Deciding on a bedroom theme on your child is like deciding on the personality of the child isn t it? Today it is all about unicorn, and tomorrow they want a full excavation site of dinosaurs in their room. I can say I have had many round and rounds on this theme carousel, and trust me, some themes don t fit quite well in the parent-friendly theme zone.
You desire something cute enough to make your child squeal with glee, yet functional enough so as when they are bound to change their preferred color three times in a month, you would not lose your mind. These 12 bedroom themes are just a right blend of both kid- interesting magic and adult- interesting sanity. Want to discover something that you can truly love?
Adventure and Exploration Themes
Kids enjoy the idea of being an adventurer and these themes get into that right without turning their room into total chaos.
Safari Adventure Paradise
A safari theme is more or less universal and can develop with your child in a gorgeous way. And envision deep browns, animal prints and lots of green plants (artificial ones are quite acceptable though we are not botanical garden). The easy way to begin is with animal wall decals and go all the way to a reading tent that resembles an African lodge.
The great part of safari themes? they are naturally educational. Your child learns about animals while you get a room that does not look like a cartoon messed up inside of it. Win-win!
Space Exploration Station
Space theme is a classic and it suits children who like science in particular. Dark blues and blacks conceal the dirt rather nicely (thanks, universe), and you can include literally anything in the form of learning, such as constellation charts, and planet models.
I found this out very painfully: do not see anything too bright at nightting unless you want your child believing that some aliens come to visit his or her room each night:)
Enchanted Forest Magic
Nature-Inspired Wonderlands
Those themes of nature produce relaxing backdrops which children and adults both consider pleasant and wonderful.
Enchanted forest theme makes the outdoors come indoors without bugs or the worry of bad weather. Tree wall decals, woodland critters and plenty of greens and browns. A few strands of fairy lights and you now have an enchanted place which is quite unlike an overstimulating area.
This theme changes very well with kids, the younger children are smitten by the animals, but older children also enjoy the element of magic and the parents love how calm it naturally is.
Under the Sea Adventures
Themes of the sea bring infinite options and unexpectedly high levels of colorization. Consider alternate basic blue shades such as teals, corals and seafoam greens. throw in a few wave patterns, some fish wall art and perhaps a jellyfish mobile with coffee filters and some string lights.
The sound aspect is flawlessly used here as well. The Ocean sound machines or smooth wave projectors bring about the most appropriate bedtime ambiance.
Transportation and Movement Themes
Children that enjoy locomotives will also love the dynamic themes which display action and travel.
Aviation Adventures
Airplane themes have been especially transportable to small rooms since it focuses on height and motion. Apply paint clouds to the ceiling, use old aviation posters and wooden models of airplanes conceived as a wall-decoration.
Tip pro: classic aviation imagery is doing so much better than cartoon airplanes. Your little one gets the fun of the ride, but the room is not a daycare.
Classic Car Garage
Vintage car theme will be attractive to children who enjoy vehicles providing parents with a theme which is in fact quite cool. The image of checkered patterns, racing stripes and old car posters come to mind. It is even possible to make a garage-like reading area with storage with the themes of tools.
| Theme Style | Kid Appeal | Parent Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Cartoon cars | High | Low |
| Vintage automotive | Medium-High | High |
Fantasy and Imagination Themes
These types of themes are rather creative but also provide much space to personalize and develop.
Fairy Tale Castle Dreams
Castle themes are suitable to children who are fans of both princesses and knights, or simply medieval history. The trick is to select grown-up hues, such as dark purples, golden yellows, and dark greens rather than all-bubble gum-pink decor.
You can get a castle room with incorporated elements such as a rotated double canopy bed a Stand tower, Polygonally shield-shaped mirrors, Tapestry wall hangings. It’s adult fantasy.
Superhero Headquarters
This is where it all gets wrong by most parents in advance regarding to usage of superheroes, parents prefer using certain characters rather than the overall heroism. Build a feeling of a headquarters, use rough primary colors, skylines of the city, and generic superhero details. That way your kid can choose to be any superhero he or she wants and you do not have to tint your walls with Spider-Man wallpaper just because they have discovered that Batman is cooler.
Literary and Learning Themes
The themes are also fun and educational so that both the parents and their kids are pleased with the use of the room.
Storybook Library Adventure
Reading is commemorated through a library theme, as it makes the place relaxed and intelligent. Consider integrated bookshelves (or shams with book cases), reading crannies with aged maps, and shelves of quotations with Literature.
Add a vintage globe, some book page prints and comfy reading chairs. Your-kid got a space which is for the purpose of learning and also you got something that is nicely done rather than do make up as done.
Around the World Explorer
Travels around the world themes quench the wanderlust without doing geography as homework. Make use of old maps, various nations flags and global artifacts. It is interactive and personal due to placing the world map on which your child can write places that they would love to visit.
The theme looks great with children of all ages: toddlers will adore the colours and shapes, schoolchildren will become interested in other lands, and teenagers will simply drool over the elegance of the worldly theme.
Artistic and Creative Themes
Ideal to children who enjoy creating things, and parents that would like to promote creativity.
Art Studio Sanctuary
With an art studio theme, the bedroom can be relaxing and still a work of art. Imagine easels, art supplies closets used as a decoration, and art walls.
Apply neutral backgrounds, however, having the color pigment bursts using art materials and finished works. As your child develops creatively, the room adapts alongside him/her and there is at all times a suitable place to display their novelty.
Music Room Harmony
Themes in music are perfect among children who like singing, dance, or playing music instruments. Add on musical note wall decals, old-time posters about music, and/or innovative storage opportunities of instruments or music books.
The color scheme can come out strong or faint, depending on your taste: black and white with colorful elements provide you with freedom but do not look vulgar.
Timeless Classic Themes
These themes never dates and suitably fits as children grow and change.
Vintage Circus Wonder
An old circus theme possesses the whimsy that appears not disorganized. Consider pastel shades of red, cream and gold trimmings as opposed to vivid bright primaries. Throw in some vintage circus posters, striped patterns and perhaps even a tent-side reading corner.
The sophistication of this theme might appeal to parents, but they are also kid-friendly with playfulness. Moreover, there are circus themes that stimulate imagination and performance, which is good in case you have a creative kid.
Garden Party Paradise
Among garden themes are making spring indoors all year andthis theme really goes well with children who are inclined to like anything to do with flowers or butterflies or out of doors completely. Employ soft pastels, floral borders and much of what can be described as growing such as wall decals that can be enhanced as they grow.
Garden themes are good looking because they naturally grow with your child, you could add new flowers or characteristics of the yearly seasons..
It is not like the decision to design the bedroom should seem like it may be lasting throughout your life. The most desirable themes are that which allows them to sprout and develop with your child but retain some of the things that you really enjoy being around.
Keep in mind, that it is you who will be reading bedtime stories in this room, assist in doing homework, and having to live with the reality of the room on a day to day basis. Choose something that pleases you and your child both because come to think of it you will most likely end up changing the room anyways.
It all comes together when you can balance that sweeter than sweet spot between your child and their current phase of obsession, and your aesthetic sense of style. In my opinion, themes which have a longest shelf life are themes that give an impression of a joint venture as opposed to the kiddy take over of the design of your home.
First take an element your child loves and create a sophisticated color palette around it, and create layers which can be built upon with time. Sooner than you think, you will have made something that is actually cute and this does not make you wince each time you come in. And honestly? What a victory to shout about!
