Kids tend to have vast imaginations and by enabling them to express this in their own space you can encourage their creativity. By creating a space based on their own interests you can ensure they will delight in spending time in there. Having a themed room can provide endless fun. There are a number of ways to introduce a theme into a child’s room whether it be through furniture, accessories, wall decor or a themed bed frame itself.
An under the sea theme can work really well for both boys and girls as you can tailor it specifically to your child’s interests. For example, if they are a fan of mermaids you can include some elements of this in their bedding or soft furnishings; similarly, if they enjoy sharks or pirates. A good base for an under the sea theme is a pale blue wall or sea themed wallpaper. You can then build on this with pictures of fish and other sea creatures.
Dinosaurs always hold so much fascination for children;
creating a theme based around them will ensure a fantasy world they can admire
and enjoy. Some creative ways to incorporate the Jurassic theme is to create a
wall mural either with paint or stickers or introduce dinosaurs through your
choice of bedding. It is likely that if your child desires a dino themed room
that they are a fan already, so why not utilise what you already have and
decorate with some of their favourite toys.
A safari theme is a fun and popular choice for a kid’s room,
there are a variety of patterned bed spreads and cushions which compliment the
theme perfectly. A patterned wallpaper works great for a safari theme, particularly
when paired with an authentic wooden floor and a fun rug. Similar to the
dinosaur theme, you can always incorporate toys into the rooms decor and use
them as accessories. To make use of the wall space, get creative and paint
animals or a background image such as rocks, a river or grassland.
Sport themed kids’ rooms are nothing revolutionary but are
still a great way to allow your little ones personality and interests shine
through their bedroom design. Let them choose their favourite sport or team,
and there will likely be plenty of themed bedding and wallpapers related to it.
For example, football fans can choose from a wide range of bedding, wall
stickers and themed-accessories, such as clocks. If they play for a team and
have won any medals or trophies from tournaments, make room to display their
silverware! If you want to go all out, you can even get football pitch
wallpaper.
The fairy-tale theme is a broad one; it can be interpreted
as a more generic prince or princess theme or, can take inspiration from your
child’s favourite fairy-tale, such as Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast. There
are plenty of fantastic additions that will really bring a fairy-tale princess
themed room to life, from dainty fairy lights to draping a pale pink throw over
your child’s room, accessories will help to transform their bedroom into a
magical sleep haven.
This theme is similar to the under the sea theme, but this
time above the water! This is a great theme for both boys and girls and is sure
to age well. A great way to decorate for this theme is with shells and nautical
accessories; you can even create jars with stones and sand collected from different
beaches that you have visited to add a personal touch!
