Pokemon Bedroom

This Pokemon Bedroom is a little one’s DREAM.  Colorful, cheerful, and full of homemade touches.  Let me know what your favorite part of the room was in the comments below!

(This post contains a few affiliate links.  That means that I get a small credit for referring you to a product that I used and love, but it doesn’t cost you any extra.)

This Pokemon Bedroom is a little one's dream! Bright colors, lots of fun details, and plenty of Pikachu make this kid paradise!

A couple of years ago I put together a colorful Dr. Seuss Bedroom for my son.  He has loved it, but in the last two years he has developed a new obsession: POKEMON!!  His grandma made him an awesome Pokemon quilt and cube cushion just because she spoils him, and I made him the Pokemon card pennant banners as decorations for his Pokemon Birthday Party.  I was thinking about those things, along with his Pokemon stuffed animal collection, and I decided that for his birthday I was going to surprise him by transforming his room from a Dr. Seuss bedroom into a Pokemon bedroom.  This gift was a HIT!

This Pokemon Bedroom is a little one's dream! Bright colors, lots of fun details, and plenty of Pikachu make this kid paradise!

Here is the quilt that started it all.  Isn’t it THE CUTEST?!?!?!?!  My mother-in-law is freaky-talented and freaky-generous.  She spoils us rotten!!  She also made him the incredible, detailed cube/cushion/seat.  It’s the bomb.  PERFECT for his Pokemon bedroom!

(Ash Ketchum hat and Pokebelt found HERE, by the way.)  I used my mother-in-law’s leftover fabric and made some new lively pillow covers, a new window valence, and fabric covered mini bulletin boards.  Check it out . . .

If you’d like to sew pillows this style check out the tutorial HERE.  I am a big ric-rac fan.  It makes all projects seem more unique.

If you are looking for the stuffed animals for your Pokemon bedroom, then Amazon.com is your friend!  Here is where I got them:

  • Large Laughing Pikachu
  • Sandile Plush
  • Treecko Plush
  • Meowth Plush

To make the large name to go on the wall above the bed I bought individual wooden letters at Hobby Lobby.  I spray painted them red, wrapped some washi tape around them in various ways, and glued push pins to the back of the letters so I could push them into the wall and they would stay.  Very easy.

To make these small, round bulletin boards you will need round, cork trivets from Ikea, Pokemon fabric, and a hot glue gun.  You’ll be done in no time!  You can find the full tutorial HERE.

The window valance is essentially a really long tube.  You can find the full tutorial HERE.  It’s very simple to make, but it definitely gives the room a polished, finished touch.

Now let’s look at some other parts of the Pokemon bedroom.  One thing I made was this large Pikachu art, which, quite frankly, I am totally obsessed with!  I got all of the Pokemon cards HERE.  They’re so affordable that I’m not convinced they are “real,” but, quite frankly, my son doesn’t know the difference, and I don’t care!  Haha.  HERE IS A TUTORIAL FOR MAKING THE PIKACHU WALL ART.

pokemon-bedroom-7 This Pokemon Bedroom is a little one's dream! Bright colors, lots of fun details, and plenty of Pikachu make this kid paradise! pokemon-bedroom-8

Cuuuuute, right??  Way easier to make than you think, too!  I also used the same Pokemon Cards to make the pennant banners.

As you can see, this side of the room is dedicated to building and creating.  Aside from the things I have already pointed out to you, you can see a framed sketch that he made of some of his favorite Pokemon characters, his binder of Pokemon Cards, and a peek into his closet, which is actually a secret reading nook that is also decorated in a Pokemon theme.

Would you like to get a closer look at his Pokemon themed reading nook?  It includes a Pikachu stuffed animal, one of the cheery ric rac pillows, Pokemon hanging decorations leftover from his birthday party, and Pokemon character peel and stick wall stickers.

I wish I had a better picture of the closet.  Sorry about that.  I would like to show you a closer picture of the picture hanging next to the closet, though!

