If you are on a budget, a good way to create a faery themed bed is to pair your existing sheets with a gorgeous fairy blanket, such as this deep purple Night Fairy fleece blanket.

Another budget way to decorate your bed is to pair your existing plain sheets with some awesome decorative fairy pillows. There are loads available in many different styles. Here's one in a cool gothic cartoon style, and here's another in a floral pop-art style. Here's a lovely one in a stunning digital art style that you might like too. 

Fairy Themed Wall Decor

If you are looking for a fun color to paint the walls of your fairy themed wonderland, go wild! Feminine colors like pinks and purples go well with a lot of the bedding, but fairy decor comes in so many different colors that you can really go wild with your choices. Why not choose a garden green or an autumn orange?

Once the walls are painted, there are lots of bits and pieces you can use to decorate all of those bare patches and give them some flair.

You can also pick up a cute fairy candle holder if you are into tea lights and scented oil. This stained glass style fairy votive candle holder is also astoundingly beautiful. 

Lastly, you can also find fae and pixie themed figurines and ornaments with light up elements, which won't be bright enough to light the room but will look truly magical. Here's a sweet one of a fairy riding a dragon!

Fairy Princess Bedding
First of all, for those of your shopping for a lilac color scheme, check out the beautiful fairy and flower patterned bedding featured above. The crazy cool thing about this bedding is that it glows in the dark! It also comes with a tonne of stuff: a comforter, a bedskirt, and a set of matching shams.

Pinkalicious Fairy PrincessPink Bedding Set
If it is a darker purple color scheme you need, the bedding on the right might be perfect for you. Its great for any season too: the bold colors mean it adds a lot of warmth to a winter bedroom while the floral pattern matches all your summer and spring decor. Pretty neat! Each of these bedding sets comes with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet, and a pillow sham. 

Moving away from purple now, are you shopping for a girl who can't get enough of that pink goodness? I'm sure she will love the funky, kitsch fairy bedding featured on the right then! You get a comforter, a flat and fitted sheet set, two pillow cases and two pillow shams.

Fairy Princess Garden Quilt and 2 Shams by Pem America
Looking for something simple, light and airy to give your bedroom a summery or spring feeling? I recommend picking up the delicate Fairy Princess Garden bedding set by Pem America (who make lots of other fantastic children's bedding by the way) to be the centerpiece for your fairy bedroom. 

Hot Pink Fairy Princess Bedding
Korean style bedding is AMAZING, so I had to include a set here. For those of you not familiar with Korean style bedding, it is basically the kind of bedding you would expect to see in a fairytale palace, with feminine colors, tonnes of lace, enough frills to get lost in and lots of pretty adornments, bows and ribbons. 

The bedding on the right is a slightly more demure version but still has that feminine glory, with a bold pink color scheme and a very pretty fairy themed design.  

Each set comes with everything you need too, a duvet cover, a flat and fitted sheet set to go underneath, and a pillow case to rest your head upon and have sweet faery dreams.
Sixth, we have have the incredible angelic spirit guide fairy art bedding collection featured above. This bedding is fantastic for girls who want a mature but still mystical and feminine feel to their bedding. Each of these pixie delights comes with a duvet cover and two pillow cases.

Top Ten Animal Pattern Bedding Sets for Adults

7 Piece Animal Print Bedding
Whether you are going for a jungle or safari themed bedroom or are just looking for some exotic patterns to liven up your room, animal print bedding is a great way to add a lot of flair to a master bedroom. This post is going to be looking at my personal top ten favorite animal bedding sets for adults, so lets dive in!

Serengeti Complete Comforter Bedding
First of all, I am a huge fan of patchwork bedding, especially patchwork bedding with a twist, such as diamond patches rather than plain squares. That's why I chose the funky zebra, giraffe and leopard print patchwork bedding set above to be the first on the list! Each set comes with a tonne of stuff too: a comforter, a bedskirt, two pillow cases and a fitted sheet set.

Lush Decor Kenya Comforter Set
For a more demure and subtle look to blend in with your existing decor, the animal skin bedding just above is a lovely choice, with soft browns and a luxurious look. Each set comes with a comforter, two pillow shams, three decorative cushions, and a bed skirt.


Animal print bedding isn't all brown, brown and more brown - there are lots of very interesting color schemes you can get them in. I'm especially a big fan of pairing animal print with a sky blue, like the gorgeous Kenya Comforter set on the left. Each set comes with a comforter, a bed skirt, two pillowshams and two beautiful decorative cushions.


Black and White Micro Fur Zebra with Giraffe Design Comforter Bedding Set 
If your bedroom color scheme consists of a lot of blacks, grays, silvers and whites, you'll want to pick up a zebra fur pattern bedding set like the stylish stripey patch bedding featured above to match your decor. It comes with a comforter, two pillow shams, four decorative cushions and a bed skirt.

