Themed bedroom décor is also a good idea for babies and toddlers. It can work as their first learning experience in the world. Kid’s bedroom décor can also express their interests. For example, if the child is interested in art, painting, dressing up etc, their bedroom could be built around a vibrant, colorful theme that would get those creative juices flowing, from an early age. The theme would help the child grow into a unique, comfortable and proud individual.
Sometimes, children find it difficult to sleep in their own bed. They sleep in their own beds but end up waking up on their parents bed in the morning. In such cases the theme personalizes the room and makes them feel that the room is theirs, a place that they want to come home to. Themes also work as something that helps when the kids start sleeping in their own bed.
It is important to keep the children’s preferences in mind when choosing a theme for their b
bedroom. As parents we are concerned with the thread count and the sheen of the sheets but kids don’t care about these things. Kids want interesting, vibrant and exciting bedding. Simple percale sheets with thread counts as low as 120-180 are readily accepted by most kids, as long as the sheets have colorful patterns or their favorite characters printed on them.
Many kids like bedding with themes portraying characters from the latest movie. However parents should keep in mind that their kids would like new characters as soon as another new movie releases. Moreover the age of the kid should also be taken into consideration while choosing bedding.
For instance, a very young child may like Teletubbies but a couple of years later, he may not like them and the bedding may be discarded before using it to its maximum potential. So this decision should be taken after much deliberation. Instead of choosing a movie character, characters from popular television series or cartoons can be used.
Some timeless themes that can be used for kid’s bedrooms are:
Disney characters have a certain magic that people of all age have felt. Disney bedding can be a great way to introduce timeless Disney characters to the kids. Bedding based on mickey mouse, Minnie and goofy have a charm that none can deny. Winnie the Pooh, Trigger the tiger and Mowgli from the jungle book would keep the kids enthralled.
Little girls would simply adore princess bedding featuring Disney’s Ariel; the little mermaid or Jasmine; Aladdin’s lady love. Boys would love bedding featuring characters from Disney’s Cars, Toy Story, Monsters Inc. etc. Apart from Bedding the entire room can be accessorized based on the chosen characters. Wall stickers, Lamp shades, clocks, stationery etc based on popular Disney characters are available in the market.
Bedding based on Super heroes:
Kids love super heroes. Characters such as Spider man, Iron man, Incredible Hulk, Super man, Bateman, Wolverine and the X-men, Fantastic Four etc hold a lot of appeal for kids in the age group of 7 and above. Kids idolize these characters and bedding based on their favorite action figures would make them even happier. Imagine sleeping with the feeling that their superhero would protect them from those ghastly nightmares.
Apart from themed sheets, duvets, comforters and pillow cases, other bedroom accessories featuring superheroes can be used to complete the larger than life look of the room. Using attractive wallpapers, murals, stencils, huge stickers, posters, customized furniture, lamps, drapes etc is a good idea.
For those who don’t want character based themes for their kid’s bedrooms, many wonderful ideas are available on the internet and the local bed and bath stores. Animals, butterflies, frogs, and nature, featuring simple shapes and patterns, are good places to start and are great themes to expand upon later. Nowadays themed bedding for kids is available as bed in a bag sets. They make a great option in terms of convenience and cost.
