🐾 Wild at Heart: Animal-Inspired Bedroom Ideas for Kids
Every child has that one animal they’re obsessed with whether it’s a lion, dolphin, llama, or sloth. So why not bring that love to life with a bedroom makeover that turns their space into an adventure? An animal-themed room adds personality, sparks curiosity, and creates a comforting space where imagination can run wild.
At Little Squiffy, our Animal Quilt Cover range is packed with colourful, cosy designs that help you build a space that’s as wild and wonderful as they are.
🛏️ Let the Bed Set the Scene
Start with the quilt cover it’s the biggest visual element in the room and the easiest way to set the theme. Choose from bold, lifelike animal designs or cute, illustrated styles depending on your child’s age and taste.
Popular picks include:
- Firstborn Quilt Cover Set — perfect for bold, brave little explorers
- Cute Butterfly Elephant Personalised Set — ideal for toddlers and little dreamers
-
Under the Seashell Quilt Cover Set — for ocean lovers dreaming of marine adventures
Keep the rest of the bedding neutral or colour-matched to the design it makes the quilt cover pop and helps keep the room from feeling too busy.
🧸 Bring the Theme to Life with Accessories
Once the bed is sorted, it’s time to build out the rest of the room. Here's where you can get creative:
- Wall Art: Animal silhouettes, watercolour prints, or even framed animal facts
- Stuffed Toys: Plush animals that match their quilt —imagine a giraffe on the bed with matching pillows
- Rugs and Curtains: Stick to earthy colours or patterns like paw prints, leaves, or zebra stripes
- Wall Decals: Easy to apply and remove, perfect for renters
For younger kids, this visual stimulation can be comforting and help develop language and recognition skills (“Where’s the penguin? What sound does the lion make?”)
🎨 Make It Personal
Want the room to feel extra special? Add your child’s name to the mix. Our Personalised Quilt Cover Sets allow you to feature their name front and centre, with your chosen design.
This simple touch makes the room feel like it’s truly theirs — great for birthdays or milestone gifts.
🗄️ Storage Tips That Match the Theme
No kid’s room is complete without clever storage. Try:
- Animal Baskets: Canvas storage tubs with animal faces are perfect for toys, books, or laundry
- Under-bed drawers: Great for seasonal clothes or extra linen
- Wall-mounted shelves: Use them to display animal figurines, books, or bedtime stories featuring their favourite animals
The key is balancing form and function keeping the room organised while sticking with the playful theme.
🌈 Encourage Creativity and Learning
Animal themes aren’t just fun — they’re educational. Turn the bedroom into a mini learning zone by incorporating books, puzzles, and posters with interesting animal facts.
You can even pick themes that match your child’s interests:
- Jungle: Monkeys, tigers, parrots
- Australian Wildlife: Koalas, kangaroos, cockatoos
- Ocean: Dolphins, turtles, sharks
- Farm: Pigs, cows, chickens
This keeps their love for animals growing while making the bedroom a calm, inspiring space.
