Hey guys! If you’ve been following along on my blog these past few months, you already know that we recently became homeowners and are having a blast redecorating our entire house! Today I’m so excited to share with you our son’s new bedroom and hopefully inspire you with these Ninja Turtles Bedroom Ideas.
My son is 3 (soon to turn 4) and has loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for going on 2 years now. I mean, EVERYTHING for him has to be Ninja Turtles…SO…it was a no-brainer for me when I was trying to decide what theme I would do in his room.
Ninja Turtles Bedroom Ideas:
– LED “Mutagen” tubes
– Poster frames with battery-operated clip on spotlights
– Custom designed graffiti printables
– DIY sewer pipe (click here to see how to make this)
HOW DID SHE DO THAT?
Ninja Turtles Bedroom Ideas – START WITH BASIC PAINT COLORS!
We painted our entire house and I’m totally loving this tone of gray! We have it all throughout our house’s main areas as accent walls and I loved it so much, that I decided to paint Michael’s entire room with it. It’s a great color that can compliment all kinds of themes because let’s face it…kids this age change their minds on what they’re into A LOT! One day it’s Ninja Turtles, the next it’s Spiderman!
Ninja Turtles Bedroom Ideas – ADD NON-THEMED FURNITURE ITEMS!
Since kids change their minds all the time, I never commit to expensive, permanent themed items. I went with dark brown wood furnishings that will stand up to the wear and tear of a feisty 3 year old boy. (This is the same boy that we have affectionately entitled an entire Instagram series after called “Lil’Man Strikes Again!”…yup, we definitely needed furniture that would stand up to this one’s shenanigans!)
GIRLFRIEND TIP: Over the years, I’ve had to refrain from buying themed beds (like a race car, etc) because that to me is a high-priced ticket item that is themed so that when your child loses interest in cars, you have to repurchase an entire bed! It’s hard to resist, as they are so cute!
Ninja Turtles Bedroom Ideas – CREATE A WOW FACTOR!
This is where it gets fun! This is the OMG moment…that moment your child walks into their room for the first time and way “WOW!”. Don’t we all live for that moment. I wanted the room to have an urban city feel with a Ninja Turtle focus. Here I created a dramatic headboard out of a brick panel that went from floor to ceiling. Next I added these super cool Ninja Turtle lights to the face of the brick wall. They give off the perfect amount of light to give the room an awesome glow at night…Now that’s a cool night light, right! I finished the headboard wall off with graffiti style printables that I designed for the space and using double sided tape, stuck a few of Michael’s ninja turtle weapons on the wall. How cool is that!
Next I added in urban elements that could stay in the room and compliment many themes like the brick panel headboard (for a new look, remove TMNT lights and graffiti printables) and poster frames (simply swap out the posters). I wanted the posters to look like billboards so I added these clip-on poster lights that added that special touch. The great thing is that the clip-on poster lights are battery operated and turn on by pressing a button on the side so I was able to get cool lighting fixtures in the room with no wires hanging down or have to worry about where the electrical outlets were!
GIRLFRIEND TIP: The Ninja Turtle lights I found at Target and are sold individually so you don’t have to get all 4 if you don’t want to. They are also battery operated and turn on with a switch at the bottom of each light, so there was no need for extensive wiring to get these on the wall! Gotta love that!
Ninja Turtles Bedroom Ideas – DECORATE WITH ITEMS YOU ALREADY HAVE!
I happened to host a Ninja Turtles party for my older daughter a few years ago (see the party here) and held on to some of the decor pieces from the party — the brick wall panel, DIY Sewer Pipe (DIY instructions here) and those cool battery operated LED risers that make the perfect “Mutagen” canisters, don’t you think?
GIRLFRIEND TIP: Use toys in the theme your kids already have to decorate the room! This is a great way to spend little money and still have a fabulous themed room. Transforming Michael’s room into a Ninja Turtle bedroom was really easy for me as my son was already so into Ninja Turtles that we had LOTS of Ninja Turtle toys already so I just used them to decorate the room.
Okay, okay…I know what you’re thinking…why in the world is that huge HULK in the room??!! Well…my son just recently started watching Avengers Assemble and LOVES the Hulk! He runs around the house yelling “HULK SMASH” all the time…so I decided to surprise him with this life-size cardboard cutout of The Hulk that I had leftover from an Avengers party I recently styled.
