Decorating Your Child"s Bedroom With Surfer Decor
If you are looking for a cool and fun theme for your kid's room and they love summer vacation at the beach or are a surfing fan, then you can't go wrong with surf decorations. It brings life and color to the room as well a unique feel to the room, not the regular cartoon characters or Superheroes that seem to be in most kids' rooms today.
When you think of the beach you think of surfing, so what is more natural than a few real surfboards to use in the transformation? Surf shops and flea markets usually have some used ones lying around at a cheap cost to you. Turn one into a wall shelf with a few brackets installed in the wall. Take another and turn it into a tabletop for a desk. If you have a surfer kid, this is a perfect opportunity to hang their own on the wall off season.
Turn the walls into their own ocean, complete with a few crashing waves, with a bit of blue and white paint. After painting the walls an ocean blue, sweeping the brush up the wall with white paint will give you the wave effect. Using rag painting will give you some smaller waves and if you are not comfortable with large strokes, then this may be the best option for you. When you choose curtains, keep them light and airy, white with straight lines would complement the walls nicely.
Beach towels are not only the perfect addition to hang on the wall or drape somewhere, but you can use one to upholster a chair in the room. No beach theme is complete without at least one beach towel in the mix.
For a great old school surfer decor vibe, look for some signs to hang on the walls, maybe even the door. Online or in the local surf shops you'll be able to find a lot of vintage beach signs if your child prefers those to the newer styles today. If your kid loves posters, a poster or two of a surfing scene or the beach will dress up the walls too.
Add a bit of fun with novelty items. You can find a variety of different surf and beach related items that would match the room perfectly. A surfboard print light switch plate, a surfboard shaped wall clock and a few surfboard wall hooks for their coats and hats are just a few of the very cool things out there to choose from.
Bedding today is all about themes and pulls a room together nicely. You'll find there will be a large selection for you to choose from in many different colorful or even subtle designs. Let your son or daughter pick out their favorite here, whether it is surfboards, a beach scene or even their favorite surfer.
