Add a touch of firefighter decor

Oh, yes, you can get tons of firefighter decor items. Things very specifically designed for a firefighter room. But, let’s think just a bit out of the norm, shall we?

As I think of a fireman bedroom, this is definitely a place to consider the elements that make the whole. For example, think of the bedroom as a firehouse. And what do you need for a firehouse? How about brick walls! Easy to do with a mural or wallpaper.

Among the other elements would be poles, ladders, hoses and general fireman gear. Keep an eye out for things that remind you of those (or even are specifically those things) that would work in the room. The storage unit pictured here is just meant to be pretty, but doesn’t it look like a ladder? You could decorate the canvas storage units with something fireman related to tie it in even more.

Check out fireman costume and dress-up play sets as well. The pieces tend to be plastic, making them light to hang. You could get an ax, fire extinguisher, badge, helmet and other items that way to hang on the walls.

Oh, and if you take a trip to check out your local firehouse, you’ll probably get a ton more ideas!

Boy Bedroom Ideas: Firefighter Elmo

I often talk about mixing themes for kids. Which gets me blank stares occasionally. But there are times when it’s obvious to everyone and you see the light click on.

One such is an idea I had for an Elmo firefighter room. It all started with the NYFD Elmo plush doll they came out with a couple of years ago. (Isn’t Elmo cute in that gear?) Then the Sesame Street Fire Department bedding came out and, well, there you go.

Now, those are really the only specifically Elmo/Sesame Street and fireman pairings out there. Supplement it with either solids in red, yellow and black (to match Elmo) or general fireman toys and decor.

One of my favorite ideas would be to do your own photo series. Take fireman Elmo down to the firehouse and see if they’ll let you take pictures of him on the truck, sliding down the pole – wherever would be interesting. Do just Elmo or dress your son up as well and get them both in action. Three to five pictures gives you a good collection and builds the theme out. (Would love to see pictures if you do that!)
