My kids absolutely loved these, and so would any fan of fantasy fiction. Imagine this pair holding up your Tolkien trilogy, or the seven books of Harry Potter or the Narnia chronicles.

They're wonderfully decorative, graced with rich detail and made of polyresin, and would be wonderful in any imaginative kid's bedroom, although if the child is as well young, you should make sure he or she isn't scared by the fierce figurines. These can also make a unique gift for kids and adults alike.

Look how cute this lamp is! What could be better for your nursery or kid's room? The elephant and frog are a fun base, complimented by the animals like the giraffe on the lamp shade. The perfect touch, however, is the monkey swinging from the pull chain that turns the light on and off. Not only is it easy to grab, its so cute and funny, that it becomes as much a part of the decor as the lighting itself.
The base is sturdy and stable, and the greens are reminiscent of jungle foliage. There is a 6 piece crib set that matches this lamp in a color pallet of greens decorated with the very same jungle characters. Not to be confused with the 6 piece crib set in planet earth tones featured in the previous post, you can view the greener set when you click on the lamp for more details. The matching crib set is shown under items frequently bought together, at the bottom. Also, check out the crib mobile with the very same characters, by NoJo.
The soothing greens add a serenity to your nursery, as if you had added several ferns and tropical trees, like potted banana trees, to the room decor.
A bit of green as a trim around the window, or as a stencil up where the walls meet the ceiling will tie the decor theme together nicely.

If you believe that safe, eco-friendly wood furniture is to be taken for granted, think once more! Most wood furniture companies do not use wood from sustainably managed forests and plantations, and then they make it even worse by preserving it or constructing it with toxic adhesives and carcinogenic chemicals like formaldehyde that invade your body with toxic emissions. They then add insult to injury by adding poisonous paint and stains.

When it comes to nursery decor, function is just as crucial as style. In fact, it's probably more crucial. The baby's crib - the central piece of furniture and a potential focal point for the entire room, should be both beautiful, with a warm secure feeling, and live up to your expectations as a long term investment.

This beautiful crib in cherry wood can be a perfect solution. It has a classic look that is both contemporary and one to last through generations. It's not only strong and safe, it's also extremely practical, as it can be converted into a toddler's bed and later into a proper child's bed.
There is even a drawer at the bottom of this crib, for added storage room - some thing you can never have enough of in a nursery. This is definitely the sort of furniture you want in the nursery - it conveys comfort and stability and has the potential to go through the family from generation to generation.

The KidKraft Boat Bed is just what you need to make your toddler believe that going to bed is fun!
Who wouldn't want to drift off to sleep floating over imaginary seas? This bed has decorative rails to keep toddlers from rolling off in their sleep, but the bed is low enough for them to climb in and out by them selves. This is a good transitional bed for little tikes who have out grown their cribs, but need an incentive to stay in their own bed instead of hiding in yours. Since their bed is much more glamorous, they'll be proud to sleep in it. They can make believe they are sailing, fishing, scuba diving, and having adventures with pirates.
The rubber wood construction makes use of agriculturally grown trees that would have been destroyed after their latex production season anyway, so by using rubber-wood, you spare the ecosystem from deforestation. This wood should be kept indoors, and never put in real water, but it sure is fun pretending to be out on the high seas, or gently rocking in the marina. String colored lights for the marina effect, or play soothing recordings of waves and hump back whale songs for ambiance. Sea Shanties make good lullaby.
The bed has a convenient storage compartment, fits most crib mattresses (not included), and measures:
72.5″ x 32″ x 20.25″

I wish we had a larger image of this image, but you can yet see the general outlook from this one. Look beyond the educational value, a merit in its own right, and think in terms of design. This long strip of a rug, dark as deep space, and decorated with round bright planets, can provide interesting solutions to problems of balance in the kids room. Place it across from a heavy bed or chest, or under a big picture, and make sure it remains accessible for those little feet to play on.

Other than its decorative uses, this is also an item that will appeal hugely to kids with an interest in astronomy. It also includes 10 large double sided cards with a fun quiz game, making it a great gift for kids for any time of year.

Wall murals are a wonderful way to decorate a room, giving it an entire new look, without taking up any floor space. For that reason, they make a great choice in smaller rooms. Naturally, the effect they create can be overpowering and not suitable for any room, but these bold and colorful big flowers can be just perfect for a little girl's bedroom.

