Create Your Own Twilight Bedroom Theme!

28November

The Twilight series are a rising sensation – particularly amongst girls.  The deep romance and passion of the story, coupled with the adventure the plot takes the reader on is addictive – even for adults.

Is your daughter in love with Eward Cullen?  Does she imagine herself as Bella Swan?

Imagine if you would create a “Twilight” style bedroom for your daughter!  Imagine her being the envy of her friends, and her bedroom becoming the place to hang out.  With Christmas around the corner, now is a great time to surprise her and create a Twilight bedroom for your daughter!

In this section of the website you can also search Twilight bedroom accessories that you can use to create your own Twilight themed bedroom!

Your Twilight bedroom project does not need to be expensive, and if you use a little bit of creativity, you can create a beautiful bedroom at minimum cost!

For example, you can find twilight posters really cheaply (we sell them on this website for around $2-4), and purchase a cheap frame to put it on, or post it directly on to the wall.  This will immediately set the theme!

There are Twilight themed bedspreads available on this website, and you may find that the Twilight bedding set, coupled with simple and affordable Twilight accessories will create a wonderful effect for your Twilight bedroom theme.

 

Accessories that are available from this website include:

 

Twilight Bedding Set

 
Twilight Posters

 

Twilight Accessories & Decorations

 

Twilight Games

 

Twilight Music & DVDs

 

Twilight Books

 

 

Ideas for Creating a Twilight Bedroom Theme

If you look through You Tube, you can get some great ideas of what other people have done to create the perfect Twilight bedroom.

If you are doing it as a surprise, you could have the room set up with candles and the soundtrack from the move playing for when your daughter enters the room, as well as a Twilight screensaver on your daugher’s computer or laptop screen. You can also set this kind of stage for a Twilight party for Twilight fans.

You could download pictures online and print them out and place them in a photo frame like this one.  The beauty of this frame is that it fits 10 pictures, so you can create a great collage from pictures you print off the internet or cut out from magazines.


If you want to buy furniture and decor that is not specifically made for a Twilight Bedroom, look for items with a gothic or medieval style, and go for blacks, whites and reds for a real dramatic Twilight effect.

You might even be able to pick up cardboard stand-ups of Edward and Bella from your local DVD store – its worth asking!  Usually DVD stores receive items such as these to put up around their stores, and sometimes they will have stand-ups that are damaged, or they have too many of them.  Or, since New Moon is the new movie, they may have old Twilight stand-ups that they no longer use.

You could create a utility box from cardboard and paint it and decorate it with cut outs or pictures and words and writing from magazines and the internet – this would be a cheap and effective way to enhance your theme.  You could even create a series of these items, and re-use other household items if you want to save money and have less of an impact on the environment.

Worried about the room being too dark? This youtube video shows how to transform an ordinary room into a twilight themed room without effectively without using too much black.  I also like the pillow cases having a print of a lion and a lamb – again, something that you could create at home.  This is definitely the best Twilight bedroom I have seen so far!

 

A whole bunch of videos have been uploaded to youtube with ideas for decorating a bedroom with a twilight theme.  Check them all out here.

 

Free Twilight Stuff

You can download free Twilight screen savers from here.

Free Twilight ringtones can also be downloaded here.

 

So, as you can see, you can create your own beautiful Twilight bedroom theme so easily and effectively, and with a bit of creativity, it does not have to cost you a fortune! 

I would love to hear from anyone who has successfully created their own Twilight bedroom – feel free to post links to pictures or videos of your own Twilight bedroom.

Teen Kids Room – Decorating for Boys

10December

Teen Kids Room is a relatively new website to assist you to create your own unique teen kids room.

I realised lately there has been a huge focus on creating a Twilight Bedroom, which does not help a lot of teen boys to create a suitable bedroom for themselves.  I therefore will be spending a bit of time posting some ideas for some unique boys bedrooms.

If you are looking for a specific bedroom design or style for your own male teen kids room, please feel free to leave a comment or contact us with your ideas and we will be sure to include some ideas for you on that theme or topic.

For now, we are going to start with sports.  Most boys are into sports – either following sports or participating.  Boys who are interested in sports usually have a team or a sporting hero whom they follow or aspire to be.  This can be a great idea for creating a themed room for your male teen kids room.