This is one of my favorite things in the room.  It consists of a collage of cards that I made similar to the one I did in THIS tutorial.  I used THESE cards to make the collage frame.  They are all framing a giant “Callum Pokemon Card” that I made using THIS free website!

Here is the last section of room to see.  His colorful Dr. Seuss dresser, combined with books, pictures from his Pokemon Birthday Party, and a fun Pikachu Bank.

Thank you for taking the time to check out our Pokemon Bedroom!  I hope you love it as much as we do!  Now go play some PokemonGO and have a great day!  😉

    So resourceful, Sarah! Callum’s room looks fabulous! It seems like only yesterday you did his Dr. Seuss room. I’m impressed that you made it over again, and I’m glad that the color schemes were similar! You and your mother-in-law are way talented too! I can barely sew buttons! Haha

      THANK YOU, Karen! 🙂 The color scheme working is part of the reason I did it. If I had needed to repaint it……no way. It would have stayed Dr. Seuss. Few things I hate more than painting a room, and my husband DESPISES it! Ha! 🙂

    What a lucky kid! I can tell from the pictures that he absolutely loves it. That quilt is a killer and I love that your mother-in-law made it for him just because (grandparents are the best, aren’t they?). Thank you for sharing this room with us on #shinebloghop this week! It definitely made me smile 🙂

          Do you mean for the Pikachu art? I actually just realized the other day that I hadn’t posted it yet. I am committing to you now – it will be up on Thursday, 3/1! 🙂 I am so thrilled to hear that you are recreating the room for your son!

            Thank you so much! Yes…I started yesterday and he is loving everything. I’m guessing its a 16X20 poster frame and i have started aligning the cards. It so nice getting to use all these extra pokemon cards. 🙂

    Love all of the ideas and the room turned out amazing. I was searching ideas for how to convert my son’s bedroom to pokemon themed. The really funny part is, we are also converting it from his Dr. Seuss themed nursery/toddler room! 🙂 We are trying to find creative ways to reuse some of the red, blue / primary colors. Great ideas. Thanks again!

    How did you print the Pokémon card so large without it being blurry?

      I created it on this website – http://www.mypokecard.com/en/ – and then I just printed it out. I can’t recall stressing over size or clarity, but it was quite a few years ago, so maybe I did. 😉

    Hello. I showed the room to my son and he went absolutely nuts over it. I would love to try and make the quilt and was wondering if your MIL would be so kind as to share the quilt pattern seeing as I’m a newbie at quilting.

      She kindof made it up, but basically followed one pattern. I’m not an experienced quilter, so, personally, I would just follow the pattern at the first link below and call it good. Here is the explanation she gave me when I asked her for you:

      “Step one: I cut a bunch of Pokemon fabrics into 10 inch squares and basically follow this pattern with one exception

      http://www.modabakeshop.com/2017/08/layer-cakes-on-point-quilt.html

      The exception that I did was that instead of trimming the edges off (and wasting fabric) I cut some triangles and sewed those on instead of sewing squares on the edges and trimming. Here is the chart that I use to figure out the size the triangles need to be for the sides and corners.

      https://static.fatquartershop.com/media/wysiwyg/pdf/OnPointSettingGuide3.pdf

      This chart is a great reference but if you have never done a quilt before. Just follow the moda bakeshop instructions and keep the scraps for something else.

      Step two: I cut some long strips (red fabric) 2 1/2 inches wide and sewed them on the edges for an inner border

      Step thee: I found this great Pokemon fabric that had different Pokemon (each in a separate square) and pieced another border to go around the quilt again. The bad news is that I don’t think that the Pokemon square fabric is available anymore. SO for an alternate step 3, sew a strip of fabric another fun Pokemon color or pattern, around the inner border and bind the quilt.

      If you have any questions, Let me know.”

    Hi. Curious if your MIL would be willing to create the same quilt to sell. I’d love to purchase if so as it’s fantastic! Please let me know if this is an option and we could work out logistics and payment.

      Sorry, but she doesn’t sell her quilts. Additionally, this quilt was made many years ago, so I don’t think the same fabric is still available. Sorry!