GIRLFRIEND TIP: Birthday Express has a great selection of character cardboard standups around $40 which is a great inexpensive way to add a HUGE wow factor to your child’s room! My son was AMAZED that the Hulk was in his room…he talks to him all the time & occasionally tries to drop kick him…PRICELESS!
ADD INEXPENSIVE THEMED ITEMS TO FINISH THE ROOM!
For under $50 I was able to purchase several licensed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles items to finish the room. Those items included a Ninja Turtles area rug, 2 posters, wall canvas, throw blanket and several cardboard storage boxes — most of which I found at Target.
Well, that’s it. My son think he has THE COOLEST room ever and I am now a rock star MOM in his eyes. Isn’t that what decorating your kids’ room is all about anyway?

What boy who loves the Ninja Turtles wouldn’t love that? That is such a cool bedroom decorating idea!
Very nice night lights and stuffed toys! I wonder where you get all those stuff! Oh my, you are sure one collector! Nice placement and decors, those colors are hard to decide (at least for me) so great job! You go, mom!
My 5 year old daughter LOVES Ninja Turtles! lol She has a spiffy comforter and pillows and would absolutely be over the moon to score some of the Ninja Turtle lights for her wall!
I bet my little cousin would love this, he is a huge Ninja Turtle fan, thanks for the wonderful photos and ideas
Please come decorate my son’s room. He is 15 and into music and science.
Wow, you did an amazing job! My son is 4 and loves Ninja Turtles. You’ve definitely inspired me to make some fun changes to his room. Thanks for sharing!
That is the coolest room ever! I wish you’d bee there to decorate my room when I was a kid. But you know, in a girl theme.
Kowabunga! This room is definitely a boys dream come true! My 3 boys would love to have a super cool room like this!
This is like a dream room! I loved the Ninja Turtles when I was a kid and I’m so glad they’re still around!
A great idea for a boy’s room – how cool is that! Plus you could make it proper retro too!
This is such a cool room! What little boy wouldn’t love this?
That’s awesome. Hope he loves the turtles for a while haha
I can only imagine how happy this would make any little boy! I love your girlfriend tips!
SO FUN! My son loves TMNT and I showed this to him and he asked if I could do it “PLEASE” 🙂 Great work and such fun to look at !
My son was a huge fan of TMNT when he was younger. He would have loved a room like this.
Oh that brick wall look, I love it! It really brings the other TMNT decorations together to look like their hideout. I used to watch the old cartoon with my son occasionally.
We recently moved to a new house and I gave the kids each a 30 budget to buy some things for there new rooms! We know have a comic book room, and a tractor room. They picked some really great stuff!
Looks like a dream for any turtle fan. Too cute!
You gave some great tips for decorating a child’s room. It is important to buy good quality furnishing that will stand the test of time.
The Ninja turtles are really making a comeback or maybe they never left – but this is totally fun and as kids would say, kewl 😉
Your kids have the coolest rooms I have ever seen. Excellent work, love the ideas!
How adorable! I’d had even liked this theme when I was a child since I loved, loved the TMNT. I simply adore the brick wall detailing.
Such a cool room looks amazing, i bet my nephew would surely love this
These are all awesome Ninija Turtle bedroom ideas. My kids would have loved this when they were little. The LED Mutagen Tube is so amazing and is something I so love. Great room indeed for any kid.
That’s such a cool room. My son’s room is pretty empty because he doesn’t like to sleep in his room
You are indeed a rock star mom! The room turned out great and you did not have to spend a whole lot. Good job!
How cool!!! What a great bedroom idea. It would be cool if we could give my boys’ room a makeover.
Kowabunga Dude! That room is awesome… I would have love to do something like this for my son when he was little. Too much fun!
That is amazing decor. Any kid would love this.
Oh how cute is that! My son would absolutely love that. You are so good in decorating.
That bedroom is just SO cute. My son would be over the moon if we’ll decorate his bedroom like that because he loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so much.
That is the most amazing kids bedroom! I love it. I need to do that to my son’s room!
Such great ideas! My nephews are really into TMNT and would probably go insane over a room like this! I’ll have to pass this post on to my sister-in-law.
