Decorating a Child s Room with Tropical Themes
When I think of decorating a child's room tropically, I immediately think decorating with palm trees, sand, and mischievous monkeys. A good way to begin this transformation is to go to a local craft store and look at the wall adhesives. Most of the wall-paper like pictures easily stick to the wall, are movable, and leave little or no residue when your child decides he or she wants a change.
If wall adhesives aren't your style, or you want to make the wall a little more three dimensional, then you can take simple acrylic paint and create the palm trees (which are very easy to create for a child).
After the walls are done, find either green bedding or bedding with pictures on it that will mesh well with those that you have chosen for the walls. If you cannot find bedding that you and your child think will work, go to the fabric section and look for the children's fabrics. Usually there will be several tropically themed fabrics to choose from. If you don't want to make the sheets you can always find a solid sheet set that will match well with the fabric you choose for the comforter and then either make the comforter yourself or ask a local seamstress to create the blanket for you. If you have two made one heavy and one light, then you can keep the tropical themed bedding throughout the year.
A good idea for wall art to compliment these decorations, you can either use the previously mentioned wall adhesives or have your child create their own pictures to frame and hang on the walls. If you use one wall as a mural and paint the rest with a solid tropical color your child's wall art will look impressive. Or, you can create a blackboard wall with blackboard paint and your child can continuously draw new wall art.
A tropical vacation wouldn't be complete without watching a sunset or the stars. To create this for your child you can paint a scene on the ceiling, or find star and moon wall adhesives to attach to the ceiling (that way the ceiling scene can be changed out quickly and easily).
There are several periodicals on decorating your childs room. You can also visit local furniture stores or view online furniture stores. When designing your childs room, it is important that you keep in mind that eventually your child will out grow his/her room. Try sticking with neutral colors.
Always remember that to make your child happiest with the room, allow them to help in the process. If their shorter, let them help you place art at their height or even, to an extent, paint the mural (there are several easy things that they can do, like paint sand or grass). Take them with you to choose the fabrics and wall art and let them help you decide where things go. They will feel a great sense of pride in the room that they helped create.

Bought 2 of these to sit side by side in my garden border. They are exactly as shown & described, a lovely quality & good weight. I really like that they have drainage holes (so many garden pots don't) as I like to put flowers & shrubs direct into the pot. They make a nice feature in the garden & I'm really pleased with them.

Arrived swiftly and looks good but the quality is cheap. The table wobbles - disappointing as there’s only 3 items in the order! Is it worth £280? No! Wish I hadn’t purchased. Can’t return because it’s big, heavy and probably costly to do so.

Excellent price and delivery service. Easily put together and comprehensive instructions regarding care and treatment of the wood were enclosed. Only one minor minus point - a couple of pre-engineered joints did not fit together tightly (see photo of one of these joints). In all honesty, this would not be criticised, or probably even noticed, by users of the bench. Except me.

Easy assembly, looks great and the center table is just what I needed for my morning cup of coffee while I sit in the morning and watch the birds.

Set up was super easy!! I didn’t even need to use the nails they sent with it, I could use regular thumbtacks and they stayed up just as well. The size is a bit smaller than portrayed in the stock photos, but other than that I’m super happy with the color and style! They look amazing in my room.

I needed 8 but ordered four of these chairs in grey just to check the quality. I am very pleased with the overall look and quality. They are light but sturdy. I paired them with an expensive teak table to get in upscale French ambiance. It works.

The bench was good ,comfortable and fairly easy to put together. However you instructions need some more explanation to screw it together.

One the hole it is ok. I had a lot of trouble with the centre joining uprights. They would not click into place on the roof or floor no matter which way up they were. Spent over a hour and a half with the first centre joining upright before giving up and making it do with the way it was. It would have been nice to have a few more options on the walls for fixing shelves.

Lovely red colour, matches my front door. Look expensive plenty of scope for planting. Good finish, will look great. Strong and light to lift. Just need to drill holes for drainage. Good to have a more unusual colour . Arrived on time and packed well.

Quick easy way to add pop to wall. Can be used for holding lots of items above a desk and still look attractive.

Not the color I thought it was going to be, and during the assembly one of the screw holes was angled weirdly and too small so my boyfriend had to drill a bigger hole in the frame just so it would fit. I love it though! Wonderful addition to my backyard.

his is a quality product. It went together easily and serves multiple purposes on my deck. It is an extra seat, storage for BBQ tools and table settings, and an end table. My only small regret is that it is not large enough to hold any of my seat cushions, which is why I bought it. I wanted to hold the overflow of cushions from the large deck box I have. Otherwise, I have found it to be very useful!
