Disneyland's Blue Bayou Inspired Bedroom Ideas

We asked our girls, "What would you like your bedroom to be decorated like?"
They have a high vaulted ceiling and I immediately thought of Bamboo Ben's Masterpiece of a remodel (seriously, go check it out!) I also liked the idea of a Pixie Hallow themed room with over sized props to make them feel itty bitty. And what about a Peter Pan room with hook latches, ship wheel chandeliers, and a Peter Pan shadow "standing" on the dresser?! All very great ideas, but not for my girls. My lovely "princesses" chose a Blue Bayou bedroom!

It's going to be quite the undertaking, but my biggest job right now is to figure out which direction to take it.


This first idea board is inspired by this picture of the Blue Bayou Restaurant in the 60s. My girls love the lanterns and requested fireflies.

The next design is a reflection of Tia Dalma's shack in the bayou. A darker theme for sure. I know my teen would love this, but my littles might not be so brave... but then again, they might be swept away by the magic.

And finally a more whimsical design that would bring the outdoors in. I imagine a large shadowy mural on one wall and a tree branch with tiny flickering fireflies would go well with this.

  1. ooo, I have to say the first, the Blue Bayou. I love all of them but I'm always drawn to lots of color. I still think you can do the shadowy mural with fireflies though!

  2. I'm torn between one and three, personally. I think you could blend elements from both for a fantastic effect. That probably doesn't help :). If you make me choose I'd have to go with one, because I LOVE a good trundle bed.
