Kids Room Wall Decor

The element of surprise is important in home decorating. If you would like to create a uniquely decorated kid's room, hang interesting objects other than traditional pictures and prints on the walls. Here are some ideas.

Decorate with Children's Games
Game boards make interesting wall décor for kids' rooms. Purchase children's games inexpensively at garage sales and thrift stores. Look for colorful boards with striking graphics geared to the age of your child. Hang a few special game boards on the walls of your child's room or cover a whole wall with a mixture of all kinds of games.

Decorate with Children's Playing Cards
Another idea for decorating the walls of kids' rooms is with children's playing cards. You can make unusual collages by overlapping the edges of the kids' game cards to form a picture of whatever size you want. Look for oversized card decks that can be mixed with smaller cards to add variety. Buy children's card games cheaply at thrift stores and garage sales. You may also wish to watch for vintage or modern educational flash cards to include in your project.

Decorate with Children's Puzzles
Consider adding some unusual pictures to your child's room by framing and hanging completed jigsaw puzzles. You will probably need to buy these new to insure that all pieces are present. A grouping of small puzzles with similar themes looks attractive. Or a few large puzzles spaced around the walls.

Decorate with Decoupage Plaques
Decorating with wooden decoupage plaques is another idea. Most of these decoratives are made for hanging on the wall and many have child related images. Local thrift and antique stores as well as garage sales will supply you with an interesting assortment of cute plaques for decorating your child's room.
