Children love to explore. What better way to set their imagination free than creating their own underwater adventure themed bedroom? It's an easy and affordable bedroom theme to complete when you follow the seven simple steps outlined in this article.

1. Use water themed wallpaper to set the theme of your room.

There are several water themed wallpaper selections available today. You will want to select one of the papers available that simulate an under the ocean theme to create the perfect backdrop for aquatic style bedroom designs.

2. Install a mural or get artistic with paint.

Why not hang a submarine wall mural over your water themed wallpaper to make it a focal point in the room? If you are the artistic type, paint one wall blue to match the wallpaper and then draw your submarine in pencil and fill in with paint to create your own custom submarine wall accent.

3. Marine life wall decals set the theme.

Wall decals are removable and reusable which makes them the perfect addition when creating a theme in any room. Not only will the wall decals bring a fun theme into your room, but they can add hours of entertainment for your children. Your child can put fish, coral, sharks and other sea life all over the walls!

4. Go bargain shopping.

Check your local discount stores and thrift stores and try to find a fish theme lamp. There are many nautical and fish themed lamps available that would make an adorable addition to any room decorated with an underwater theme.

5. Try blue carpeting or a rug.

By using a carpeting or rug in a tone that matches your wallpaper, you will be simulating the water on the ground and carrying your design theme onto the floor. This will help your child feel that they are a part of the adventure.

6. Create your own foam core fish.

Another idea that is easy to implement is creating your own foam core fish. You can find your favorite fish photos online, cut them out and then glue them onto foam core. Next, cut the shapes out of the foam core and use adhesive squares to make the fish stand off of the accent or hang from the ceiling for a 3-D effect. If you are going to hang them from the ceiling, remember to make them double sided so that they seem more realistic.

7. Use underwater themed accents as finishing touches.

Consider a pirate treasure chest that will double as storage. Or, how about a salt water fish tank on a desk or dresser? Use your imagination to put together a coral display on a book shelf or any other underwater creative that you and your child can invent.
