint-sized naturalists, the world is one big mystery. Just like plants, giving little earth enthusiasts the right environment will allow them to bloom and grow. This kids’ room theme is fertile ground for little gardeners and nature lovers. The combination of chalkboard, pegboard and corkboard wall modules allows children to keep organized and jot down ideas or artistic inspirations while also giving them a place to display plant charts, insect photos or their own creative creatures. On the floor, the Schoolhouse Storage Cubbies feature storage solutions for budding brains. Keeping seeds, nature guides and bug books organized will become natural with drawers as well as a wide-open shelf. Adding a window box where children can cultivate plants will delight growing gardeners, so an attractive all-weather rug underneath the dirt-filled delights may be a bright idea.

8. Brainy builders
Play is the building block of childhood learning and this room is an architecturally inclined child’s wonderland. LEGO boards cover a wall of this room, from floor to ceiling. The child’s ability to impact the basic architecture of the play area by building on the wall is a large part of the appeal. Everything a child builds becomes an integral part of the play-space architecture until a new construction is made. The room also features small cube-shaped pillows, adding to the building adventure. Kids can build their own environments to play in and on. For older children who might not enjoy primary-colored LEGO walls but who have a more mature understanding of design, find old blueprints and frame them for a sophisticated architectural environment.

9. Around the world
The earth is a very big place, and your child will experience the wonders of the world while tucked away in this global room. Maps on the walls and as furniture embellishments will give your child visions of wide open spaces beyond their home, while the compass rose mosaic theme on the furniture carries the cartography theme across the room. Parents can explore the learning power of this theme further by decorating the walls with large maps of different continents, or by painting a directionally accurate compass on the ceiling.

10. Pint-sized Picasso
Crayon marks adorning the coffee table and paint splatters on the kitchen floor may be the first signs of a budding artist in the home, but as children grow older and want to channel their artistic endeavors into less destructive and more wall-worthy productions, finding a way to integrate art into their space can be a challenge. This room manages to present appealing canvases without room chaos. An easel in the corner allows little painters to watercolor in a dedicated space, containing any mess. The art table with a built-in paper roll encourages a little scribbler to indulge his or her latest artistic aspiration, while a cable attached to the window becomes not only a gallery for fine art, but also serves as a drying area for wet projects.

For parents who have more wall space than floor area, chalkboard and magnetic paint available at home improvement stores will give your pint-sized Picasso a creative canvas without hogging precious square footage. An easy-to-clean wood laminate floor is a great idea in any child’s room, but in an artist’s bungalow its utility is almost a necessity. Choose a high traffic-rated floor and buy extra in case a replacement panel is needed.
