While this is obviously a restaurant and not a bedroom, the mountain and umbrella theme would be a cool look to try at home. The mountains are a candidate for a weekend DIY project if you’re handy with a circular saw or can find large enough pieces of sturdy poster board.

What kid wouldn’t want a climbing wall in their room? This is almost too cool for words! Both rungs and rock climbing holds encourage healthy exercise. This lucky young resident could even use the wall holds to reach the collection of toys (from the movie Cars) on the upper shelves to the right.

A large soccer field decal spices up this sport-themed study space, and the wrap-around shelf emphasizes the unusual wall architecture. The composition of the decal is interesting and worth mentioning too: rather than an ordinary photograph, this one is a creative design with a close-up shot of grass with a field line overlay.
