“If the use of numerous decorations on the wall surfaces of the children's room in an unusual pirate style is not supposed, then they can be “dressed” in themed wallpapers, along the expanses of which ships or inhabitants of the deep sea will sail, or maybe the shores of yet undiscovered islands will stretch on them »

Since great importance is attached to decorating walls in a pirate interior, most often their surfaces are made plain. In this case, all the accessories that tell about a fun pirate life will look very colorful. If the use of numerous decorations on the wall surfaces of a children's room in an unusual pirate style is not expected, then they can be “dressed” in themed wallpapers, along the expanses of which ships or inhabitants of the deep sea will sail, or maybe the shores of yet undiscovered islands will stretch on them. Here, nothing will limit your choice, so feel free to connect your imagination.
Striped wallpapers will suit such an interior, but again with blue-white "marine" stripes. Stripes, by the way, will give the room additional visual height. Red and black themed accessories, something like a life buoy or a Jolly Roger, will successfully complement such wall decor.
To highlight some zones and additionally decorate the walls, you can use such techniques as:
- Wall mural with seascapes, uninhabited islands and other exotic images of this direction. Such a solution will help not only create a pirate-style children's room, but also correct spatial imperfections..

The ceiling surface is ideally finished in white. If it is intended to turn the room into a ship hold, then wooden beams may well appear on the ceiling. In this decor, they will be very appropriate. Photo printing on the ceiling looks beautiful and unusual. On it you can depict the sky or the same expanses of the sea. The floor in such a room, of course, should be made of boards or at least imitate a wooden structure. The effect of the deck of a ship can be created with parquet or laminate.

The furniture in the pirate room should be wooden. In addition to being very in the spirit of style, it is also environmentally friendly, which is quite important for decorating any children's room. The bed can be turned into a ship, a boat, a yacht, or simply made rough and uncouth, as if careless. You can successfully complete the design with ropes, textiles and a pirate flag. The working area can be made the captain's cabin, and the play area - the coastal strip.
Replace the standard wardrobe with a chest of drawers and style it like a chest filled with treasures. Standard wooden chairs can replace barrels, which can be used as mini closets for storing things or small toys. The upholstery of upholstered furniture should be either plain, in a calm range, or a striped combination of white and red or white and blue.
