There are many decisions to make when creating a theme for your child’s bedroom. If your child shares a bedroom with a sibling, then you need to compromise on what the theme since both children have to live in the space.
If a unified theme is not agreed upon, either because they are different genders or have very different tastes, then you can divide the room in half and let each child express himself or herself-there is nothing wrong with that scenario as long as everyone is happy and each child goes to sleep at night. Even if the themes do not mesh (think Legos and Princesses), you can make the room flow by using complimentary colors. See if there is a way to bridge the two ideas to have the room become a one-of-a-kind space that is inviting to the children who live in it.
As children get older, they should have a say in what colors the room will be in, although you, as the parent, have the final say. When my older daughter was eleven, she wanted lime green walls.
No way was that happening.
We settled on turquoise walls with lime green accents-curtains, lamps, pillows and a throw blanket with that color. It was a compromise that worked for us.
Children also love to have a theme that features their favorite character of the moment. This is one way that they can express themselves, since there is probably no chance that you are going to permit a Spiderman pillow or a Frozen paneled curtain in your living room!
Since their minds will change, it is best that the wall stay a neutral color. Bedding accessories and posters are the quickest, easiest and least expensive ways to update a bedroom.

Luca Lamps Add More Than Light
A lamp is another inexpensive accessory that can brighten up a room in more ways than one! Good lighting is essential for any living space. Children who will be playing and reading in their room need adequate lighting to do those tasks. The perfect accent to a bedside table or to a desk, it can be in a complimentary shade or one that provides a stark contrast.
Disney Luca Bedroom Ideas Wall Decals
If you are looking for an easy way to change up a bedroom, then your go to item are wall decals. Easy to put on and even easier to remove, these change the look of a bedroom or play area in a matter of moments. My own children put their own wall stickers up years ago and then took them down when they got older.
