Camping decorations help bring the wilderness indoors.
Decorating ideas with a camping theme use inspirations from nature, camping, cabins and traditional outdoor activities. The basic principle behind the style is to bring an outdoor feel to an indoor area. The rustic design always requires ample amounts of natural wood, regardless of whether you're decorating a kitchen or bedroom. Does this Spark an idea?
Camp Dining Room
Have a picnic everyday with a camping-themed dining room. Grass green tiles, sky blue walls and a sky-patterned ceiling provide an outdoor feel to the room. A plain picnic table adds an earthy dining room accent and a picnic table covered with a red-and-white checkered tablecloth adds a cheerful accent.
Try painting tree murals or adding potted faux trees to provide casual and cozy decorations to your camping-themed dining room. Add a stacked picnic bench shelf or a single picnic bench shelf for storage. Place large and small potted plants on the floor, shelves and table to emphasize the earthy tone in the room.
Camp Living Room
Turn your living room into a relaxing sitting area with a camping-theme. Leaf-patterned carpet and forest mural walls provide a cozy atmosphere. A large log cut with a seat and back can use leaf-shaped pillows to provide an earthy couch. Short tree stumps create simple end tables. Try a custom-made coffee table to create a campfire theme. Use a campfire base that rises into a smoky glass column with a matching tabletop for a table that looks like a real fire with smoke.
Basic Kid's Bedroom
Rustic log furniture and a few camping decorations can turn a boring boy's bedroom into an outdoor adventure. Thick, green carpet and a sky-patterned ceiling with glow-in-the-dark stars complement walls covered in a forest-themed mural. Use a realistic mural with trees, grass, birds and flowers or a cartoon mural with colorful trees, rabbits going fishing, birds carrying picnic baskets and so on.
Log bunk beds with flannel sheets and plaid blankets provide a rustic cabin feel. A plain log dresser and night table follow the rustic theme. Add a log toy box with a campfire painted on the front and a kid's log picnic table to carry the theme into a corner play area. Use log picture frames, plaid curtains, wildlife stuffed animals and potted plants for additional decorations.
Fancy Kid's Bedroom
Go all out with a fancy camping theme for a kid's bedroom. Try basic green carpet with sky and forest mural walls. Paint the ceiling with a sky mural, but instead of using glow-in-the-dark stars, install tiny LED lights that can switch on at night to mimic twinkling stars. With some extra planning, you can even re-create the constellations on the ceiling.
A green carpet-covered, hill-shaped bed with an inset mattress and tent canopy provides the ultimate camping-themed bed. A campfire-shaped lamp on a rock-shaped nightstand enforces the rustic camping style. A large, tree stump-shaped piece of wood with bark-covered drawers and bug-shaped knobs provides ample storage space. A tree stump-themed table with toadstool chairs provides a sitting area.
