Just like with your child, the possibilities are endless when it comes time to decorate your child's bedroom. Creating an atmosphere of fun, energy, learning and relaxation can also be, like your child, challenging. Take off your thinking cap and follow your heart, using your creativity and imagination to create a bedroom you and your child will love.
Sesame Street Themes
Take advantage of the wealth of ideas provided by Sesame Street. Using a hot glue gun, attach straw and silk vines and leaves to a kiddie plastic pool to create a Big Bird's nest toy box. Use two Ernie's rubber duckies as bookends. Use feather boas, rhinestones and faux pearls to create window treatments Miss Piggy would leave Kermit the Frog for. Add plaques of numbers and letters as wall art to make your child's bedroom a place for learning instead of just a place for playing and sleeping.
Nick Jr. and Noggin Themes
Use Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go and The Wonder Pets to create a fun bedroom for your child. Use bedding, wall decals and other décor available at discount stores to bring your child's favorite television character(s) into their bedroom. Trace your child's favorite characters on the bedroom walls and paint them, creating a mural.
Animal Themes
Use your child's favorite animals to decorate their bedroom. Hang paintings and pictures of dogs on the walls. Use bedding covered in horses. Make curtains from fabrics with prints of cats or birds. Place figurines of your child's favorite animals on the night stand, desk and floating shelves. Add a wallpaper border around your child's bedroom with barnyard or jungle animals on it.
Sports Themes
Create a bedroom from your child's favorite sport. Make drawer pulls from the end of the handle of a baseball bat. Glue several hockey pucks together to make book ends. Hang a soccer net on the wall to hold toys and books. Hang posters of Olympic gymnasts on the walls. Attach basketballs to both a base and a table top to create a nightstand.
Personal Interest Themes
Use your child's individual interests to create a bedroom just for them. Create a shadow and display toe shoes and ballet performance ticket stubs in the bedroom of a little girl who loves ballet. Paint a train track border on the wall for the little boy interested in trains. Mix fairy dust (glitter) into the paint used on the furniture or walls for the little girl who loves fairies and princesses. Add a miniature workbench that can double as an art table for the little boys who likes to use tools.
