subject: Redecorating Your Child's Room With Surfboard Decorations [print this page] If you are looking for a cool and fun theme for your kid's room and they love summer vacation at the beach or are a surfing fan, then you can't go wrong with surf decorations. It brings life and color to the room as well a unique feel to the room, not the regular cartoon characters or Superheroes that seem to be in most kids' rooms today.
Nothing says surf like a surfboard and you can pick up used ones for a fraction of the cost at surf shops, flea markets, and even online. With a few brackets it's easy to turn that surfboard into a wall shelf or if you are really handy, replace the top of a desk with a surfboard. If your child is a surfer, hang their board on the wall, both as a decorative piece and as a place to store their board when not in use.
Turn the walls into their own ocean, complete with a few crashing waves, with a bit of blue and white paint. After painting the walls an ocean blue, sweeping the brush up the wall with white paint will give you the wave effect. Using rag painting will give you some smaller waves and if you are not comfortable with large strokes, then this may be the best option for you. When you choose curtains, keep them light and airy, white with straight lines would complement the walls nicely.
Beach towels are not only the perfect addition to hang on the wall or drape somewhere, but you can use one to upholster a chair in the room. No beach theme is complete without at least one beach towel in the mix.
Decorating the walls with their favorite surfer or just surfing and beach posters will add color and keep to the surf decorating style of the room. Think about hanging some beach signs too, you can find new and vintage styles in shops and online.
Add a bit of fun with novelty items. You can find a variety of different surf and beach related items that would match the room perfectly. A surfboard print light switch plate, a surfboard shaped wall clock and a few surfboard wall hooks for their coats and hats are just a few of the very cool things out there to choose from.
And, don't forget the bedding; No room is complete without some surf themed bedding. This is where you and your child can really have fun as there are many designs out there to choose from. Let them choose their favorite surfer, just a basic surfing design or even beach themed bedding will work well to match the rest of the room.
