Theme Decorating your Child’s Room

Posted on 28. Oct, 2007 by Mom Mag in Your Home

Kids love decorations and love having their rooms decorated with a theme! It can be anything from their favorite sports teams to their favorite super heroes.  Do they have a favorite animal or a favorite color? Or a favorite fairy tale character perhaps? Kids love to be surrounded by their favorite things in life and will love it if you decorate their room for them. If you have a daughter you might think of doing girly themes such as butterflies, ballerinas, nature and tea party type themes. Your son might enjoy something a bit more masculine such as his favorite sports team, super hero, or animals.

Some ideas for a Girl theme include:

*If your little girl has a great love for nature and the beach you might be able to create a beautiful ocean on their wall and have star fish, sand, boats and shells painted into the design. You could paint a light blue for the ocean and have a sandy color on the floor. If the ceiling is white it could appear to be like clouds. If your daughter has always loved the beach, she will fall in love with this design!

*A moonlight or starry night theme might be great for your girl. She will sleep under the stars and dream big. There are many products on the market to create this theme and you can even use glow in the dark stars for that extra glowing effect. This is a theme that both boys and girls love and it is available in a variety of colors. You can create a solar system on the system I you want. A moonlight theme can also be quite dreamy.

*If your girl is into all the pretty things and color then she might like a design full of cute animals, flowers or butterflies. You can buy a variety of stencils to make her room look extra girly! A nice added touch is to add some soft curtains around the windows.

Some ideas for Boy Themes include:

*Boys might favor insects and reptiles. They might like an insect theme with varieties of bugs all over the walls. You could design and paint the room with a mix of greens, browns and blues. Black is not a good color for a child’s room.

*They might like their favorite animal plastered across their walls whether it is a giraffe or polar bear.

*For younger boys, or boys who have hobbies, a variety of toy themes are available. You could decorate their room with planes, trains and automobiles.

*A safari theme has been as all time favorite for boys and they love the sense of adventure they feel when they are in their room. The colors can be ivory, tan, blue and you might be able to find some jungle wallpaper. What an adventure! You can also change it a bit and make it a rainforest!