Zebra Animal Kingdom Bedding
Giraffe Animal Kingdom Bedding Set














Alternatively, if you have a lot of beiges and browns as the central color scheme of your bedroom, you might want to try out some giraffe print bedding like the one above.

Brown Micro Fur Patchwork Leopard Luxury Animal Print Bed-in-a-bag Set
Sherry Kline Jungle Passage
Zebra Comforter Set
Did I mention I'm crazy about patchwork bedding? Its a great way to get a variety of colors into your bedding, and if you like the contrast of the bold with the silky, then the leopard print bedding above might be just perfect for you. With a bed skirt and a tonne of pillows coming with it, its a veritable bed in a box.

Want an animal print style that looks simultaneously ethnic and city-modern? Check out the Sherry Kline bedding featured on the right, which combines shiny, luxurious and deep reds with bold blacks and a zebra print to form an incredibly unique look that you wont find in many other pieces of bedding. Each of these incredible bedding kits comes with a comforter, a bedskirt, two shams, a boudoir pillow, a square decorative pillow and two euro shams.

Sambar Safari Bedding Set
If your bedroom has a lighter color scheme, then I recommend the Micro Fur bedding above. With a gorgeous light brown color scheme and bold patchwork print, it will add a lot of light and space to your room. Each set comes with a comforter, a bedskirt, two pillow shams, a cushion, a neckroll and a bolster.

White Tiger Bedding
Last but not least, if you are looking for something truly bold that stands out a mile away, check out the fearsome tiger face on the bedding featured on the left. This bedding would look amazing paired with both sandy and deep colors, and is sure to be a treat to sleep in.

Going all the way and doing a spot of painting? The best colors for a Marilyn Monroe themed bedroom are the bold and the stark. White, silvers and grays look amazing, but deep reds, auburns and even dark pinks can be made to work quite well. Get some samples and go wild!

If you are a fan of touch lamps, you can also get a beautiful white lamp featuring Marilyn Monroe here.

Another option for making your lighting fixtures dazzle is to decorate the switches with some cute Marilyn Monroe light switch covers - you can find a whole range of them here. I like this cute Marilyn Monroe ballerina art switch plate the best.

Harry Potter Themed Bedroom Decor Ideas

Harry Potter School Motto Twin/Full Comforter with 2 Pillow Shams
I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and have been since the Sorceror's Stone came out all those years ago. That's why I had to put together a sweet guide to decorating a Harry Potter themed bedroom for all my fellow wizards and muggles out there who loved the books and movies as much as I did. Enjoy!

Harry Potter Bedding

Hogwarts Crest Bedding
First things first, every Potter bedroom needs some appropriately themed bedding to form the centerpiece of the display. There are a couple of really cool Harry Potter bedding sets out there, such as the one featured at the top of this page which comes with the gorgeous Hogwarts crest comforter and two pillow shams.

Harry Potter Gryffindor's
Crest Tapestry Throw
If you like the sort of color pencil art featured on the book covers, then check out this 'In Flight' bedding set, each of which comes with a flat and fitted sheet set as well as a pillow sham.

If you are on a tight budget, a cheap alternative to buying a full bedding set is to buy a Harry Potter blanket throw and match it with your existing sheets. I highly recommend the Gryffindor crest blanket on the right: you can also get a version with the crests of Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff to, so pick the house you think you would be sorted into!

You can also get a cool Marauder's Map themed blanket and a matching pillow sham to go with it!

Harry Potter Wall Decorations

Quote DUMBLEDORE ~ Harry Potter - WALL DECAL
Since there are so many color schemes associated with the various houses and families, pretty much any color wall paint can be made to look amazing in a Harry Potter themed bedroom. I'm a particular fan of using some shade of light grey, however. It looks amazing with some of the deep Gryffindor reds and gives the room a very castle-like feel, which is magic!

Solemnly Swear Up to No Good
HARRY POTTER ~ WALL DECAL
Don't leave those freshly painted walls bare either. There's lots of fun ways you can decorate your Harry Potter themed dorm room, starting with some cute decals. There's lots of decals featuring quotes from the book, such as the one above, which are a great way to show off your fandom. You can also pick up a giant Harry Potter wall decal or this pack of smaller character and house crest decals.

If you are really looking to emulate the wizarding world, why not hang up some Hogwarts wall banners, and some 'Undesirables' wanted posters? You can also bring the characters from the series right into your bedroom with some of these awesome life-sized stand-up posters.

