If your children sleep on bunk beds in their room, you can modify your kids bunk beds so they will look whimsical and fun. Lots of great ideas are available for bunk beds but before you start on the project, check with your children to see what theme they would prefer for their bed and bedroom. You can decorate a bunk bed so it resembles a meadow scene Your young daughters might love a meadow concept for their bunk beds. For it to resemble the sky, paint the top bunk with sky blue paint and include images like a sun and some clouds. You can either paste pictures of clouds and a sun, or utilize stencils to make the shapes on the sky-blue background. You can make the lower bunk look like the ground by painting it with green and brown colors. On the lower bed frame surface, you can paint images like butterflies and blooms. Additional props like flower garlands may also be used and twisted around the bed's guardrails and posts. Placing the props on the ladder or hanging them too low can make it very risky for your child's movement of going up and down the ladder. Decorate bunk beds to resemble a palace A castle motif will work well for both little boys and girls. Towers made of cardboard tubes and paper mache can be used to cap the top of bed posts. Include some flags at the tower tops for accents. Paint the bed posts and the framework of the bed to resemble a stone structure. You can also modify the floor surrounding the bed and design it like a moat. A blue-colored carpet can be put around the bed. Cut a piece of cardboard and paint it in a way that it resembles a wooden draw bridge, and lay it over the blue carpet perpendicular to the bunk bed. Install decorative lights Multi-colored lighting can be both practical and decorative for your child's bunk bed. Attach colorful push lights around the bed or on the bed posts so the kids can move around in the dark. Paint the ladder with luminescent paint so that it glows in the dark and give your kids a better visibility when they climb in the dark. Follow a tree-house theme Accessorize your youngsters' bunk bed to resemble a tree house. Buy wallpaper that has a tree and apply it on the wall behind the bed. Instead of purchasing wallpaper, you can just draw on cardboard and cut out the tree design to attach behind the bed. You can make the bed look like a tree house by painting it with brown paint. Add more decors like artificial vines along the sides of your bed. Artificial flowers and plastic fruits can be hung on the posts of the bed too. You only need imagination and a bit of resourcefulness to come up with bunk beds that are both practical and interesting for kids.
