Wall Name Art

• Wall name art decorates as well as teaches. One of the first things a kid learns is how to spell his name. A wall name is a fun way to teach him to spell his name. Put the letters of his name on the wall in various colors and designs. You and your child can construct your own with some construction paper and finger paint or buy them with different patterns and borders from a home décor store.
  
  

Flower Garden Fantasy Room

• Your little girl can enjoy an indoor oasis that feels like the outdoors. Decorate her room like a garden, complete with white picket fences, living flowers and country-style furniture. Paint a picket fence on the walls along with a garden mural scene. Choose colors and flowers for the rest of the room that match the wall mural. Using real flowers can also be a method of teaching her some responsibility. You can let her water them on her own and move them to windows with more sunlight. Draw up a chart for her to follow and she can learn the days of the week as well.
  
  

Spaceship

• A cool idea for boy's bedroom decorations is to decorate the bedroom as if it were the interior of a spaceship. You can draw inspiration from any number of movies or television shows. You can even paint the walls with midnight blue paint and splash yellow or white speckles on it to represent far reaching stars in the universe. Turn the headboard into the control panel for the ship. Organize his toys and clothes in compartments with buttons painted on then so he has to punch in his imaginary code to get his space suit (school clothes) every morning. Transform the bathroom door entrance into a teleportation machine door.
  
  

Family Heirlooms

• If you come from a family with very old history, your child's bedroom may be a place to honor that history, teach her about it and start a tradition of passing family history along for generations. Look for some very brightly colored fun pieces of furniture scattered around your attic, your grandparent's attics or in the homes of some of your older relatives. Gather those pieces even if they have a little damage because of age or wear and tear. Antique pieces may even be sturdier than some new pieces that you can buy at furniture stores today. You can get damaged pieces refurbished, add a coat of paint to brighten up gloomy pieces and turn them into new creations.