Harry Potter Bedroom Accessories

Gringotts Bank Ornament
Last but not least, you'll need some cute decorative accessories to give your bedroom the finishing touch. Hallmark make a lot of beautiful bedroom ornaments that are a wonderful place to start, such as the amazing Gringotts replica above, and this Harry and Voldemort final battle ornament, this Dumbledore and Harry figurine.

Wizarding World Harry Potter
Buckbeak 13" Large Plush Doll
If you are a huge fan of teddies and plushies, then you are in luck - you can get loads of Harry Potter creature comforts out there, such as Hedwig, Fluffy, Fawkes the Phoenix, Crookshanks, Scabbers the rat, and the cute Buckbeak teddy featured on the right. Collect all of your favorites and make a big pile of them!

So that's my guide to creating your very own wizarding world, right there in your bedroom. I hope you found some cool knick-knacks and have a lot of fun decorating!

Ballerina Themed Bedroom Decor Ideas

Ballet Dancer Ballerina 4pc Set by Sweet Jojo Designs
I loved ballet (and tap dance!) when I was a kid, sadly I have two left feet so I was never any good at it. I always love seeing the passion little girls have for dance, and so I thought I'd make this how-to guide for parents looking to decorate their daughter's room in a ballerina style as a fun treat, with all my favorite ballet bedroom accessories. Let's get started!

Ballerina Themed Bedding

Cherry Blossom Ballerina Bedding
First things first - bedding! There's a number of adorable ballerina bedding available out there, so many that I made a post on my top five which you can check out here. Most ballerina style bedding sets are some variation of a dainty and delicate pink and white color scheme, maybe with a dash of lilac or pastel green, which makes it a great theme for all the girly-girls out there and adds a lot of light, brightness and visual space to a bedroom.

If you are looking for something less pink and more stark and bold though, check out the bedding on the right. Its an artistic rendition of the famous Marilyn Monroe ballerina photo, and it would look simply incredible in an older ballet fan's room.


Ballerina Themed Wall Decorations
Housewares Vinyl Decal Custom Personal Name Ballet Ballerina Home Wall Art
Ballerina Tutu Giant Wall Decals
For wall color, any light or pastel color will work wonders - any shade of white or cream, yellows, pinks and peaches, lilacs, and even a very pale green. Darker shades of purple and pink will also look lovely, but make sure not to go too dark!

Ballerina Canvas Art
When it comes to decorating your walls, there are a lot of fun wall decals that you can pick from. If you like a cutesy cartoon style, the adorable decals on the right are perfect, and for a more artsy style that can even be personalized with you or your child's name, check out the decal above. 

Traditional art work looks very good in a ballet style room, and there is an abundance of ballet themed canvas art (like the gorgeous one on the left which is part of a series) and artistic posters like this one here. Shop around for the ones you like best and go wild!

Ballerina Themed Furniture

Children`s Triple Ballerina Pedestal Table With Glass Top
Prima Ballerina Rocker
Next up, ballerina style furniture! Yay! My personal favorite is the amazing pedestal table featured above, which is so bold and beautiful. Any young dancer is sure to love it. Why not top it with a ballerina shoe vase and a bouquet of flowers?

If you want some cute ballerina style chairs, on the right is a very sweet rocker chair, and you can pick up some normal ballerina style chairs for kids here. Activity tables are a fun idea, and while I haven't been able to find any with ballerina decor, this fun white and pink table with matching chairs is sure to fit perfectly with other ballerina decor. 


Ballerina Themed Lighting
Ballet Dancer Ballerina Lamp Shade by Sweet Jojo Designs
Kurt Adler Ballet Slippers Light Set
Looking for some lighting for your ballet bedroom? The Sweet Jojo lamp shade above is a great start, and if you went for the bedding at the top of this post, its part of the matching set! Otherwise, a plain or frilly pink or white lampshade would look wonderful. Another cute idea is to hang up some fairy lights - on the right are lights shaped like ballet slippers that look seriously pretty. 

One style of lighting which always looks amazing in this sort of bedroom is a mini-chandelier light. The one I think would look best is the Pretty in Pink pull-chain lamp. 

Ballerina Themed Accessories

Set of 3 Ballerina Girl Figurines Sweet Poses Ballet
Last but not least, accessories galore! Ballerina figurines are a-plenty, and are a lot of fun to collect. My favorite is the set of three semi-realistic dancers above, but you can also get more kitsch designs like this little cutie here. Ballerina jewelry boxes or a slipper shoe picture frame would also look super cute on a girl's nightstand. 

Decorative Ballerina Shoe Vase
For older dancers, I recommend two accessories in particular. The first is the simply mind-blowingly cute ballerina shoe vase on the left, and the second is this very beautiful ballerina folding screen. 

So that's my guide to making a super sweet and pretty ballerina bedroom for the little dancer in your life. I hope you found lots of fun stuff to get you started and have a tonne of fun decorating.
