Kids' Rooms: 10 Themes cool perenially for children's bedtime - You start with good intentions. A serene white nursery with just a couple of carefully positioned, wooden toys or old knitted animals. Maybe a teddy bear artfully displayed or two. Then, gradually, something happens. Aside from the growing mountain of plastic gadgets, and toddlers who simply refuse to store, our children begin to develop their own domestic ideas.
They (probably) do not care about taste, they do not care about good design, they just want their environment to be bold, bright, gay and just plain fun. How to please both parties and to avoid a sea of pink or sickly football memorabilia walls? The answer is to find a theme that you can both agree. Here are some ideas that the big kids and little kids will enjoy.

A massive rocket . Aliens. prohibited planets. What there is not to like? The walls of this room were painted in navy blue for the full effect "of deep space." - Sure to please mini-astronauts grass is mixed only with white and red, and the color palette limited stops feeling too busy room. I'm in love with the tent standout rocket / bunk bed and world globes and red stencils on the wall.

Woodland
deep, dark forests are a timeless tale setting, and a woodland theme works beautifully in the room of a small child. Here the idea was followed through toadstool and log seats, a complete tree with drooping branches and more-if you look carefully even magical poisoned apples and a frog waiting to be kissed.
The 3D grass and tree trunk wall decorations are a smart alternative to wall decals or stencils. Consider getting laser cut Perspex your own design. Search online for companies that can help you.

floral
flowers are a perennial favorite in the children's rooms, but do not assume that you must go for discrete strands or wilted flowers. This floral wallpaper is bold, bright and beautiful, and just retro enough to have a lot of attitude. Look out for bed linen which has a similar floral theme bold. Also note the dark magenta, as opposed to a more bland pink.

robots
There is something so amusingly retro yet futuristic robots on. The classic representation has not changed since the 1970s, which is probably why they are one thing with trigger nostalgia 'kidults', also. Beware of robots on cushions, bed linen, prints and wall stickers, or go for a mural like this. Do not forget to display vintage clockwork robots on shelves, too.

nautical theme room is classic boys, but I expect it is equally cool for girls. The burden is on white, blue and red, with a few stripes, anchors and nautical accessories thrown. Here, double berth with a magical sailing for the child's bed ultimate cost. Aye aye captain.

Geographical
a large map, mural is a classic touch in a child's room - colorful and fun, but educational, too. Kids love to draw adventures and this will help them learn new names and countries. It is also likely to appeal to both older children and younger. In this room, the wall map works brilliantly with the lockers in vintage style metal, wooden crates and animal heads "stuffed" fun.

crazy bright
for a modern theme that appeals grown-ups as well as small and can be easily modified to suit different steps, choose a neutral background and accessorize with brights. These Lego storage more brick dimensions are fun and very convenient to store toys, while woven poufs, panel geometric wallpaper, blue chair and Teepee all add to a games room which is simply cool.

superhero
as the films prove, superheroes never go out of fashion, whether with children or adults, and for good reason. Here, framed vintage comic covers, cartoon cushions and, of course, spectacular urban wall create a distinct atmosphere Gotham City. There is no end superhero bed linen sets around; the trick is to mitigate them with other accessories, like this bright red cover.
