8 Bright Classroom Decor Ideas

If you’re looking for bright classroom decor ideas, look no further. Here are 10 bright classroom decor ideas to get you started.

1. Keep it simple.

I know what you’re thinking. “Simple” and “bright” don’t really go together. But they can!

Bright colors and a simple design are a perfect pair.

If you want to keep the look of your classroom more on the simple side,

try to incorporate some white space or use one or two main colors and add in some pops of other colors.

I like to keep my main colors to three. Then I can add in pops of other colors if I want to.

This year, my main colors were pink, teal, and yellow. I added in some orange, green, and blue as accent colors.

2. Use your wall space.

Classrooms have a lot of wall space, especially if you have high ceilings.

Make the most of your wall space by adding bright, bold, and beautiful things to look at.

I love this classroom’s use of a large alphabet chart. It’s not only a great reference for students, but it also adds a lot of color to the space.

3. Add a pop of color with a bulletin board.

Bulletin boards are a staple in every classroom, and they’re the perfect place to add a pop of color.

I love this rainbow bulletin board set because it’s so simple, and it doesn’t take long to put up.

You can also use it to display a variety of things, like student work, class rules, or even your standards for the week.

4. Make it a team effort.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the thought of decorating your classroom, ask your students to help you!

You can make a list of things that need to be done and then let them sign up for tasks.

I’ve also had students help me by cutting out shapes, organizing supplies, and even painting.

It’s a great way to get the kids excited about the new school year, and it also saves you some time!

5. Create a reading corner.

Students love to read when they have a cozy spot to do it!

A reading corner is the perfect way to get your students excited about your classroom library.

You can use a rug, bean bags, and cushions to make your reading corner comfortable.

Then, add some book bins and a few decorative pieces to make it feel inviting.

A reading corner doesn’t have to take up a lot of space. In fact, you can create a small reading nook with just a few pillows and a bookshelf.

6. Add a little green.

If you’re looking for a way to add a pop of color to your classroom, just add a plant!

Whether it’s real or fake, a little greenery can really change the look of your classroom.

These hanging file folders make a great planter to add a little color to your classroom.

7. Use your windows.

If you’re lucky enough to have windows in your classroom, use them to your advantage!

I like to keep my windows open and let in as much natural light as possible.

You could also use window clings, curtains, or even window markers to add some color to your classroom windows.

8. Bring in some plants.

If you’re a plant lady (or gentleman) like me, then you’ll want to bring in some greenery to your classroom.

Not only does it bring in some calming vibes, but it also helps to clean the air.

If you don’t have a green thumb, then you can always use some faux plants or some cactus decorations.

9. Add some personal touches.

I always like to add a few personal touches throughout the classroom to make it feel more like home.

I’ve found that adding photos of my family and friends, and even some snapshots of my favorite things, makes the room feel more inviting.

I also like to add a few pieces of student work to the walls before the first day of school.

This is a great way to show off your students’ hard work and to make the room feel more personal.

10. Make it work for you.

There are so many different ways to use color in your classroom.

You can use a rainbow of colors, like I did in this classroom, or you can choose just a few colors to focus on.

I’ve seen classrooms with just pink and gold, black and white, and even just blue.

The options are endless, so make sure you choose a color scheme that you love!