We just moved so I redid my boys room (girls is a work in progress) and my boys now have a Paw Patrol room. It’s so cute. I am loving these Ninja Turtles though. What a sweet room.
I absolutely love his room! my sons room is ninja turtle but nowhere near as cool as this one! i would love to know where you got the brick panel????
Omg this is like perfect timing! I’m redoing my nephews room in TMNT and this is soo cute!! I love it thanks!!!
What boy would not like this room? Soooo cool! I wish my son was younger, so I could copy some of your ideas!
This Ninja Turtles bedroom looks SO cool! I could see many kids loving this room!
If only I could keep a room that neat! Your son must be LOVING this room.
Those are some really great decorating tips! I love how the room looks he is going to have a blast in there.
My little boy would love this bedroom. He already has the ninja turtle bedding and a stuffed ninja turtle. Maybe I can add a few of your ideas too!
I was wondering where you found the green tube light/lamp. I am really interested in something like that.
Hi there! I purchased it from Koyal Wholesale. 😉
Where did you order the brick wall and what is the color of gray you used on the walls? Thanks!
I love this room, do you know the exact color for the gray paint?
I was wondering how or where you the tube light from
Hi Jess, I got those from Koyal Wholesale 😉
This is seriously badass fantastic!!!!! Such a lucky kid!!!!
I absolutely adore the faux brick room wall- this is one awesome kid’s room! I just think it needs a touch more pizza 🙂
Oh my goodness, I have not thought about the Ninja Turtles since either the late 80s or early 90s! I can’t remember when they came out. I think I am carbon-dating myself here. You got some really cute ideas about decorating with them. And if my grandkids were younger they would probably totally be into this!
WOW that is quite the decor for a kids room! I love that you have a HULK just hanging out in there. I think the decorative kids beds are way over priced, much better to decorate everything else and have a bed that goes with it all!
This is going to be every kids dream room. What a good job you did to his room. My son would love something like this in his bedroom.
What a super fun bedroom. I bet it makes going to bed so much easier
That brick wall is everything! It reall ties everything together. Your little guy must not leave his awesome room! I love all the DIY elements you added so cute!
This is such a fun room! I even want to sleep in it! I love the brick wall behind the bed that’s clever!
You did an awesome job with this Ninja Turtle room! Using the toys your kids already have to decorate their rooms is definitely a great way to save, too.
My son loves the TMNT. He is sitting next to me and he said he would love the Hulk in his room!
I love this idea so much! My son would totally love his new room to be Ninja Turtles theme.
What a great room makeover for a little Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan! My son would probably like all those toys and decor.
Absolutely loved the brick wall. Adds that NYC touch to this iconic look (yeah, I used iconic when talking about the Turtles). Kowabunga
Such a cute room! I think my son would go crazy for this room. Great inspiration for sure!
My nephew would think this is the coolest bedroom EVER! I really love the Ninja Turtle lights from Target.
The nerd in me is flipping out. Care to adopt a daughter? I am good at looking after myself and will only ask for a small corner of the room.
LOL! You are too cute!
Absolutely love your “girlfriend tips”! This bedroom is awesome – you’ve done a fantastic job for sure! Looks great in the daylight but even better at night. And I agree on the themed beds – we almost bought a car for our youngest but so glad we didn’t!
My daughter is obsessed with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I would love to try and do something like this for her. It really came out great!
Dang!!! That is one awesome bedroom! I love how you used the Ninja Turtles!
I think it’s adorable that your son tries to drop kick The Hulk. His room turned out amazing.
What little boy wouldn’t love to have a TMNT bedroom. It’s smart to go with a non-themed bed. Kids can change their mind in an instant.
This room looks amazing. My boys would love it. We are actually redoing their rooms. Thanks for the ideas.
Great ideas! The room looks amazing. I find it amazing that Ninja Turtles were popular 20 years ago then made a comeback. I have kids from 12 to 29 that all LOVE them.
My kids were obsessed with Ninja Turtles for a time too. I would have loved to decorate their playroom like this, but they outgrew their obsession as soon as their baby sister was born. I think it’s awesome how you’ve decorated this room for your son though. So creative!
This bedroom is so unbelievably cool! I was a huge Ninja Turtles fan growing up and would have died to have this as my bedroom.
This came out AWESOME!!!
