Magical Disney bedroom ideas

We currently live in a 2 bedroom house. To help make it feel not so cramped the dining room is a dining room and toy room combined. Thankfully the dining room is big enough to accommodate both uses.

With our home only having 2 bedrooms the boys have to share a bedroom. The bedroom is a large room so both of their beds fit in with ease along with bedroom furniture for their clothing and a few toy boxes. Even with all the bedroom furniture they also have plenty of room to play, snuggle up to read a book or watch a show on the tablet.

One of the downsides of the boys sharing a bedroom especially as they have an age gap of 4 years is that they want their bedroom decorated differently. Until now we have decorated their section of the bedroom to their likes so the room is split with 2 different decors.

Now that Jelly Bean is 2 he is outgrowing his nursery style jungle animals decor so we have been thinking about redecorating. With that in mind I have been trying to think of a theme that would suit both of the boys so that the room is no longer split with 2 opposing themes.

Disney to the rescue!!

Brilliant bedroom for happy kids with Dulux

When we found out we were expecting our first child one of the things we were most excited about was decorating the nursery for our little bundle of love. As both Lee and I are artistic we let our creative juices flow and designed and decorated a jungle theme nursery with the walls adorned with a hand-painted mural.

Bug loved his jungle bedroom and was sad to say goodbye to it when we moved. For a long time in our new home his bedroom was dull and very magnolia! When we found out we were expecting our second child we decided to help Bug get used to the idea of a new baby in the house and make him feel like the big boy he has beautifully grown into by decorating and revamping his room to be a fun and colourful room fit for a big brother.

Positive Feng Shui for your child's bedroom

Sleep is vital to help your child get the most out of life - something that Childrens Bed Shop knows inside out, with its range of themed bedrooms and flexible sleep solutions. As with adults, a bad night's sleep can translate into a less than perfect day. By having a restful, calming and organised space, your children will be able to play more happily, sleep more easily and generally experience peace of mind and a sense of relaxation.

Spiderman bedding - a splash of superhero.

As I have previously mentioned we are slowly transforming Bug’s bedroom so that it is a bedroom filled with all that he loves, a bedroom fit for the big boy that he is now. A big part of the room transformation was to replace Bug’s cotbed with a new big boy bed, with other additions being superhero themed accessories to add life and character to the bedroom.

One of the latest additions to Bug’s bedroom is a new duvet and pillow case set perfect for our little superhero fan.

As Bug is mad about Spiderman we bought him a Disney Spiderman Bedding Set from Homebase.

A new bedroom for a new big brother.

Whilst Bug is not moving rooms since we moved to this house we have not done much to his bedroom, partly due to being restricted decorating wise as we rent as well as not needing to buy new furniture and bedroom accessories as he was happy with what he already had.

But with the impending arrival of Jelly Bean and the fact that Bug is growing up so fast, being unwavering with his tastes and likes we have decided to revive his bedroom and make it into a new bedroom perfect for a new big brother.

It may not be a 60-minute makeover, instead being a slow burner of a makeover thanks to the hecticness of family and getting ready for Jelly Bean’s arrival but below is my wishlist of furniture and bedroom accessories that I would love to get to transform Bug’s bedroom into the big boy bedroom he deserves.

Bed

As Bug is going through yet another growth spurt and is a tall boy the time has come for him to move from his cot bed to a big boy bed.

Top of our bed wishlist for Bug is the Malibu Cabin Bed Frame in Pine available from Homebase or Argos. With a plush and comfortable mattress I am sure this bed would help give Bug a peaceful night’s sleep. Plus a big bonus of the bed is the storage space underneath.

Bookworm reading corner

As Bug is a little bookworm I would love to have a lovely bookcase in his bedroom so his extensive book collection could be showcased. I would love to create a bookworm reading corner with a gorgeous Tidy Book bookcase.

I would also love an uber comfy chair from Worlds Apart such as the Ultimate Spider-Man Flocked Chair (perfect for superhero mad Bug) or a Ninja Turtles Flip Out Sofa to be in his bookworm reading corner.

Lighting

Whilst we are restricted on changing the ceiling lights I would love to add some fun and funky lighting to Bug’s new bedroom. Satisfying Bug’s admiration of Superheroes I would love to get a few Superhero themed night lights from The Glow Company such as their amazing 3D FX Marvel Lights.

Bedding

As we are restricted on decorating as well as adding colour and character to the room with furniture, lighting and posters/wall stickers I want to add a splash of colour to the room with some Superhero themed bedding. I hope to get a couple of different Superhero bedding sets to bring Bug’s new big boy bed to life, with this marvellous Marvel Avengers Duvet Cover Bedding Set with 3D Glasses from Universal Textiles.

Now all I need is some superhero powers to transform Bug’s bedroom to a superhero themed big boy bedroom perfect for the new big brother he will soon be.

How to Create a Harry Potter Themed Bedroom.

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.
