The trouble with most ‘theme’ rooms is that they can be a little too, well, ‘themey’.  While it is tempting to go “Extreme Makeover” on your pre-teen’s bedroom, the fact is in 2 years they will want something else.  Keep the major pieces in the room pretty basic and change simple things like accessories and wall colors…

Wallpaper does not have to be pricey especially if you only paper one wall.

This faux stone version will replicate a castle interior, like Cair Paravel, from Seabrook Wallcoverings…

Paint the rest of the walls Wish AF-680 or Winter Orchard 1555

If you are tired of white trim, try painting the wood work in the room AF-710 Secret…

(even the names of the paint colors remind me of Narnia!)

Try a gallery wall of the illustrated book covers in the Narnia series by framing them all in similar frames like these from Pottery Barn Teen…

Hang the framed book covers over this cool vintage look “wardrobe” cabinet from Ikea…

Frame a map of Narnia and hang over the bed…

Check out these items from IKEA…

Stockholm Throw, Trollsta Side Table, Gilda Curtains, Gaser Rug, Lusy Blom Pillow

I love the fluffy rug and the yellow side table!!  Don’t the curtains remind you of a throne?

Here is the palette in paint color!

The pillow adds a pop of color and who wouldn’t want a chaise lounge in their room for reading?

This pillow from TwoStrayCats on etsy.com has a vintage feel.  Pre-teens don’t like anything too little kid-ish…

Oh, don’t forget a street lamp!  You can find one for under $150 at most lighting places…

Seven’s can help you with your pre-teen’s room — no matter what they are into at the moment.  (We probably can’t help you make them keep it clean though!)