We did a similar thing with my youngest son’s decor – he has a totally themed out Marvel Avengers room. We even did green walls … it makes sleeping in his Big Boy room so much fun!
What TMNT obsessed kid wouldn’t love this bedroom! So much detail! Love those lights from Target!
Oh my goodness. How amazing is this? This is pretty awesome I know my boys wouldn’t ever want to leave their room if it looked half this great!
Any turtle fan would love this themed bedroom. Great idea. I agree that non themed cots are great buys compared to the themed ones.
I literally was on Pinterest yesterday looking for ways to update my son’s room from baby to toddler. This post gave me some great ideas!
I think my favorite part of the room is that “brick” headboard. Love it! What a brilliant idea.
That’s one heavy ninja turtle decor! I guess any kids loving the show would love it! I always tend to paint everything white so that it’s easy to change decor if needed xx corinne
You did a great job, his room looks awesome!! I only have girls so no ninja turtles here but brings back great memories watching them as a kid myself!
This is one of the coolest rooms I’ve ever seen! I’d have loved it as a kid. I remember watching the cartoon TMNT a lot.
I love this. It’s adorable! I think my husband would do our room like this if I would let him.
My nephew is obsessed with the ninja turtles! I wish I could redo his room like this for him! We did your slime this weekend and it was a hit.
These are all great ideas for a Ninja Turtle bedroom. I love the paint board of the hulk and the Ninja Turtle head lights on the wall behind the bed. Thanks for sharing the ideas.
Wowiee.. looks so vibrant & interesting theme for boys.. Guess I should try to have similar one on my child’s 3rd Birthday:)
This was pretty cool. My daughter is into Moana so I’m sure that will end up being a project for me soon.
What a nice bedroom ideas! The Ninja Turtle stuffs are very cool. Everyone would really love this.
I am so jealous! I want to do this to my gaming room. Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael were my favourites as child! Question: where is Splinter? Is he not present anymore?
They didn’t have Splinter night lights! I wish!
You always have the most creative and innovative party ideas and I really liked the concept of the ‘Girlfriend tip’. Plus it was neat that you managed to score some items on a budget too, the rug is a great shout as is a wall canvas x
oh my gosh My Husband would think this is the best Kids room idea ever (tbh my 10 year old self would have loved this too!!)
Wow! What an amazing design. If I were your little boy, I couldn’t be happier.
This room is way too cool! I love it! I love the idea of starting with a neutral wall color so if you wanted to change it up, you don’t have to repaint!
Amazing! You know what, you can actually designed a themed-ninja turtle room and sign it up for Airbnb. I bet some ninja geek would be willing to rent this room 🙂
This is a cute decoration idea for a child who loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Love the accessories you used.
What a gorgeous redecoration! I have students who love ninja turtles. They would be ecstatic to visit a room like this! Great work!
What a great room. You did an amazing job decorating it. So fun!
Loved the Theme . I am also Currently working on theme of spidermen for my Kid’s Room and know how much efforts does it takes ..
This is a fun creative redecoration project .Loved the brick wall idea as headboard .I want it too!
That room is pretty amazing, he looks like he loves it so much. It really makes a difference when you add little details.
That is my sons’ dream bedroom! They are huge fans of the turtles. I think I have to do my research on where to find ninja turtles stuff to fill their rooms.
What a beautiful room for a kid who loves Ninja Turtles!All these decorative items are beautiful.Glad that you could buy all decorative stuff under $50!
It looks so effective. I like the way you have kept the walls neutral, so that it can be changed when turtles are no longer favourite.
i love this room settign and i just wished i could rewind back time and be a little kid and still get to watch ninja turtles early days cartoon and slep sound on the bed in this rom too.
I liked the ninija turtles when I was little. The YouTube sensation “Pentatonix” created a great soundtrack for them. You should check them out.
This is so cool! I can’t wait to decorate my son’s room like this. Thanks for sharing!
HI. Awesome design and we love the room. How did you make the long tall light?
Susan
Hi Susan. Thanks. I actually bought those from Koyal Wholesale. They were called LED towers.
Any ideas where I could find the mutagen, I’ve searched all over koyal wholesale and cans find them!
Hi Meredith, Koyal stopped selling them. You can find them though on my Pinterest board – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Room. I have a link to another vendor that sells them. It will take you directly to the product page.
