Ideas For a Harry Potter Theme Room

In honor of the upcoming Harry Potter movie - Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows - I've posted some cool Harry Potter bedroom ideas! Things I love about this room-

• purple walls
• suitcase dresser
• the bed, the bed!!
• the pillows on the bed!
• mirror of Erised in the corner
• simple pennant valance

Such an easy way to add a Harry Potter feel to a room with removable vinyl decals. Even though the decals are no longer available to purchase, I wanted to share the idea. Image from here.

I'm loving Hedwig flying in the air. Image from here.

Great way to recycle pages in a book and also create a Harry Potter feel. DIY instructions and image from here.

Harry Potter bookcases painted on the closet door - clever! Image from here.


A frame was painted around the mirror to mimic the Mirror of Erised. The mirror frame was spray painted gold to match the gold frame surround. Image from here.

What to do with the space under the stairs?
Make it into a Harry Potter Cupboard!

While visiting my cousins family, I was fortunate enough to be taken to their friend Kamile Stewart's home for a tour. Kamile created this room under her stairwell as a little hangout for the kids. She hired a muralist to paint the mural scenes. It was hard to get photos of the whole "room", but you get the idea. Thanks to Kamile for sharing her beautiful home and her creativity.

Love the keys hanging from the light fixture....

Fun hangout....

Creative Closet: Wizard/Harry Potter Theme

What to do with the interior of a long, narrow awkward space closet? Paint a cool mural and make it a fun hideout for your kids to enjoy. Morgan from Murals By Morgan says this, "This large closet was the brain child of two very creative children. The girl wanted to have the mural feel like you were inside a tree house in a community of tree houses. The boy wanted a wizards den, and many of the interesting details came out of his ideas. The fish tank was for the youngest brother, who didn’t talk much but had a fascination with fish. The result: A creative hideout that all the kids can enjoy. "

The mural gives sort of a Harry Potter feel.
