Creepy Skull Themed Bedroom Decor Ideas for Girls

Alchemy Gothic No Evil Comforter Set Cover Set
Veratex Rainbow Skulls Comforter Set
Looking to decorate a skull themed bedroom for a girl? Whether you're looking for straight goth or girly pastels, there are plenty of bedroom accessories out there that will help you get the perfect look. I've collected all of my favorites into one place to help you out. Let's get started!

First thing you are going to need is some skull decorated bedding to form the bones of the theme. You can find all of my favorite skull themed bedding ideas here, but to get you started, here are a couple of great ones.

Love Cushion Covers 
For hardcore gothic, you can't go wrong with the stunning Alchemy Gothic 'No Evil' comforter set featured above. Each set of this creepy bedding come with the duvet cover and two matching pillow cases. If, alternatively, you are looking for something a little more feminine, the Veratex Rainbow skulls set on the right is absolutely perfect. This collection includes the comforter, a fitted sheet, a pillow case and the matching pink bedskirt.

If you want an awesome budget idea, you can do away with a full skull themed bedding set and instead pair beautiful decorative pillows like the one on the left with a funky skull themed blanket throw. Add them to your existing sheets and you have a wonderful look for half the price!

Flower Skull Poster
Here's a mistake that many people going for a gothic theme make - don't paint your walls black! It will leave your room looking dark and small, in a way that is really more depressing than you would think. Trust me, I've made that mistake myself in the past. Instead, choose deep purples, blues, medium grays, and make sure the room is capable of being very well lit. I've featured some cool skull themed lamps below, so be sure to take a look at those.

Whether or not you are painting the walls, you'll need some fun pictures to decorate the blank spaces with. Skull themed posters and decals are very common: I've featured two of my favorites on the right and above. They come in all styles imaginable. It's not just posters and stickers either, you can get hanging wall tapestries, gorgeous canvas art, and faux animal skull trophies. Pick your favorites and go wild with it!

Candle Holder Meditation Figurine
A lot of people neglect lighting when it comes to decorating themed bedrooms, even though it can add a really unique flair to a room. Skull themed lighting is more common than you would think, and every piece is a really original design. The wire frame skull lamp above is a great spooky lamp, for example. Alternatively, if you are going for the more 'day of the dead' style of skull bedroom, this Thai style wooden framed paper lamp would look perfect!

Skull themed candle and tea-light holders are another wonderful choice for the theme, it gives the room a real dungeon feel. If you like candles but don't want to take the risk with real flames, you should take a look at these stunning and kooky skeleton themed flameless LED candles.

United Weavers Legends Rug
Snake Eyes Skeleton Skull
Last, but not least, finish off the room with some personal, unique touches. For this you will need skull themed accessories, little ornaments and the like that just scream 'you'. This skull themed clock is very cool, for example, and for girls who need space to store their jewellery, these trinket boxes would be amazing. There is also a lot of skull figurines and ornaments, such as the one above which is part of a large range of incredible decorated skulls. I also love the Day of the Dead Lovers figurine range.

Bone Collector Rod Pockets
Curtains and rugs are a must-have for those with bare windows and floors. I'm in love with the stunning dragon and skull themed antique style rug on the right, and for those of you with a taste for the macabre, the 'game hunter' style curtains on the left are also a good pick.

So there you have it! Those are all of my favorite accessories for decorating a skull themed bedroom. I hope you found some amazing ideas and have a ton of fun with your new look.

Jurassic Park Dinosaur Themed Bedroom Decor Ideas for Boys

Jurassic World 5pc Full Comforter and Sheet Set Bedding Collection
Looking to create your very own pre-historic bedroom adventure park? Well how about making a Jurassic Park or dinosaur themed bedroom? This theme is a lot of fun and allows for some really unique looks and creativity. I've trawled the net for all of my favorite Jurassic World bedroom decor ideas so you don't have to, so let's get stuck in!

Jurassic T-Rex Dinosaur Bedding
First up, you will need some bedding. There are a couple of pieces of official Jurassic Park and Jurassic World bedding out there, but they go out of stock quickly, so if you see one you like, be sure to pick it up quick. I recommend the collection at the top of this page, which includes a reversible comforter, a flat and fitted sheet set and two matching pillow cases.

