A beach theme is not only a great way to create a fun and nurturing environment for your child, but it's also quite easy to do. Especially when you start with the right centerpiece - namely: the bed.
The Centerpiece of a Beach Themed Bedroom: A Custom Theme Bed
An ideal custom theme bed for a beach themed child's bedroom could be a hut or a bungalow, it could be a rowboat, a sailboat, or a yacht, it could be dolphin or a whale, it could be a sunken pirate's ship or a submarine.
Whichever of these ideas you use - or whatever others you come up with on your own - a dominant centerpiece like a custom theme bed gives you a simple and profound focal point to design the rest of the room around.
If you get a two-tier custom theme bed, then you have additional decorative options, such as using rocks (real or manmade) to suggest a cave off the shore or a grassy cliffside overlooking the horizon. You can even add a beach umbrella for a further sense of privacy and shade.
Colors for a Beach Themed Bedroom
Colors for a beach themed child's bedroom might consist of varying shades of blue - light blue for the sky, deep blue for the sea. These could comprise the base of the ceiling and/or wall colors. The deeper ocean blues could also work well for bedding.
Highlights of yellow and gold would work well in evoking the bright and warming light of the sun, moon and stars.
Beiges and tans would work wonderfully as floor colors, whether in light hardwood or wall-to-wall carpeting, or area rugs and mats, emulating the sand on the shores of your child's private beach paradise.
Furniture and Accessories for a Beach Themed Bedroom
Shells make wonderful ornaments on all sorts of furniture and accessories of a beach themed bedroom, whether as borders along the walls or borders around a mirror or picture frame or glued across the surface of a lampshade. Coral, sand glass, and starfish provide similar versatility of detail.
The element of water can be further interjected into a beach themed bedroom in a number of ways. A small aquarium of goldfish or tropical fish is a great start. But you can also provide a similar sense of floating on the sea by placing lots of pillows throughout the room, as their softness and billowiness are very suggestive of the same soothing, flowing energy of water.
Sheer fabrics, both as drapery and such as well as accenting portions of the custom theme bed creates a suggestion of a light ocean breeze as the slightest movement makes them flutter ever so lightly.
A surfboard can make a great decoration, or it can be incorporated into a piece of furniture, be it a novel bench or a door to the closet built into your child's beach themed custom bed.
