It’s funny how an animal that’s been extinct for thousands of years is still alive and well in the hearts of our children. Boys and girls alike are still fascinated by these gargantuan beasts, and so, as parents, we must be too. My youngest son is getting old enough now to be aware of his surroundings, and he’s completely obsessed with dinosaurs. It’s about time to start decorating his room like a boy’s room instead of the sweet nursery it’s been since he was born.

Since he loves dinosaurs so much I’ve been looking for some inspiration and found plenty! Check out these great dinosaur decorating ideas for kids rooms:

Of course I didn’t stop at inspiration! I went searching for some cute dinosaur accents I could use, too. I decided I didn’t want to go cartoon dinosaur, rather I’d prefer “upscale dinosaur”—if there is such a thing! Here are a few fun dinosaur-themed decor items I found that I thought looked nice:

Dino Moving Mobiles from Pottery Barn Kids

Dinosaur Planter from BoyGirlTees

Dino Rattan Hamper from Pottery Barn Kids

What theme did you use to decorate your kids’ rooms?