Universal Jurassic World Dino
Experience Microraschel Blanket,
If you don't mind venturing beyond official merchandise, above is a simply stunning piece of realistic T-Rex art print bedding that looks simply incredible. The matching pillowcase for it is available here. There is an abundance of other unbranded dinosaur bedding out there that would look amazing in a Jurassic World bedroom: you can find more of my favorite bedding for boys and girls here.

If you are looking to a budget alternative to buying a full dinosaur bedding set, a good trick is to match your existing bedding and sheets with a colorful dinosaur Jurassic World blanket like the one on the right. Just spread it on, and voila! 

The matching sheets you see in the picture on the right are available here, and you can get the same design on a comforter right here.

Fabric Wall Skin Decor by wallthat
24 Piece Glow in the Dark Dinosaurs
Wall decals are a perfect way to liven up the walls of a dinosaur themed bedroom, and there are some fantastic murals of all sized, many of which look as as if the the dinosaurs are about to burst out of your walls. The 3D look is very effective! You can also get yourself some official Jurassic World decals are available here.

Another cute idea is to buy some glow-in-the-dark dinosaur stickers to decorate your walls with, such as the ones on the left. That way even when the lights are out you can still bask in the beauty of the Jurassic era. 

Kids Novelty Lamp with Green Fabric
Shades, Green Dino in Brass Finish
Speaking of things that glow in the dark, looking for some cool dinosaur themed lighting? The lamp above is a pretty magical piece, and it's easy to replicate at home if you have some plastic dinosaur toys, a spare lamp, a glue gun and a bit of time. There are also a couple of accessories you can buy to decorate your existing lighting fixtures too, such as a t-rex ceiling fan pull and dinosaur light switch plates.

Brazil Furniture Waterfall Back Child Recliner - Stellar Rex
If money is no limit, you can even splash out on some original dinosaur-themed furniture for your bedroom. I particularly like the camo-style Stellar Rex recliner featured above: for a more budget option, check out the matching bean bag chair available here. There are plenty more pieces out there, especially for younger kids, such as dinosaur bed head boards, toddler bed frames and bookshelves.

Jurassic World Velociraptor "Charlie" Figure
Finally, finish off your bedroom with some roaring dinosaur accessories to make it personal to you. These could be anything, including Jurassic World curtains, tin signs and wall clocks. Pretty much every dinosaur from every Jurassic Park film is available in figurine form, including from the most recent Jurassic World film: Delta, Echo, Blue, and the terrifying Indominus Rex.

Top Disney's Frozen Themed Bedding for Girls

Nordic Frost Frozen Bedding
Hey gals! We've already had my guide to decorating a Frozen themed bedroom, but that only showed you a few examples of the amazing array of Frozen themed bedding out there. That's why I've decided to collect even more of my favorites here for you to check out! To start us off, above we have a beautiful piece of bedding depicting Elsa and Anna standing against the snowy backdrop of Arundel. Each set comes with an insane amount of stuff too: a comforter, a flat and fitted sheet set, two pillowcases, a sleep-mask and two sheets of glittery stickers! Awesome!

Frozen Celebrate Love Comforter
Above is one of the best-selling Frozen bedding sets on Amazon, and for good reason. With a colorful blend of pink, purple and blue it can match many wall colors, plus it looks so very pretty. Any girl is sure to love it! You can get the matching sheet set for the Frozen Celebrate Love comforter here, and that comes with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and a reversible pillow case with two different designs.

5 Piece Full Size Frozen Bedding Set
Above is a similar style of bedding which ironically is perfect for Frozen fans decorating a spring bedroom! The flower pattern and the pale pinks and blues make for a very light and airy bedding set that is sure to add life to your bedroom. Each set comes with everything you need: a comforter, a flat and fitted sheet set and two gorgeous pillow cases.

Disney Frozen Warm Heart Microfiber Comforter
If you want something that is more suited to the winter but isn't too frosty, then take a look at the Warm Heart bedding set above. I love the art style of this collection, it is very romantic and elegant. The sheet set for this comforter is available here. It comes with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and the two great pillow cases you see in the picture. Cute!

Disney Frozen Nordic Florals Comforter Set with Fitted Sheet
If your room uses a lot of deep shades of pink as part of its color scheme, I highly recommend choosing the bold and eye-catching Nordic Florals bedding set above. It is such a lovely design, with delicate flowers and lots of feminine swirls and flicks reminiscent of Elsa's magic. With every set of this bedding you get a comforter, a fitted sheet and the matching pillow sham.

