Despite
the final book being released in 2007, Harry Potter is still massively popular
and it doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon with new films and short stories
planned for the future. If your child is mad about the boy wizard then you
could try making them a Harry Potter themed bedroom that will make them feel
like they’re at Hogwarts.
Here’s
how…
Wall
Murals
Whilst you
could go for Harry Potter wallpaper, it would be that little bit more special
if you went for wall murals instead. You can buy stick on pieces and stencils
to draw around to help create more of a theme for the room. You could even use
a projector to project images on the wall to draw around. For example, you
could have the famous images of the Hogwarts Express going over the bridge, a
Quidditch match or even Hogwarts itself.

Lighting
If you
want to create a magical ambience in the room then lighting is a great way of
doing so. When you think of Harry Potter and wizards, harsh lighting doesn’t
really spring to mind, so go for softer tones, perhaps by installing a dimmer
switch in the room. You could also drape twinkling fairy lights around the room
that will really look amazing. Lights4Fun
has loads of different lights that could work in this regard.
Memorabilia
Any Harry
Potter fan worth their salt will have at least some memorabilia. What’s great
about Harry Potter memorabilia is that a lot of it looks like things the
characters might actually have. For instance, you can get wands, clothing in
the house colours, chocolate frogs, broomsticks and loads more. The official Harry Potter shop has
some really amazing things on there that would really add some detail to the
room.
Soft
Furnishings
When it
comes to soft furnishings such as curtains, cushions and bedding, you can
either go authentic and try and match those they have in the Hogwarts dorms or
elsewhere in the films, or you can go for proper branded Harry Potter items
which is probably more exciting and a lot easier to find. You could also be
creative and make your own – these Harry Potter cushions are very cool!
Dressing Up
Whilst it
may not strictly fall under the category of room decoration, dressing up
outfits would still really help add to the Harry Potter theme and is something
your children will love. Of course the most obvious outfit is to dress up as a
wizard but they can also get jumpers and scarves in the house colours and
various other pieces of Harry Potter clothing that they could wear.
Wall
Writing
The Harry
Potter books are littered with memorable quotes so stencilling one of them on
the wall would be a really cool idea. You or your child might have a favourite
quote that they like or if not then the famous “I solemnly swear that I am up
to no good” quote may well be appropriate!