This set by Wallies includes three sheets, that let you work with two giant flowers (one pink and one blue) as well as 24 smaller flowers. You can get creative and form an extremely personal space for any little princess. Note how in this room design, two flowers were actually pasted on the bed, rather than on the wall itself, to create a well themed decor.
These Murals are printed on high-quality, pre-pasted, vinyl-coated paper, allowing anyone with a creative sense to create a long-lasting room makeover.

Kids spend a lot of time fantasizing. Their bedrooms should be where they can give those fantasies expression.
Putting chalk board on one wall, and providing them with colorful, dustless chalk is one great way to allow them to a location to create. With a digital camera, you can photograph anything they get attached to, and store the file. That way, they will be able to let go and erase the board to make room for new creations. The advantage of this is that you don't end up with tons of paper you must file. A USB device the size of your pinkie finger can hold all the digital files you collect. Saving paper also saves the environment.
Cork board is another good cover for a wall. They can hang any art work they like on the wall, and change their minds every week. The wall isn't damaged every time they feel like redecorating. Provide them with push pins (if they are old enough to use them safely), and scraps of fabric in different colors. They can make the wall look like a patchwork quilt.
Cover a wall with a strip of painted metal sheeting. This becomes the canvas for magnet art. Provide them with flat magnets and blank stickers. They can cover the magnets in the blank stickers, color them with pen or crayon, cut them out, and attach them to the wall. Magnetic alphabets and magnets with single words printed on them, provide a great way to stimulate literacy and poetic inspiration.
If you cover a wall in felt, and provide kids with lots of colored felt pieces, they can cut out characters and settings, and then arrange them to tell stories on the wall. Felt adheres to felt, so no pins are needed. This is a safe option for toddlers.

Kids room decor can actually help them to see the path towards their goals, and motivate them to strive for excellence.
Let's take the example of a kid who wants to become an astronaut. She requires to see how what she does now will affect her future, and how she can work to realize that dream. You could decorate a wall mural to assist her visualize the process. Paint the wall to look like a beautiful space-scape, with the Milky Way as a path she walks on to reach her prize. Paint a space shuttle and astronaut space walking beside it, as the prize at the end of the Milky Way path.
Then, along the Milky Way path, stagger a few small cork boards covered in black felt. On each one, put a representation of some thing she must do to reach her goal. In this case, that could be excelling in math, becoming healthy and strong, and developing good communication and interpersonal skills. On one felt covered cork board, hang photos of organic vegetables and good sources of protein. Include diagrams of exercises she should do to build muscle and increase flexibility. Be sure to add a cartoon of her sleeping soundly, as that's an crucial part of staying healthy. If she's as well young to do serious exercises, then have a photo of her brushing her teeth. On the next felt covered cork board, hang the multiplication tables, or what ever her next challenge is to learn in her math class. On the last felt covered cork-board, hang photos of her doing an activity that requires cooperation, a photo of her helping a younger child with kindness, and a photo of her listening with fully focused attention.
When your child can see the connection between the choices they make now, and the dreams they have for their future, they will be motivated to do the best they can. They will also have hope, which is crucial to their development on every level. Kids room decor is a powerful tool for molding their minds. Use it wisely.

Kids room decor is the art of keeping their mess at a minimum. Let's face it, you kids room will never look like an army barrack, and shouldn't, but you can get on top of the mess that is driving you crazy. It's all about creative storage. When the bits and pieces are up and out of your way, cleaning is simple, easy, and quick.
For instance, a big toy chest on wheels is easy to roll out of the way when you clean the floor. When open, it's low enough for toddlers to reach. At clean up time, you can institute a game where they see who can get the most toys into the chest. Make it a race, and offer prizes, like stickers. Toddlers love to put small things into larger things (that's why your VCR is broken ; ), so use this to your advantage. Institute games of laundry basket ball, where throwing laundry into the basket is target practice. As your child grows, mount the basket higher up the wall. This will keep them interested in continuing to hone their skills, and the laundry won't be mistaken for a carpet.
Book shelves should be cleared of books your kids no longer enjoy, so there is space to put away their old favorites and current challenges. By using lots of dividers in the shelves, you need not wrestle with long domino like rows of books every time you want to put one away. When it's easier to put them away, it's easier to convince kids to do so.
You can use the plastic containers from various food items to set up storage for game pieces. If your kids get into doing puzzles with many pieces, have them always start that on a piece of cardboard. That way, you can move the whole thing when you need to clean up, with out ruining the kids' work and enticing their wrath. When they finish the puzzle, you can glue it to the cardboard and hang it on the wall. They get pride from seeing their own accomplishments, and proof of their own perseverance.