Frozen Perfect Day Bedding
If the above is overloading you with the pink, then fear not, because there is an abundance of bold blue Frozen themed bedding out there for you to choose from too. My personal favorite is the lovely Frozen Cartoon bedding above, which comes with a quilt cover, a sheet and two pillow cases. 

Disney Frozen Olaf Build a Snowman Microfiber Comforter
So far these bedding sets just haven't had enough Olaf in them, and we can't do without our happy little puddle of snow! That's why I've included the cool blue Olaf 'Build a Snowman' comforter above. The matching sheet set for this bedding can be found here. It comes with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and a matching pillow case.

Purple Frozen Toddler Bedding
Last but not least, if you are shopping for a mini-toddler sized bed, then there is no need to feel left out - just pick up the lovely blue Magical Sisters bedding above! I love the color scheme on this bedding; it has a very watercolor style to it that is very cute. Each set of this amazing bedding comes with a bedspread, a fitted and flat sheet, and a standard sized pillowcase.

Disney's Inside Out Themed Bedroom Decor Ideas

Disney Pixar Inside Out 5pc Full Comforter and Sheet Set Bedding Collection
Disney Pixar's Inside Out is my favorite movie of the year, and with it's colorful aesthetics and bubbly characters, I think it makes the perfect theme for a kids bedroom. This post is going to be looking all of the great Inside Out bedroom decor ideas out there and how to put it altogether into something that looks amazing. Let's get started!

Disney/Pixar Inside Out "Rainbow Patchwork" Comforter
Disney / Pixar INDSIDE OUT
Sadness Pillow Buddy
First of all, the centrepiece of the room is the bed, and so far Disney have released two very beautiful sets of Inside Out bedding that you can pick up. The one at the top of this post is my personal favorite - it's so bold and colorful! Each set of this bedding comes with the comforter, a flat and fitted sheet set, and two pillow cases.

As for the second one, I love the patchwork style to the design, it has a very unique and feminine feel that is bound to make any bedroom look amazing. You can get the matching sheet set here, which comes with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and a matching pillowcase.

A fun addition to any piece of bedding is a few extra pillows, and in this instance there is a real treat out there - pillows shaped like the actual characters! On the right is Sadness, and you can also get Joy and Anger.

Inside Out Burst Peel and Stick Giant Wall Decals
Disney Inside Out LED Canvas Wall Art
If you are painting your walls a new color to match the scheme, then you have a wide array of choices available to you. The five colors of the main characters, light yellow, sky blue, red, purple and green all work great, though I think yellow and blue are your best bet since more of the decor features Sadness and Joy prominently.

Once your walls are looking lovely, you'll need some art to hang up! There are quite a few wall decals featuring the characters from Inside Out, such as the cool one featured above. Another fun decal style to use are polka dots like this, which can be used to make your room look just like the inside of the HQ! You can also get some pretty nifty canvas are - the one on the left actually lights up, which makes it a very unique piece.

Disney Pixar Inside Out Collapsible Storage Trunk
Disney Inside Out Storage Cubes
Dis you know that you can also get Inside Out themed furniture? If you have a lot of clutter to store, above and on the right are some pretty fun options with some lovely Inside Out character art. The ones on the right are great as they are suitable for boys and girls. Beyond official Inside Out merchandise, you can get a lot of furniture that matches the theme as well. I recommend going for lots of bold primary colors, like this table and chairs set (or this one for older kids) or a few of these cuddle chairs. Here's a colorful and eye-catching book rack that would also fit the theme.

Inside Out Small Figure Joy
Disney Inside Out Window Panels
Finally, finish up your room with some cute accessories! Figurines are a fun one, like the colorful Joy figurine with light up Memory Sphere. You can also get Sadness, Anger, Fear, Disgust and Bing Bong in figurine form too. You can also get some cute Inside Out character plushes to pile up on your bed: here's Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust.

You windows can look a little bare without some curtains, and there are some official Inside Out curtains, featured on the left. I love the pattern, it's very bold. 

So there you go! That's my guide to decorating your room in the style of Inside Out. I hope you found everything you need and have a lot of fun decorating.
