When I was boy, I was rearrange my room, make a different direction of my bed, move the desk around. I watching TV program Silver Spoons and always jealous of Ricky Schroeder’s car bed. My bed, as neat as it was—a captain’s bed with built-in drawers—wasn’t quite as cool.

When you’re a kid, your bedroom is Shangri-La, the one and only place where you can express your burgeoning tastes and lifestyle, no matter how ill-conceived they might be. Parents only have a short window of time to decorate their kids’ bedrooms; as soon as they reach double-digit tweendom, their bedrooms become closed-door fortresses smothered in pop posters and sports stars. Or worse.

In the meantime, before your kids round the teens, there are lots of great bedroom design themes and fixtures that are way cooler than anything Ricky Schroeder ever had.

As a general rule, stick to a single theme, such as superheroes, animals or fantasies such as princesses. Just remember, you’re decorating for your child, not to your own taste or needs.
