If you have a child who loves cars, a car-themed bedroom can give them a thrill while sparking their imagination and making them truly enjoy their bedroom. In this post, we’ll share some fun ideas, including a selection of car beds, that will make your little one’s heart race with delight.

Show-Stopping Car Beds

The bed is usually the focal point of any bedroom, so a car bed is a key piece in any car-themed child’s bedroom. Here are some ideas from CozyBeds’ car bed collection that our customers love:

1. Low Full-Sized Race Car Bed with Wheels

As its name implies, this low, full-sized race car bed sits low to the ground. So, it’s a great option for toddlers and young kids because it’s easy and safe for them to climb in and out of bed independently.

2. PU Leather Upholstered Race Car Bed

This faux leather upholstered race car bed is available in a space-saving twin-sized frame. It includes solid guardrails on both sides for safety as your child sleeps. The smooth finish not only creates a high-end appearance but also makes cleaning and maintenance easy.

3. Rolls Royce-Style Car Bed

Our Rolls Royce-Style Car Bed brings an element of fancy luxury to your child's bedroom. Featuring the iconic oversized front grille like a classic Rolls, it’s available in blue, white, or silver-gray. The twin-sized bed combines premium plywood and MDF construction with built-in safety rails along both sides.

4. Safari Jeep Car Bed

The Safari Jeep Car Bed transforms bedtime into an exciting adventure, complete with an authentic safari-style canvas tent featuring adjustable roll-up window covers.

This twin-sized bed comes with thoughtful details that enhance both play and functionality, including built-in LED headlights that double as a gentle nightlight. Plus, it has a convenient book rack at the front for holding favorite bedtime stories. The sturdy construction includes protective side rails, while the playful design invites young explorers to embark on imaginary safari adventures right from their bedroom.

5. Princes Carriage Bed

While it’s generally boys who go for a car-themed bedroom, girls like cars too! Or in some cases, they like princess carriages! The Princess Carriage Bed is a charming centerpiece for any child's bedroom, designed to resemble a magical carriage, ensuring your little princess feels like royalty every night.

For kids who love cars and dream of racing, a high-energy bedroom theme is perfect. Use sleek, bold furniture in colors like red, black, and silver. Decorate the walls with checkered flags, car posters, and racing memorabilia for a real garage feel.

Car-Inspired Bedding, Pillows, Rugs, and Curtains

To go with the car bed, auto-inspired textiles make a child’s car-themed bedroom even more fun. Here are some ideas:

6. Car-Themed Bedding

Checkered flag comforters and other auto-inspired prints can make a car bedroom cozy and fun. Another idea is road sign or stoplight bedding.

7. Throw Pillows

For a simple decorating idea, car-inspired throw pillows can make the room more cozy and comfortable. For example, look for pillows with steering wheels or prints of classic automobiles. Other ideas include embroidered license plates, speedometers, or racing numbers.

8. Area Rugs

You can create an instant play space in your child’s car bedroom with an area rug. Style to look for include rugs with a road pattern, traffic signs, or maps. Other ideas include tire track patterns or a classic checkered flag design that makes the floor look like a racing finish line.

9. Curtains

Curtains are another easy way to carry the theme. Consider vintage garage signs or mechanic shop imagery to complete the automotive theme. Another playful option is traffic light or road sign patterned curtains that can be paired with solid-colored blackout panels to ensure a good night's sleep while maintaining the car theme.

Storage Solutions

Storage solutions not only help to keep the room tidy, they can add a fun element as well. Here are some ideas:

10. Tool Box Dresser

You can transform an ordinary dresser into a mechanic's tool chest by painting it bright red and adding industrial-style handles.

11. Checkered Flag Toy Chest

Keep toys organized in style with a wooden toy chest painted with the iconic checkered flag pattern and fitted with slow-close hinges for safety. Add your child's racing number or name in sporty lettering across the front to personalize their pit stop storage.

Car-Themed Wall Treatments

Another fun way to create an automotive ambiance in your child’s bedroom is with themed wall treatments. Here are some ideas:

12. Racing Stripes and Checkered Flag Border

You can create dynamic energy with bold racing stripes painted in your child's favorite colors running horizontally across a main wall. Add a classic black-and-white checkered flag pattern as a border near the ceiling to capture the excitement of the race track.

13. Road Map Mural

You can transform an entire wall into an engaging cityscape complete with winding roads, bridges, and miniature buildings that spark imaginative play. Add glow-in-the-dark paint to create illuminated street lights and building windows that shine after dark.

14. Interactive Race Track Decals

You can apply removable race track decals that wind around the room at different heights, creating an exciting three-dimensional effect. Include pit stop areas, speed zones, and track markers that your child can follow with their eyes or use as a backdrop for toy car play.

15. Classic Car Collection Display

Consider creating a gallery wall featuring vintage car posters, framed patent drawings of famous automobiles or famous race car drivers, and dimensional metal car emblems that add depth and visual interest. Mix in some LED strip lighting behind key pieces to add an extra special glow to the display.

Automotive Accents and Decor

Here are some additional automotive decor ideas that can add authentic car culture touches to your child's room:

16. Traffic Signal Reading Light

Install a real traffic light housing (or realistic replica) as a unique reading lamp that can be mounted on the wall near the bed. The red, yellow, and green lights can be wired to a three-way switch, letting your young driver control their room's ambiance while learning traffic signals.

17. License Plate Gallery Wall

Create an eye-catching display using vintage license plates from different states or countries, arranged in a pattern that tells a story. Add special meaning by including plates from places your family has lived or visited, or choose plates from years significant to your child.

18. Dashboard Command Center

Design a desk or homework station that mimics a car's dashboard, complete with LED gauge-style task lighting and a "glove compartment" storage drawer. Add a speedometer-style clock and temperature display to make homework time feel like cruise time.

19. Pit Stop Reading Nook

Transform a corner into a cozy reading area by adding racing seat bean bags, checker flag pillows, and a gas pump bookshelf. Add a "Pit Stop" sign above and tool chest side table to create the perfect space for refueling with a good book.

Off to the Races

Creating a car-themed bedroom for your child can be a fun project you work on together that can get both of your creative juices flowing. From choosing the perfect car bed to adding authentic automotive touches, like racing stripes and car-themed bedding, each element can contribute to an immersive experience that makes bedtime and playtime more enjoyable.
