One of the most popular children's bedroom decorating themes for little boys is without a doubt, the transportation theme including trains, planes and automobiles. By using some of the eight simple ideas provided in this article, you can complete your bedroom transformation in no time!
Find a wall border that includes a transportation motif.
There are tons of options out there for wall borders that include planes, trains and automobiles. The most complicated part of choosing is deciding what color scheme you would like to incorporate into the room design.
Use wooden wainscotting below the chair rail.
This is an quick way to add an instant style statement to your room decor. Simply install a wooden wainscotting below the chair rail and paint it in a color that coordinates well with your wall border. For an even more cost effective option, consider using a faux wood or barn siding wallpaper as a substitute.
Select a bedding style and color that complements your design.
You can find wonderful deals at your local discount stores and online when making your bedding purchase. Many department stores will offer the individual bedding pieces in solid colors, so you can mix and match to create your own customized options.
Use a inexpensive wooden table and chairs as a room accent.
These can be purchased very inexpensively at your local bargain stores. Also, you can sometimes pick one of the sets up at a garage sale or local thrift store and give it new life by simply adding a new coat of fresh paint. For an interesting twist, try painting the table and chairs in several colors that coordinate with your room theme.
Create your own room accents.
You can create your own stop light out of foam core while getting your child involved in the process. Simply cut a rectangle and three circles out of foam core. Have your child paint the rectangle black, one circle red, one circle yellow and one circle green. Let your child assist you in gluing the circles to the vertical rectangle to create their traffic light. Hang the foam core sign on the wall as an easy room decor accent.
Use banks as bookends.
You can easily find car shaped banks at our local discount stores or online. Place them on alternate ends of your stash of books for an instant set of bookends. They will double as banks and help your child learn to have his pennies. These banks are readily available in plastic or ceramic.
Use left over wall border to make custom room accents.
Cut out some of the planes, trains and automobiles that are featured in your wall border and glue the cut outs onto lamp shades, decoupage a plain trash can, decorate a bulletin board or make your own artwork by framing the pieces.
Finish your bedroom theme with accessories.
Use model or toy trains and place them about the room. Find model or toy airplanes and set them on dressers or hang them from fish wire from the ceiling to complete your bedroom transformation.
Any of these eight ideas, or even all of them, are fabulous money saving alternatives when creating a stylish transportation themed bedroom decor.
