Themes for Decorating a Children's Clubhouse

These are all amazing ideas, but I STRONGLY suggest that you give them the tools to do these things, all boxed up, and do it together, or even let them do a mural themselves on one wall.

I've noticed a trend. The clubhouse gets a lot more time and attention from the kids if they do the work themselves. It's also a great time to use the experience to teach life lessons about safety, friendship, preparation, foresight (are you going to like this in two years?), etc.

Good luck! And this is a GREAT idea that I am thinking of using for my boys!!!

Uh...the closet clubhouse, not the sparkly chandelier! ;o)

What about Girl's Rock (with fun guitars etc) or Girl Power! You can incorporate their favorite colors!

I saw a makeover show once where they did a Genie In A Bottle theme. It was simple. Lots of hanging panels of sheer fabric in pinks and purples. A hanging moroccan lantern looking chandelier. Tons of big jewel toned pillows to sit and lay on were layed ontop of a "Magic Carpet" (oriental rug). They had found a chest of drawers that had a curved shape to it, to represent the bottle. They painted it a bright turquoise color and replaced all the dawer pulls with jeweled ones. If you could find something like that, you could use it to store art supplies and things they might want to keep in the clubhouse. That would be a cool spot to bring thier friends as they transition to tweens and teens

I am jealous - I wish we had the extra closet space - what a great idea!!! What about a "reading will take you to great places" kind of theme. You could have a space/moon theme on a wall or the Eiffel Tower or Great Wall of China and various animals, ANYTHING! Maybe you can pick some things they like to read about or some favorites along with some new fun things. Then I would put in bean bags or other small kids chairs and a shelf with/for books, one or two reading sconces (hang on the wall)... Maybe go to a local library or nice book store and get some ideas on how they have created some nice reading spaces. I would have LOVED a cozy book nook when I was little!

Girl Power!
(I'm seeing those groovy flowery shapes, like from Laugh-In and The Dating Game!)

I LOVE the ideas you already have!! Can you add a desk in there too? That's something they could grow into. I love that idea of asking them to draw their dream clubhouse... Or even ask them to make a list of their 10 favorite things, and incorporate those as well :)

I wish I had the extra space! Have a fun time!! :)

Ah man, lucky girls! I had a girlfriend growing up whose mom did the same thing with a storage closet under their stairs. I was always so envious and LOVED playing at their house. I remember it being done in a very girly way but pretty. The walls were white but I remember two circle mirrors side by side with pretty dolls sitting on shelves next to them. They had a HUGE barbie house in there with everything barbie. So I guess not much o fa specific theme per se, but it was filled with dolls as that is what they (and me!) loved playing with. Sorry, not much help was I?
