Ahoy Mateys! Your young swashbuckler will go overboard with a pirate theme bedroom. For inspiration, think of treasure chests, treasure maps, sharks, palm trees, cannons, the open sea, parrots, whales, gold coins, sailboats, skulls and crossbones, swords and seagulls. There are a variety of ways these items can be incorporated into a pirate theme bedroom.
There are many pirate comforters, quilts and bedding sets available. An internet search will provide you with several options of adorable pirate bedding, coordinating sheets, pirate rugs, curtains and wall art.
I recommend purchasing the bedding first, and use this as inspiration for the colour the walls will be painted. Walls can be painted white, which provides a simple backdrop for artwork, murals or decals. Walls can also be painted a rich ocean blue, sky blue and dotted with white clouds. A darker blue along the bottom can create the feeling of the ocean, and the lighter blue above, the feeling of the sky. You can paint on sharks, sunken treasure chests, fish, gold coins, a small island and seagulls.
A few Creative Ideas for a Pirate Theme Room
1. Create a mural with a seascape on the wall, by applying a blue sky and water. An island can be painted in the distance, as well as a ship and seagulls. Another option is to purchase a seascape mural and apply directly to the wall. The mural can be left as is, or cut into a circular shape, with a circular border painted around it, to create a porthole view. Pirate wall paper or borders can be purchased. Another good idea is to paint a sunken pirate ship mural on the wall. Tattered flags can be used as window treatments.
2. There is pirate wall art that can be purchased with bedding sets. Another option would be to browse through magazines and books and cut out images to be framed. These pirate inspired images can then be framed and hung on the walls, or arranged on dressers and shelves.
3. Try taking a black lampshade, and paint a big red X on it using acrylic paint, or a navy blue lampshade and paint a skull and crossbones on the surface. A wood toy box can be converted into a treasure chest with chains and adding a rough texture to the surface with sandpaper or perhaps a spackle paint.
4. Create a treasure map. You can apply a treasure map to plain white or creme curtains with fabric paint. Treasure maps can be painted directly on the wall, on paper, or paper bags. You can purchase island theme decor, such as parrots, palm trees, jolly roger flags and more. Many of these items can be found during Halloween.
5. Fake gold coins can be glued to a lampshade, walls, dressers or a treasure chest. A treasure chest makes a wonderful storage unit for toys. Make sure you place a small lock on it, to add to the theme.
6. Pirate theme throw cushions, lamps, and area rugs add to the look. You can paint a skull and cross bone's flag, parrots, or pirates on dressers.
I hope you have found these tips helpful. Have fun!
