PIRATE THEME BEDROOMS

Pirate themes are fun and full of adventure and you don’t have to learn to talk like a pirate to have a great time pretending to be one. Be the pirate queen or king of the bay for a day. Learn the words to some old pirate songs and put on the pirate coat and tricorn hat and come up with some cool pirate names for me and you because we’re going on an adventure.

Pirate movies have been enjoyed by kids ever since movies have been made and before then, pirate books were all the rage.

When putting together a pirate bedroom, party or nursery, a trip to grandmother’s attic could be a virtual goldmine of possibilities for accessories with a vintage look. All the props they use for the popular pirate movie of the moment look pretty old and moldy, so stuff that have been doing time gathering dust in a box might be more valuable than anything you could buy at the home decorating store! Of course things have to be cleaned up enough to be around kids, especially if they’re allergic to dust and mold but all the dents and dings in silver or gold plate items are destined to become your pirate accessories that add to your pirate themed bedding set! Drag out that old gold leaf candelabra with the cherubs on it and use it to fill your pirate’s treasure chest.

Make your own signs with pieces of old wood, letter them with the names of famous pirate ships and display them over the portholes (windows). There are lots of pirate crafts that you can have lots of fun making yourself and then use them as pirate room or party decorations. A pirate hat transforms nicely into a decorative accessory.

There are some really cool pirate wallpapers on the market if your decorating budget can handle it, but if you don't have the booty in the chest for it right now, don't jump ship just yet! For your pirate theme wall decorations, nothing more elaborate than an old sheet or a home made map drawn on some brown paper bags may be necessary. Take the brown sack apart at the seams and press it flat. Draw a detailed treasure map with the buried treasure chest image drawn with lots of interesting pirate theme landmarks along the way with a stubby piece of charcoal right out of the bar-b-que pit as a marking tool. Take a lighter and singe the edges of the ancient map and then crinkle it slightly just to give it an antique, wrinkled leather look. What an easy DIY wall decoration and an inexpensive substitute for pirate wallpaper or sunken pirate ship wall murals.

Think of some cool pirate theme nursery and bedroom decorations that you might find in granny’s attic would be an old trunk. You know the kind that’s part wood and part metal with the arched or curved lid? It doesn’t matter that the lining is all water marked and stained, it will work nicely for a pirate’s treasure chest. Of course, you can make your own faux antique pirate treasure chest with most any box painted black with a jolly roger stenciled on the lid or front.

Use tattered pirate flags as window treatments. Display a pirate skull (left over from the Halloween party) on the shelf by rolled up pirate treasure maps. Pirate theme stuff is so cheap to make!

There are so many fun things to do for a kids pirate room that I can’t put them on this page without causing a major shipwreck, so please check out all the cool pirate nursery theme decorating and gear ideas that I will be adding from time to time. That’s an order, or you'll be walking the plank, matey!
