Noah's Ark Bedroom Ideas

A Noah's ark theme in the bedroom has quite a lot to offer to the interior decorator. Its rich visual imagery allows you to bring this theme to life in a number of different ways in a bedroom. You can use each of these ideas individually or employ several together. Further, depending upon the visual elements you choose, you can tailor this room so that it appeals to many different age groups.
  1. Wall Art

    • The benefit of hanging Noah's Ark-themed wall art in the bedroom is that you get to choose from lots of different artistic styles as you decorate the walls. You can select the art of just one artist, such as Greg Olsen, or feature a gallery of different artists' take on the theme. If you opt for more than one artist, choose matching frames for all the pieces in your Noah's Ark gallery. Some possible places that you'll find Noah-themed art is in children's picture books, in Christian gift stores or on the Internet, or if you are artistically inclined, create some drawings or paintings with the Noah's Ark theme.

    The Bed

    • The bed most often functions as the focal point in the bedroom. In a Noah's Ark-themed room, you can reinforce this by choosing bedding that features the ark. Look for bedspreads that show the animals entering the ark two by two, and choose throw pillows that have animals on them. Paint the headboard with a Noah's Ark mural. Some stuffed animals would look good decorating each side of the bed in pairs.

    Wooden Toy Collection

    • Noah's Ark has been the featured subject of many toy sets. Some of the most durable are the types made from wood. These include three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles of Noah and his ark as well as some carved wooden figurines complete with the big boat. Display your ark-themed treasures on a shelf that you've set aside specifically for this purpose, or place them on top of the dresser. Look for pieces that feature bright paint as they'll provide more visual interest to the bedroom.

    Decoupage

    • Decoupage allows those who are avid crafters the opportunity to bring the Noah's Ark theme to fruition in a bedroom. Decoupage is a simple craft technique involving glue and some photos or illustrations. Find the graphic material for this project in the pages of magazines or books. Cut the Noah-themed pictures out, and glue them onto the dresser, the windowsill or rocking chair. Once the glue is dry, coat the piece with a mixture of craft glue and water, and allow it to dry for a couple of days.
