Kid's Room Decorating Ideas?
I'm looking for decorating ideas for my 8 year-old son's bedroom. We're looking for something interesting and unique. We've seen a lot of "kid's fantasy" themes, which are neat but not quite it. Also, we don't want anything pretentious or too "artsy" - this is a kid's room after all. I'd like to have something done to the ceiling perhaps. It always seem to get left out in pretty much all the decorating schemes we've seen. Any ideas?

- hmm, an animal theme or floral theme always work for kids' room. perhaps you could convert the ceiling into the sky. paint it light blue, then paint "cloud" designs on it :)
- a great theme we chose for our son was surfing, and the beach, here's some great surfing art: http://bit.ly/eFcT0J Another great theme is sports, these sports sayings are great for motivation: http://bit.ly/ezULat
- I have the perfect solution for you and your son, it's super unique, not like the same old stuff you've seen over and over! Stargazing ceiling murals of the night sky! It glows in at the dark and can't be seen during the day time so your room theme looks normal but at night, in the dark, thousands of stars will glow for hours. Just like the other person commented, you can get cloud murals by day and pair it with stars at night for the ultimate day/night experience, very realistic! Your 8 yr old would LOVE it. I have a niece that is 10 and recently got it in her room after seeing it in her sisters rooms for years (she finally got her own room). If you don't go for the full mural, there are even cosmic posters that you can place over any existing poster to turn it into a stargazing window, all very cool and kids really love it.
