Most kids love to go camping. Giving a child camping-themed bedroom using camp beds allows him to go camping every day in his own room. A camping-themed room should contain decor that makes the room almost seem to be outside. Parents should involve their children in the plans for transforming the room; it will give them a great sense of pride and ownership in the room if they participate in the redecorating process.
If you already have an inflatable camp bed mattress then your job is already half done. However, if you are looking for a reliable air camp bed for your kid’s use, you can go online and check out some wonderful sites that offer these at special prices. Once you have the bed you can design the rest of the room. Here are a few tips to help you out.
Make a plan for the walls. Walls may stay neutral or they may be incorporated into the theme by painting an outdoor mural or by using camp-themed wallpaper or wallpaper borders. Some ideas for wallpaper include patterns that feature animals such as moose, bears, raccoons, squirrels or fish, or wallpaper that looks like logs or an outdoor scene.
Furniture for a camping-themed room should be a wood finish. Rustic-looking log or pine beds work nicely in a camp-themed room. If space allows, add a picnic table that can be used for eating snacks, completing art projects and doing homework.
You can also use folding cots if you have one and use that as your main camp bed. The next thing you need to do is to choose the bed linens. The best choices for linens include plaid flannel linens or linens with pictures of common forest animals, fresh-water fish or bugs. Choose linens with bold colors such as red and blue.
Attach a tent to the camp bed to make the bed itself appear to be a tent, or place a tent on the floor in a large open space in the bedroom. Camping accents may include camp-themed art, real or synthetic potted plants, lantern-styled lamps, glow-in-the-dark stars for the ceiling and actual outdoor objects such twigs, branches and pine cones. Use silk leaves to decorate curtain rods by attaching them using hot glue. You now have a certified camp themed room where your kids can have fun hanging out.
