I was very excited to order a life size photo of my son on Monster clings.com as I had never heard of the concept.  It just took 3 easy steps on-line and when I received my monster cling it exceeded all of my expectations.  It was very easy to place on his wall and I will always remember the look on my his face when he saw it for the first time!!!! 

 

Thank you Monster Clings for a very personalized and unique gift for my son!!

“I was really happy when I got it.  It’s awesome!  It’s not blurry, no red eyes, and it’s cut perfectly around the lines.  My friends think it’s really cool.”

Using Themes to Decorate Kids’ Rooms

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Using themes is one way to simplify kid’s room decorating.  There are so many decorating ideas, where do you start?

Kids Room Decorating Ideas - Dale Earnhardt

First, think of the person you are creating the room for.  What are his/her interests?  Maybe there is a particular character from a book, or television show.  The person you are designing the room for may have a special hobby, interest or favorite sport.  Look through books, mmagazines and even online to find a theme that best suits the person whom you are decorating for.

Once you pick out the theme, you need to coordinate the color of the room within the theme.  Think about the color(s) that go along with the character, sports team, etc.  You can shop for paint, wallpaper, or borders to reinforce your theme.  Choose a background color for the walls that accent your theme.  Select coordinating fabrics, prints and accessories that go along with your theme.

Create a focal point in the room.  Use a Monster Cling on one of the bedroom walls that enhances the whole theme of the room.  For example, if your room is designed around a race car, have a 6 foot Monster Cling made of a favorite driver or the driver’s car.

Make sure you plan for growth.  In no time, your cute baby will be a toddler and then going off to school.  Monster Clings are easily removed, unlike wallpaper or borders.  So when your child is ready for a new theme for his/her bedroom, just peel off the cling and get a new one!

Choose bedding and window treatments that will enhance both the color and the theme of the room.  A good rule to follow for a themed, coordinated room is to repeat each color, fabric, and print (if possible) in at least three places around the room.  If you do, everything will really tie together.  When it comes to children’s bedrooms and bedroom themes, the sky is the limit.
