How to Create a 'roarsome' Dinosaur Bedroom

With Jurassic World become one of the biggest ever cinema blockbuster hits, everyone has once again become obsessed with all things Dinosaur! While our prehistoric pals have long been a favoured choice in children’s home interiors the latest frenzy of dinosaur merchandise has made it even easier to find items and accessories that will create a fun and adventurous ambiance in both  boys and girls bedrooms.

Of course no bedroom would be complete without a luxurious bedding set that features all of your favourite dinosaur species. A popular choice is the classic dinosaur skeleton print that gives a slightly more traditional feel to a children’s bedroom interior and can be accommodated into both younger  children’s and teenagers bedrooms. For nurseries or toddlers bedrooms then bright and bold designs with cartoon style dino images and names will create a fun yet educational feel within their personal space. For something more realistic and scary then select carnivorous T-Rex and Velociraptor images or film based bedding sets featuring their favourite dinosaur scenes.

Cushions and bean bags are another great way of adding texture and pattern to your children’s bedroom area and can be co-ordinated or clashed with their chosen bedding design.  Select bold brachiosaur and triceratops images and partner them with palm or jungle print designs for a classic dinosaur inspired backdrop or alternatively select more graphic skeleton images such as T-Rex heads and Pterosaurs that will look great alongside plain black, red and grey cushions designs. If you prefer a more funky and contemporary look then choose slogan print designs such as ‘roar’, ‘stomp’ and dinosaur names that will look great in elder children’s bedroom areas.

Wall art is a great way of creating a visual focal point in a bedroom area. Choose from classic dinosaur print wallpaper in traditional beige, blue, red and green for a vintage style look or a full width and height wall mural featuring a prehistoric landscape with some of the more famous dinosaur species. Canvases with simple dinosaur silhouette images in a range of monochrome or neon colour schemes will create a more contemporary and sleek finish that is perfect for older children or minimal interior designs. If you wish to create a fun and funky focal point that gives a nod to rural deer and stag head stuffed heads then take a look at this fabulous wall mounted T-Rex head that will give a fabulous 3D texture to a plain painted wall.

Plain wooden flooring and carpet can look a little boring when you are trying to create your very own prehistoric haven so why not add some colour and detail with a fun dinosaur rug that will take centre stage within your room. Classic dino silhouette designs such as stegosaurus, triceratops and diplodocus in classic blue, red and green or for a more jungle inspired look then select grass effect rugs or tree and palm designs that will blend nicely with the Jurassic style colour schemes of the room. For a fun and funky floor covering then select a large dinosaur footprint rug that can be used as a central focal point or can be displayed in a selection of smaller sizes for a dinosaur trail within the room.

Last but not least...Lighting! While you may be trying to create an authentic prehistoric environment, there is no way of admiring your handiwork without a themed lighting design that will illuminate the room and create a visual focal point on the ceiling or bedside area. Simple pedant shades featuring classic dinosaur prints will look fantastic as table lamps or bedside lights and will create pattern and colour against and plain painted backdrop. You can also find a fabulous array of dinosaur shaped lamp bases that will make sculptural feature within the room. For a more unique and museum inspired lighting design then take a look at this amazing Pterodactyl ceiling light that will create fabulous shadows and movement through its open skeletal design.
