Does anyone have any Decorating and Painting ideas for a boys room using Hot Wheels?

Question

Does anyone have any Decorating and/or Painting ideas for a boys room using Hot Wheels? My son is turning 7 in a couple of months and for his birthday we are updating his room. He wants it to have a Hot Wheels theme. I found Hot Wheels bedding but it is very ugly. He already has a red twin size race car shaped bed. I am looking for creative ideas for bedding, painting, and decorating!

Answer 1

Well I hope this doesn't sound too obvious. I think you should do the following:
*Have a car shaped bed in the room
*Hot wheels sheets
*Little cars painted on the walls
*A Hot Wheels painting/picture somewhere in the room

Also try "hot wheels room" in google...

Hot Wheels Decorating Ideas

Answer 3

I'd go with bright, primary colors like red and blue whenever possible, and use black and white checkered fabric to make some cool curtains that look like checkered flags.

You can probably find a cool wallpaper border with race cars and do it along the mid-line of the wall. Then paint bright blue on the bottom half of the wall and white on the top. Find some smaller, colorful posters of race cars and put them in bright red and blue frames and hang those up on the white part of the wall. Hang racing flags on the walls.

And definitely get a cool place to store his Hot Wheels collection... maybe on a wall-shelf or some kind of custom cabinet.

Answer 4

Pick out one of the reds or blues on the hot wheels theme and paint your walls, white for your trim and then get a nice race car or Hot wheels border or use the cars in their original package and tack them along the ceiling for a border. Good luck and let your son have a say.

My husband is a Hot Wheels fanatic (has been collecting them since he was 8 years old), so it was only natural that we would be making our son's room in a Hot Wheels theme. We have bought hot wheel material and I am going to make curtains and a matching quilt (using some of the patterns in the materials for blocks on the quilt). We are planning on painting the walls the lightest blue in the fabric. Then we found a great idea for the walls. We are going to take "real" tires and paint tire tracks on the walls. Then we are going to create a car play area which can be used later as a desk/study area. For this we are planning on taking 13" car tires, painting them in colours found in the curtains, stacking them in threes and placing a painted plywood board on top. You could even go so far as to paint actual roads on top of the board. Another idea is to paint chalk board paint along the bottom portion of the walls in the room and paint road lines on them as well so that your child can run his cars along the bottom of the walls and draw with chalk without doing any real damage to the walls. Chalkboard paint comes in green and black.

Answer 6

paint bottom third of room blue. top white. on white decorate with hot wheel stuff. bookcase, tracks, hot glue hot wheels to wall..

Answer 7

you could go get a bunch of hot wheels then paint scenes like a race track on the walls and glue them there or find other means to adhere them to the walls. get creative with it, different types of hot wheels, paint different scenes. ask your son what he thinks is cool and with a project like this he probably wont even notice the ugly bedding.
