Pirate style finishing features
“If the use of numerous decorations on the wall surfaces of the children’s room in an unusual pirate style is not intended, then you can “dress” them in thematic wallpaper, across the expanses of which ships or inhabitants of the depths of the sea will sail, or maybe the shores of yet undiscovered islands will stretch out on them »
The spirit of pirate adventurism in the interior is created with the help of characteristic attributes and thematic design, however, considerable attention should also be paid to finishing work.

When choosing a color palette, you need to choose between shades that symbolize the sea, namely:
- Blue.
- Emerald.
- Green.
- Gray.
In addition to them, you can take brown, yellow, white, red shades and, naturally, black colors. From color combinations, you can use white-blue-brown and white-brown-orange classics or come up with something more original.

Since great importance is attached to decorating walls in a pirate interior, most often their surfaces are made monochromatic. In this case, all the accessories that tell about the cheerful life of a pirate will look very colorful. If the use of numerous decorations on the wall surfaces of the children’s room in an unusual pirate style is not intended, then you can “dress” them in thematic wallpaper, across the expanses of which ships or inhabitants of the depths of the sea will sail, or perhaps the shores of yet undiscovered islands will stretch out on them. Nothing here will limit your choice, so feel free to use your imagination.
Striped wallpaper will suit this interior, but again with blue and white “marine” stripes. Stripes, by the way, will give the room additional visual height. Such wall decor will be successfully complemented by red and black themed accessories, something like a lifebuoy or “Jolly Roger”.
Treasure chests in a children's room in a pirate style
To highlight some areas and further decorate the walls, you can use the following techniques:
- Photo wallpapers with seascapes, uninhabited islands and other exotic images of this area. This solution will help not only create a children’s room in a pirate style, but also correct spatial deficiencies .
- Images of geographical maps, with diagrams of treasure locations. Thematic wallpaper of this kind is not a problem to purchase today, but “live” handmade work will look much more effective. This pattern can be reproduced very quickly if you use a stencil in your work. If drawing is not your thing, then you can turn to professionals. They will be happy to paint the walls with entire pirate scenes.
- Panoramic drawings with a marine theme will help highlight and decorate the playing area.
- Vinyl stickers. If you think that a children's room decorated in a pirate style may quickly become boring for your child, then using vinyl stickers is exactly what you need. You can remove them or replace them with new ones at any time. Such stickers will not harm the main coating of walls and furniture.

The ceiling surface is ideally finished in white tones. If you plan to turn the room into a ship's hold, then wooden beams may well appear on the ceiling. They will be very appropriate in this decor. Photo printing on the ceiling looks beautiful and unusual. You can depict the sky or the same sea expanses on it. The floor in such a room, naturally, should be made of boards or at least imitate a wooden structure. The effect of a ship's deck can be created with parquet or laminate.
Jolly Roger for the joy of a child
The soul of every boy gravitates towards exploits and adventures. Decorating a room with elements of a pirate style suits all children without exception:
- the theme of scuba diving will appeal to quiet kids prone to imagination;
- girls happily take on the role of beautiful mermaids, and boys enthusiastically become brave explorers of the depths of the sea;
- decorating a room based on sea voyages and geographical discoveries is suitable for children of any age.
Pirate design, implemented in its purest form, will appeal to kids prone to all sorts of adventures.
How to furnish a children's room in a pirate style?
The furniture in the pirate room should be wooden. In addition to the fact that this is very much in keeping with the style, it is also environmentally friendly, which is very important for decorating any children’s room. The bed can be turned into a ship, boat, yacht, or simply made rough and uncouth, as if careless. You can successfully complement the design with ropes, textiles and a pirate flag. The work area can be made into a captain's cabin, and the play area can be made into a coastal strip.