First Step – Deciding on the Theme

Does your son enjoy a particular sport, such as American Football, Ice Hockey or Soccer? You should work with your son when creating the ideal teen kids room, and use the time for bonding and getting creative together.  Be open to what your son wants and if his suggestions are not to your liking, rather than saying no, try compromising.  For example, if your son loves black and wants a black bedroom, compromise by suggesting a black feature wall. This can look very effective and not darken the bedroom at all when only used as a feature.

Step Two – Colour Scheme

Now that the two of you have decided on a theme for your teen kids room, the choosing of the colours should be fairly simple and straight forward.  For examples, the colours of the team your son follows, or the colours of your country flag if they are going for a patriotic theme.

Step Three – Working Out What You Need

This step depends on your budget and what you actually need to bring your teen kids room theme to life.  What do you have that you can use already?  Do you know of anyone who may have what you need and be interested in giving it to you or selling it to you?  Can you find what you need on eBay?  Can you use your creativity to make what you need and just buy a few pieces of materials to assist you to do this?  Or do you need an entire new range of furniture?

Step Four – Make a Start

The best way to get something done is to just start!  Buy what you need for the room, start drawing plans, brain storm with your son on what he’d like and take action to make it happen

Murals For Kids Rooms

04December

Are you looking for some ideas for decorating your teen kids room or toddler’s room and don’t know where to start?  Have you thought of wall murals?  Wall murals for kids bedrooms (or any age, really) are an awesome way to bring a bedroom alive and transform it into an exciting place to be and play!

How To Start

The best way to start is to look at what your kid’s interests are.  What do they like?  Are there any television shows / movies or tv characters that they love?  Do they love animals or do they have an interest in music?  What about fantasy – does your little girl imagine herself as a princess, or does your son want to be a fireman?  Spend some time observing your child and what they really love.

Brainstorming

Next, start brain-storming on some ideas for what you can do with their bedroom.  Will you paint just one feature wall, or the entire bedroom in the theme?  Will you paint the roof as well as the walls?  What will you do about the floor – carpet, wood, or is there an opportunity there to paint the floor or vinyl it in a suitable fashion to blend in with the new theme?

 

If you have come up with a short list of options, do some analysis to determine which would be the most effective theme to go with.  Does your child have a preference out of your options?  Is your child more likely to grow out of some of the themes more quickly than others?  For example, some cartoon characters can be a theme in relation to the child’s age, such as Thomas the Tank Engine.  Whereas an interest or love of animals or music can be more of a long-term thing.

Determining Your Budget

Next – what is your budget?  How much can you afford to spend on decorating your kids room?  Can you afford to hire a muralist to paint the room for you, or would you like to have a go and painting it yourself?  If you are an artistic type, you may be able to come up with your own designs and have a go at painting your kids room yourself.  If you aren’t artistic and have the budget, don’t worry too much about details, prepare a rough idea of what you have in mind, and present it to a muralist for further development.  This is their area of expertise and they are there to assist you to create the most suitable design.

Finding a Suitable Muralist

Trouble finding a muralist?  I know of one personally that I can recommend, who is located in Nelson, named Brian McLauchlin (www.artman.ca).  Brian is an all-round artist and if you have been to Nelson, BC, Canada, you will know of Brian’s work around the town!  Although Brian is located in Canada, he may be available to travel, depending where you are.  Otherwise, for the US, you may find this website suitable for searching a muralist in your area: www.FindAMuralist.com.

Making it Happen!

Next step is making it happen!  The muralist you use may be skilled in other areas and be able to supplement their work with other artistry work such as wood work, building a castle entrance / door to fit the “princess” theme, creating a ’secret passageway’ or play alcove in the room.  I have seen bedrooms whereby part of the room is sectioned off with a painted wall and an ornamental door that the child has to climb through or even slide down a slippery slide to, to enter the play area of the room.  This can help to keep the room looking presentable as well, if you section off the play area.

I have also seen alcoves being built into walls to hold the bed, creating an adventurous sleeping arrangement for your kids!

The ideas are endless for what you can do to really make your teen kids room or toddler’s room unique.  With a bit of research, brainstorming with your kids and then making it happen, this can be a really fun project.  And what a better a time to do it than in the Christmas holiday season!  Perhaps you can make this a your Christmas present to your child or teen.  At the very least, have fun with it!

Further Tips and Resources

Here are a few websites that I recommend to assist you to make this happen for your teen kids room or toddler’s bedrrom.  Some of these websites offer easy solutions, such as wall stickers that take the trouble and cost out of having the whole wall painted.  Some of them also offer easy “paint-by-numbers” murals that you use to do it yourself – taking the difficulty out of creating your own mural for your kids room.
