Castle Themed Bedroom Ideas

Every little one is the star of their own fairy tale, the fair prince or princess engaged in fabulous adventure after adventure, the majestic king or queen ruling over the land. So it only makes sense to give your child the kind of bedroom in which they can live out all those fantasies. Thanks to the advent of the custom theme bed, you can now do just that for a price far less than a king's (or queen's) ransom.

As for furniture, the preeminent unifying piece that helps pull all the various and sundry other design elements of the room together into a cohesive whole is a custom castle bed. A custom castle bed can serve as a place to sleep, play, socialize, and study, as well as store all the many belongings that comprise a king or queen's typical repertoire. Adding a loft bed or canopy bed (or both) to the custom castle bed only richens the image of royalty. As does an authentic appearing drawbridge, castle gates, and turrets and battlements.

Pick colors for the custom theme bed that you can easily complement with the colors of the other furniture, accessories, and design elements you plan to include in the room. Choosing your color scheme early on will help you inordinately in picking out all the other elements you use in rounding out the fantasy image of the medieval theme bedroom. For girls, pink is a popular color that can never really steer you wrong, with highlights of red, white, and yellow adding depth and flair. For a boy, a blue or purple castle bed connotes that air of majesty, as does a gold or silver one. It all depends, of course on the preferences of the young king or queen in question.

Giving texture to the custom castle bed that makes it look like the structure was built from stone is another great way to evoke the sense of living in medieval times. As does adding authentic accessories to the room surrounding the custom castle bed, like a coat of arms, a knight's armor, a flag flying high with your child's own private family crest, and large framed portraits lining the walls.

A long red carpet on the floor leading from the entrance of the medieval theme bedroom to the entrance of the custom castle bed is another way to add genuineness to the motif.

With a multipurpose furniture piece like a custom castle bed as its focal point, you'll hardly need to scout out much more in the way of additional furniture items - just a chair or two really. A desk, settee, dressing table, and wardrobe can all be built right into the custom theme bed.
