Themed Bedrooms
If you’re tired of the nightly battle to get your kids ready for bed, we’ve got the perfect solution for you.
Themed bedrooms are a fun way to make bedtime exciting and fuel their imagination. Whether it’s magical worlds or race cars, tailoring their room to their interests can turn bedtime into something they actually look forward to.
Space Adventure Theme
If your child holds a special fondness for the cosmos surprise them with a space adventure-themed bedroom. Not only will it help ignite their imagination but it’ll also make their bedtime a whole lot exciting.
Glow in the Dark stars with planet murals on the wall captures the perfect picture of a far-off world, creating an imaginary escape for the kids.
Under the Sea Theme
Fill up your kid’s bedroom with an ocean-blue color that’ll remind them of the calming hues of the sea. Seaweed decals, waves painted on the wall, with fish drawings make up for an amazing sea scene.
If you want to take things to the next level, set up a toy pirate ship in the corner of the room. Your kid is bound to love this addition.
Fairy Tale Castle Theme
If you have a child who’s fond of fairies, transform their bedroom into a fairy-tale castle haven with a magical atmosphere. Paint the walls with deep purple castles and a dragon soaring nearby.
For a fun twist on lighting, use wand-shaped lamps, and decorate the room with crowns, shields, and other enchanted touches.
Jungle Themed Bedroom
If your kid loves Mowgli, they’ll adore a bedroom area with a jungle theme. Start by covering up the wall with a chalkboard mural of a giraffe and bamboo.
A hanging hammock makes up for a fun and playful seating option. A collection of stuffed animals and real plants in the room helps sell the overall jungle theme.
Captain America
Who loves the Avengers? Maybe not you, but your kids probably do. Turn their room into Captain America’s headquarters.
Captain America-themed bedding, cushions, and an Avengers poster on the wall are great starting points. Pair these with an Avengers-themed curtain and fill the shelves with Captain America spaceships and other superhero accents.
Pirate Ship Theme
A thrilling pirate ship-themed bedroom will be a dream come true for kids who love pirate adventures. A bed that looks like a real pirate ship with a sail and steering wheel goes well with the theme.
However, such a bed might not be comfortable for sleeping. Therefore, you can set up a pirate ship in the corner of a room with some wall hangings to capture the essence without overwhelming the entire room.
Camping Adventure
Paint the walls with a deep green color, that helps capture the adventurous and camping-inspired atmosphere. Go all out with a bed shaped like a tent canopy and illuminate it with a lantern.
Orange and green makeup for a good combination, adding a vibrant touch to the room. A built-in wardrobe with orange doors and green-colored storage boxes is perfect for storing your child’s belongings.
Magical Unicorn Theme
The main features of the unicorn-themed bedroom are colorful hues, sparkling details, rainbows, clouds, and the list goes on. For a magical atmosphere, decorate the room with a unicorn-themed bed with a colorful mane and vibrant details.
However, if you want to keep things low-key, go for bedding with rainbow colors, decorate the wall with unicorn art, and add unicorn accents to the shelves.
Hello Kitty
Every little girl has a special relationship with Hello Kitty and rightly so. The pink headband and cute features can easily make you fall in love with these plush toys.
Turn your daughter’s bedroom into a Hello Kitty haven with a themed bedroom, pink bedding, and oversized plush toys. The room should be painted in a light pink color and make sure everything is cheerful.
Dinosaur Discovery
If you want to turn your child’s bedroom into an ultimate discovery ground, base the room on a dinosaur discovery theme.
Floor-to-ceiling moss green curtains coupled with a fake grass corner in one corner will add fun to the room. Dinosaur-themed toys, bookshelves, and bedding in the bedroom will further play into the theme.
Transportation Theme
You can make your kid’s room exciting with a transportation-themed bedroom. Start with a car-shaped bedroom that will make bedtime much more fun and you won’t have to force your kids to get ready for bed anymore.
Talk about killing two birds with one stone. Roadway rugs, with car-themed desk decor, will help tie the look together.
DIY Theme Decor
You can also add DIY elements to your kid’s room for a magical and creative touch. Start with a basic bed frame and paint their favorite cartoons on it and the walls.
Try printable wall art, or cut out stars, leaves, and other fun shapes to decorate the space. Involve your kids in the process, they’ll love every minute of it.
Budget Constraints
Setting up a themed bedroom is not cheap. It tends to be more expensive than a simple sophisticated design. You need to plan out every aspect and make sure your priorities are in a set order.
Printable decals are the perfect option to add vibrant and theme-specific designs to your walls without the need for costly custom artwork. Thrift stores are full of used furniture and decor items available at budget-friendly rates.
Safety First
A themed bedroom can be a great new addition but you also need to take safety considerations into account. Make sure the wall hangings are firmly secured to the wall and it’s preferable if the furniture has soft-round edges.
Small items that can prove to be choking hazards should be avoided. Decorate the room with age-appropriate toys.

Football Fanatic
Create a football-themed bedroom for your kid to celebrate their passion for the sport. To begin with, go for bedding that features bold patterns, team mascots, and other football-themed designs.
Decorating the wall with your kid’s favorite athletes’ murals, stadium scenes, or even simple football pictures will work too. If you want to set up the perfect football bedroom for your kids, give The Ultimate Football Fan Bedroom a read.
