So DS is moving into his new room soon. Yay!
We aren't going to paint a feature wall like we did for the other two bedrooms for kids. So I want some other ways of jazzing up his walls. What can I do?
His bedding is all transport/car themed. MIL is looking for curtains in the same vein. I'd love some removable stickers in a similar theme. Which ones are good? Which ones work? Not too pricey?
What else could I do to his walls/floor?
Ideas please!
Maybe a rug with a car theme - I think you can get some that have like streets etc on them so he can drive his cars on it.
I got some great stickers from a shop called Parenthood, but can't remember what brand the stickers were (will check tonight when home). We have moved house and the stickers moved with us - removed them without damaging the walls at all and they stuck on the new walls like they were brand new!

if you arent doing a mural maybe get a whole bunch of different sized canvas's that have cars etc on them, that way you can put them all up on the wall, but move/rearrange them as you want.
Thanks Janie! Let me know!
Kmart hey Em? Hadn't thought of that...
Canvas is a great idea thanks T! I'll have to check that out too...
someone suggested it to me when I was starting Spock's mural, incase it didn't work that was my backup ;)
Pretty sure Spotlight have some wall art type stuff, just remember off the top of my head what themes they have hun. Cotton ON kids have some from time to time too, we got dinosaurs but I think they change a bit from time to time.
Ebay is generally pretty good for wall stickers - price, size and variety
I bought some from a cheap shop once. I don't think they should have called them 'removable' :rolleyes:
Probably best to spend a few dollars more and get some proper removable ones :)
ETA - I linked you on FB to a kids room decorating page :) I got a heap of Bailey's stuff from there! Walls Stickers are cheaper on Ebay though
I did DS1's in a race theme. I put up a removal race track on his wall & a race track mat. I'm fairly sure there are photos on my fb page if you want to have a look.

There also is some great car mats at toyworld too
We got boof removable stickers from ebay- we did a Supermario theme
they were cheap and look great
will take a pic tommorow and show you at kinder!!!
can get you the name of the company i got them off but they work great and they show you on the packet how to arrange them on the wall

We got DS a car mat at spotlight, he loves it.
We decided not to do the stickers but we got a set of four small canvases instead - car, plane, bus and boat.
Kmart have transport themed doona covers (pretty sure spotlight have them too)
DS also has truck bookends and a few wooden cars and trucks in his room. It's a popular theme so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding what you need! Good luck, I love doing up kids rooms!
I got the girls a big car mat from a carpet place, it's huge and only cost us $15-$20
You could paint your own canvases and glue on some match box cars.
Match box had these cool sets that stuck on the walls & the cars came down them?
Have you seen the magnet strips for little boys to put their cars on.. On pinterest or something on fb.. Will try & find the link.
Wish I had boys :)
Sent from my iPhone, more than likely while I should be doing something else!
Thanks everyone!
Magnetic undercoat, I love it Sop!
Lol ZF... Yours are pretty much boys :lol:
Will have a look at some of these things on Fb thanks ladies! Ooh and eBay!
I really want these things from the Swedish store but can't deal with going back there... Wonder how much delivery is?
Very true, sent you a link on fb.
If we had a toy room I would totally do a car wall ;)

Moo has a helicopter pendent light fitting which he loves. We put various aviation/construction/emergency vehicle wall stickers on the walls and door. I can't remember the brand but we bought them online and they look like they are made out of clay. They look awesome and we have recently swapped his room and the stickers peeled off and restuck perfectly. He has a town car mat on the floor that came from a rug shop, think it cost about $100 but it was the biggest one.
So yeah, very heavily car themed but Moo loves spending time in there. You might be able to see a bit of his walls in his FB pictures :D
I have seen a couple of cute canvasy type things in Store with cars and trains on them. Would get them for Moo but he has enough on his walls :lol:
Have fun!
hey, yea what about a cool car lampshade?? (thanks to Hestia for making me think of that)
I love the light idea!! Off to stalk more facebooks :)
Det, pretty sure I bought the same brand as you for DD, and omg the sooooo weren't removable :o took ages to clean the adhesive off the walls, and the paint is lighter where we had to scrub and scrub. Just a word of warning on the cheap eBay decals.:
Thanks PZ ;)
Just had a quick look but I don't think you can see the decals in Moo's room, sorry! But pretty sure they were called 'Clay Aviation' or similar.
Im doing my DS's room at the moment in a sports theme. Ikea is awesome! So much cool stuff and ideas :)
Bunnings also have some cool light shades and night lights. Reject shops sometimes have some funky knick knacks for decorating ideas.
If your crafty check out pinterest for ideas, or google image 'boy room ideas' and make your own cheaper knock offs :)
I bought a heap of little but different sized and type balls, joined them with fishing line and he has a ball wall border that I think looks pretty cool.
Markets are wicked but so good too ;) The wooden letters for names, bunting, so many gorgeous but expensive things.
I have to admit DD's room was easier I had to stop myself but still having fun with DS's