Replace a standard closet with a chest of drawers and style it as a chest filled with treasures. Standard wooden chairs can be replaced by barrels, which can be used as mini storage rooms for storing things or small toys. The upholstery of upholstered furniture should be either plain, in a calm palette, or a striped combination of white and red or white and blue.
Marine palette - a play of color
The nursery becomes pirate-like thanks to the contrast of calm and dynamic colors.
Calming the active
An energetic child will be calmed by a harmonious combination of traditional sea colors - dark blue, light blue, azure, aqua. It is best to make the floor wooden or “wood-like”, choosing fairly dark, but not oppressive shades. All cabinet furniture should also be made of natural wood.
Invigorating the passive
For a calm boy's room, more contrasts should be used. When creating a pirate atmosphere, the primary colors are indispensable - blue and rich white, diluted with splashes of red.

Highlights of pirate decor
“In a children’s room in a pirate style, a vintage brown-sand-colored globe, paintings with drawings of pirate maps, and a compass would be appropriate.”
One of the final stages of creating a children's room in an exciting pirate style will be the design of the window area. When selecting textiles, pay more attention to natural fabrics, especially linen. A good solution would be Roman blinds made of this fabric. You can hide the window behind textiles with drapery reminiscent of the sails of a frigate lowered in anticipation of the wind. An integral attribute of a pirate's lair will be a tight rope-type rope with a sea knot at the end. You can make excellent grabs from it. Bedspreads and bedding should also support the adventurous spirit of the room. Sofa cushions in the shape of an anchor, a circle or a black flag will adequately continue the chosen concept.

Finding interesting decorative elements in a pirate style today is not at all a problem. If space allows, then in the decor of such a stylish children's room you can use a fishing net, a real hammock (great if it is made of canvas), install a telescope, and a steering wheel. You can make a whole gallery of pirate flags on the walls, and decorate the shelves with elements stylized as rum bottles. In a children's room in a pirate style, a vintage brown-sand colored globe, paintings with drawings of pirate maps, and a compass would be appropriate. Imitations of ships often appear in the setting. You can place a parrot on their makeshift mast. If the room is not spacious enough to find a corner for a “pirate vessel,” you can decorate the room with models of sailboats installed inside glass bottles.
It is very important to find light sources that will not only cope well with the task of illuminating an unusual interior, but will also fit into the overall style with their exterior. Such sconces, chandeliers and table lamps will become full-fledged decorative elements. Today, in the assortment of almost every store you can see lighting fixtures in a pirate style.

Invitations
Invitation letters for a pirate party for children are made to look like vintage treasure maps. Parents have two options here. If the holiday is intended for a small company, the sheets are aged with their own hands. Prepare a solution of 10 tsp. coffee and 1 liter of boiling water, immerse the paper in it for 10-15 minutes and dry it with a hairdryer. The blank is crumpled by hand so that it looks slightly shabby, and then the invitation is written by hand in black ink on the finished background. The main thing is that the handwriting is legible and the guest can read the text.
If a big event is planned or parents do not have time for crafts, the invitation template is downloaded from the Internet and printed on a color printer. The text is inserted into the letter using a graphic editor. The main thing is to choose an ornate font in an old style. The finished invitation is slightly crumpled so that it does not look too new.
Sometimes parents try to show all their creativity when writing a letter, but for a children's party the main thing is not to overdo it. A child is unlikely to understand a joke about a barrel of rum (just like his parents), so they try to make the text simple and concise:
“Hello, young pirate!
Captain (child's name) invites you to his party, which will take place on (date and time). The following coordinates will help you find treasure island: (address). In order for the captain to distinguish you from the land spies, you must have a pirate accessory: a bandana, earrings, an eye patch or a hook. Don't forget to take a good mood with you and be ready for adventure.
Fair wind!
The invitation letter is rolled up and tied with twine. You can add a candy in the form of a gold coin to it or specially order sweets in a package with a picture of a parrot. The child hands out scrolls to each guest personally.
Non-standard methods of designing invitations also include:
- small chests made of cardboard;
- sheets of paper folded in the shape of a pirate cocked hat;
- invitations in the form of ships;
- black marks from the Phantom Captain;
- messages with easy puzzles and rebuses;
- letters decorated with marine attributes: fish, stars, octopuses.
