Want to spark your child's curiosity about the world while traveling AND at home? Trimming a kid's space with travel touches will inspire a love of exploration and teach global understanding from a young age. You don't need a lot of money to create an impressive room your children will love, either. Follow these five easy tips on how to decorate a kid's travel themed bedroom!

Assemble a Travel Collection
Rather than amassing junky souvenirs during your family vacations that will be tossed aside and forgotten once you return home, encourage your kids to search for a special collectible in every destination. For example, my daughter collects snow globes to display in her room. Then in my tween son's room, we have displayed his collection of Lego architecture and paper model sets that he has built of famous buildings around the world. Other collection suggestions include unique boxes, dolls, figurines, or small flags.
My family also has a collection of globes spanning the past 50 years. My kids love looking at how countries have changed their boundaries and names. We adults may remember the U.S.S.R., which stretched across a significant part of the world — but for our kids, there's only ever been Russia. Search flea markets and Ebay for globes from the past or buy a modern version online.
Likewise, it's fun to collect postcards from your journeys for an inexpensive way to remember your family's travels. Either framed individually or hung as part of a gallery wall, they will look terrific in a kid's travel themed bedroom.

Buy Travel Themed Storage
Get creative when choosing storage for a travel themed bedroom for kids. You could decoupage a bookshelf with old maps. Or, look for vintage suitcases and trunks at flea markets, garage sales or Ebay for a fun way to stash your child's playthings. For an easy solution, check out this wooden steamer chest to hold toys and this darling set of old fashioned suitcases to house dress-up clothes or action figures. You could also store dolls, stuffed animals, and other toys in woven ethnic baskets, like this hand-woven African basket.

Choose Travel Inspired Textiles, Fixtures and Touches
All children seem to adore trains, so you might want to add some train travel whimsy to the mix with a choo-choo themed quilt. For a subtler choice, select a solid colored comforter and jazz things up with a train-shaped throw pillow or two.
For beach lovers, take the sea with seaside design touches. Nautical bedding or a beach-inspired comforter make classic options for a travel themed kid's bedroom.

Create a Travel Gallery Wall
Whether using post cards, art depicting a favorite destination, or your own travel photos — a gallery wall looks best when it's cohesive. When creating a gallery wall from eclectic pieces of art, either use the same color picture frame for each item, or choose different types of frames with art centering on a particular theme. For an older child, pick up a set of inexpensive wall clocks and set them to different time zones with a city named above each clock. The best thing about a gallery wall is that you can keep adding to the collection until you run out of wall space.
When you use these decorating tips to create a travel themed bedroom for kids, you're sure to open your child's eyes to the wonders of the world and encourage a life of wanderlust.
