Pirate Themed Bedroom Decor Ideas

Pirate Themed Bedroom Decor Ideas
Yaar! So ye be lookin' to make yer very own Pirate themed bedroom do ye? The traditional pirate theme is loved by kids of all ages and genders, but especially boys, which is why it makes such a cute bedroom theme for them. Lets run through the basics of what you need to create your own Pirate themed bedroom.

Pirate Themed Bedding Ideas

If your young buccaneer is a toddler then you really can't miss out on the Pirate Ship Toddler bed, shaped like a real pirate ship! It even has a built in toy box, which is pretty cool. 

Otherwise there's plenty of cool pirate bedding to choose from. The one on the right is one of my favorites, and you can even get a matching window valance and decorative pillows for it, which give you the complete pirate look.


Pirate Wall Decor

For wall color I recommend either going with a shade of blue or a map-like shade of yellow like Weston Flax or the more bold Yellow Highlighter, but loads of colors can be made to work with the right decor. My little brother had an orange pirate themed room when he was 7, and I can definitely see a bold red working well with a lot of what I've seen!

No matter what you pick, you'll also need to cute art to decorate your walls. Pirate themed wall decals come in all different flavors, from imitation pirate maps, realistic pirates pictures to more cartoony pirates. Wall plaques are another great decorative option, especially my personal favorite: a wooden ship wheel!

Pirate Furniture

Next up you can check out some savvy pirate themed furniture. There's styles for buccaneers of all ages: the one above would look great in a younger child's room, while this decorative table is perfect for playdates. Some pieces, like this array of pirate themed furniture would look fantastic in any bedroom! 

Pirate Chests and Accessories

You can't have a pirate themed bedroom without at least one pirate chest in it to store your child's swag and booty! My favorite is the one on the right, which is cast in designer resin around a wooden frame and just screams quality.

However, luckily you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for a pirate chest if you are on a budget, since there are plastic ones and even inflatable ones (I own an inflatable one which I've filled with chocolate coins, its awesome!) as an alternative to the wooden and more fancy sets. 

Happy Decorating!

Top Skull Themed Bedding Ideas

Skull Bedding Ideas
Skull bedding is a great bedding idea for children and teens of all ages and genders. Not matter what style they are into, there is bound to be a set of skull bedding that would fit their room to a T. I'm going to take you through my favorites of the wide variety of skull bedding ideas on the internet.

Pirate Skull Bedding

Pirate Skull Sailor Bedding
Lots of boys love pirates, and the jolly roger is one of the most instantly recognizable skull symbols in the world. That's why a cool pirate skull set of bedding can make the perfect gift for a boy of any age. If you are thinking of making a pirate themed bedroom, this type of bedding is almost essential!

Here's a great tip by the way: an alternative if you don't have the budget for a full bedding collection is to buy a jolly rogers blanket, like the one above, and pair it with your existing sheets.


Cute Skull Bedding

There's plenty of adorable skull bedding available for girly girls of all ages. Skull bedding isn't just for boys! Cute cartoon skulls combined with stark stripes or even cute patchwork designs and patterns can make a great addition to any young or teenage girl's perfect bedroom.

They come in all kinds of different colors too, so there is bound to be one that matches your room's decor. My favorite on is the one on the left, but I also love this great pink set here.




Animal Skull Bedding

Bone Collector Comforter Sets
Animal skulls can look even cooler than human ones and make great centrepieces for a hunting lodge-style bedroom with lots of woods and forest colors. They typically come in greens and creams. The best thing about them is they look great in the rooms of skull lovers of all ages, children, teen and adult.


Ed Hardy Skull Duvet Set

Tattoo Style Skull Bedding

Tattoo style skull bedding uses the same types of elaborate and highly decorative designs used in biker and rock tattoos, and this makes them a great bedroom decoration for teens who are into the alternative culture.

They are also typically the brightest, most detailed and colorful skull bedding you can find, so they are sure to add an interesting and unique look to any teenagers room. The one on the left is one of my favorites!


Happy Decorating!
