Would a 'Hello Kitty' nursery be naff?

Is it naff to say naff?

Im not talking going all out crazy Japan style Hello Kitty Themed.

Will have plain pink bedding and plain pink bumper, pink and cream walls, beige carpet.

But maybe have a Hello Kitty rug, cushion and I paint character paintings so would do a HK one for the wall with DDs name on.

Hmmmm?

I've seen a Hello Kitty wall clock in the design of a watch.

You could even call her Kitty to complete the theme

mollythetortoise · 13/08/2008 13:11

yes i think so. But I am anti themed bedrooms anyway so prob not best person to ask. Plus point is it will last beyong her babyhood (as long as she like Hello Kitty of course) prob till she is 5 or 6 unlike a winnie the pooh theme for example.

I like the idea. Not a fan of themes myself, but think it would look really lovely if you don't go too OTT.

DisenchantedPlusBump · 13/08/2008 13:13

But I could just take the painting down, and get rid of the cusion and rug when she out grows it.

TBH I re-decorate the kids bedroom about every year or so anyways!

Molly was actually saying she wouldn't outgrow it...

DisenchantedPlusBump · 13/08/2008 13:18

I know, I just meant if she did its easy to change

I quite like hello kitty

Pinkjenny · 13/08/2008 13:48

I prefer the first link. Ooooh, you've inspired me! DD is only in the little room at the moment, but when we move her to the bigger room and change her to cot into the bed, I am so going for Hello Kitty.

DisenchantedPlusBump · 13/08/2008 13:54

I used to be Hello Kitty mad , when I was about 18!

DH still calls me 'Kitty'

i am hello kitty mad. sounds like a great idea to have plain walls and just accessories then like you say when they out grow it you can change theme of accessories.
we made the mistake of doing dds nursey out with winnie the pooh paper when a baby by the time she went into a bed @ 2 years looked really babyish painted over it with green paint

Tortington · 13/08/2008 15:50

its the naffiest naff that naffin existed

Marne · 13/08/2008 15:52

I think its naff, but i dont like hello kitty.

Pinkjenny · 13/08/2008 15:54

All a question of personal taste. I decorated dd's room in Cath Kidston spotty (which I know loads of MNers hate as well...), and I loved it, but well, I wish her room had a bit more personality.

It seems a bit dull to me now. I'm going to make sure her new bedroom has a bit more character.

Will probably give the poor child nightmares.

aurorec · 13/08/2008 15:56

I think it sounds quite cute....

DisenchantedPlusBump · 13/08/2008 16:03

I'm doing it.

PortAndLemon · 13/08/2008 16:09

I think if, as you describe, it's mostly plain with a couple of Hello Kitty things it would be acceptable .

LazyLinePainterJane · 13/08/2008 16:13

Thing is, they tend to grow into Hello Kitty, at about 12 or so

maybe you could wait until then

bikerunski · 13/08/2008 16:17

Not keen on theemes bedrooms, but I think the beige carpet will keep it from being OTT pink.

Pinkjenny · 13/08/2008 16:17

This is true. Dd has a big Hello Kitty from that Bear Workshop place (she was only about 16wks when we got it, but I had a ball!), and I'm not sure whether she finds it a bit alarming.

She always looks at Kitty very suspiciously.

DisenchantedPlusBump · 13/08/2008 19:03

lmao,
She will get used to her dammit! lol

I was lying on my dd's bed the other day looking round at her immaculately decorated room and I realised that it was so dull. It made me quite sad.

So I say go for it. In fact I might do it too!

FeelingLucky · 13/08/2008 19:14

oh yes, it would be soooooo naff. but, your dd would be soooo lucky.
my dd would LOVE such a room as she's so mad about cats ... have fun decorating ... maiowwwwww
