Classroom Decor

10 easy classroom decorating ideas!

1.  Define and create spaces in your classroom with rugs and/or furniture.  My favorite is using bookshelves and a classroom rug to create a cozy corner!

2.  Use bulletin board paper as a base on your bulletin boards to showcase your classroom decor and educational resources to make them POP! 

3.  Bring nature into your classroom with plants and flowers.  Real or fake!  Either way has a calming effect on your brain and will help your students focus.

4. Fill in the negative space above your whiteboards with inspirational words and phrases to spread kindness and positivity in your classroom.

5.  Display student work. This helps build community and confidence!

6.  In addition to student work, don't forget to celebrate their birthdays.  They LOVE this.  It makes them feel SO SPECIAL!

7.  Another way to build confidence is using an Affirmation Station in your classroom.  It's another way to talk about emotions, how they come and go, and infuse them with love and kindness.

8.  Build connection with your students by having your morning meeting on a classroom rug.

9.  Use nameplates and labels to organize all the things.  It will help the students know where to put items away after they are done using them and help carry a cohesive theme around the room. A small but mighty detail!

10.  Using door decor is the first thing you and your students will see everyday.  Make it a magical entrance with a door topper and/or a sweet note on the door! 

Why is it important to decorate your classroom?

  • Most teachers spend more time in their classroom than they do in their own home, so it's nice to make it as inviting as possible.  You want you and your students to feel GOOD in their space.  To be excited and happy to be there everyday!  How does your favorite room in your house make you feel when you walk in?  Your classroom is the same way!  A place to inspire.  
  • Did you know that your environment can imprint on your emotions, mood, and desire to learn?  You can easily use classroom decor to enhance your space without making it too stimulating.  The balance of how much classroom decor will depend on you.  Follow your instinct. The smallest details make the biggest difference!
  • A study from the University of Salford states that attentively decorated classrooms can enhance learning by 25%!  
  • A good rule is to keep 20% of your walls bare. Classrooms should feel warm and inviting but not overcrowded.  
  • When your students walk into your room, they are subconsciously making a decision to engage or turn themselves off.  Their environment and YOU are the first impressions everyday where they will decide this.  
  • Your classroom decor can be a great teaching tool!

Ask a classroom decor expert!

1. What is the best classroom theme for elementary school?

The best themes are ones that feel fun, calming, and easy to build on throughout the year. Schoolgirl Style offers cohesive decor bundles, bulletin boards, and rugs so you can mix patterns, colors, and accents to create a theme that grows with your students.


2. How do I make my classroom feel cozy and welcoming?

Start with warm, inviting elements like rugs, soft color palettes, and bulletin boards that feature student work. Layer in borders, door decor, and simple cutouts to add personality. Schoolgirl Style collections are designed to help teachers create a space that feels homey—not overwhelming.


3. What classroom decor helps students focus?

Choose decor that’s intentional, not cluttered. Neutral or softly colored borders, clean bulletin board layouts, and purposeful posters support better focus. Schoolgirl Style décor is designed with balance in mind—engaging enough to inspire, but calm enough to help students stay on task.


4. How often should I change my classroom theme?

Most teachers refresh seasonally or a few times a year. Instead of changing everything, swap out bulletin boards, borders, and door decor to match holidays or units. Schoolgirl Style bundles make it easy to update your space without starting from scratch.


5. Are pastel or rainbow colors good for learning?

Soft rainbows and pastels help create a positive, soothing atmosphere that still feels inspiring. Many Schoolgirl Style collections use colors proven to boost mood and reduce visual stress, especially when paired with organized bulletin board displays and coordinated borders.


6. What is the best classroom rug for a reading corner?

Look for rugs with soft tones, clear seating visuals (if needed), and designs that anchor the space without distracting from books or instruction. Schoolgirl Style rugs are created to be both durable and aesthetically cohesive—perfect for cozy literacy nooks.


7. What decor should every classroom have?

Every room benefits from a high-quality rug, a few anchor bulletin boards, coordinated borders, and a seasonal decor bundle to refresh throughout the year. These staples from Schoolgirl Style make any classroom feel intentional, styled, and student-ready.
