- Create a bunkhouse where your buckaroos can congregate after a long day on the range. Decoration options include cowboy boot lamps, horse-themed bedding and a spur chandelier. You could use a rustic red, white and blue color palette with bandanna valances on the windows to match or make it fit for a cowgirl with pink lassos hanging off the bunk bed posts and a pink, white and blue color scheme.
- If your children are fascinated by military items, let them showcase their love for soldiers with a barracks-themed space. Cover the bunk beds in camouflage bedding and use the colors as the inspiration for the rest of the color palette. Decoration ideas include old framed military photos of relatives and shadow boxes containing flags and medals. Finish off the look with binoculars, canteens or other military gear hanging off the posts of the bunk beds.
- Create a vacation spot for your children to enjoy every night year around. Cover the walls in photo collages from past camp years, making sure to leave room for more. Bring in rough wood furniture for a log cabin feel. Other decoration ideas include making shadow boxes that include T-shirts from past years and building a fake log campfire surround in front of a heater during the winter months.
- Give a bedroom a fantasy tree house look for kids who can't get enough of the outdoors. Decoration ideas include draping the beds in mosquito net curtains for a woodsy feel, hanging a hammock in the corner and painting a mural on the walls to mimic the visual appearance of being high up in the treetops.
- Bring in a love for travel with a transportation theme. Turn the bunk beds into sleeping compartments in an old luxury railway car, a steamship, pirate ship or rocket ship. Dress the bed in fabrics that fit your chosen look, such as velvet-like covers for a railway car, navy blue comforters for a steamship, black blankets for pirates or silver-colored bedding for astronauts. Let the travelers who sleep in the room have a hand in picking out the rest of the decorations.
