Hello Kitty, a Sanrio character, originated in London in 1974 when the Tokyo-based toy company hired designer Ikuko Shimizu to create a character for a coin purse. Since then, girls around the globe have fallen in love with Hello Kitty. She now adorns everything from T-shirts to breakfast, thanks to a Hello Kitty toaster that toasts an image of her face into the bread. If you want to design a Hello Kitty bedroom, Sanrio offers a wide range of decor.
Instructions
1. Paint the room pink. The bow in Hello Kitty's hair is usually pink, and much of the Hello Kitty merchandise available has a pink color theme. Starting with a pink base will allow you to match your Hello Kitty items to your walls.
2. Hire an artist to paint a Hello Kitty mural on one wall, or do it yourself. As an alternative, buy Hello Kitty vinyl wall decorations that you can stick on and easily remove.
3. Install a display case for your Hello Kitty collectibles. A white curio cabinet with glass doors will correspond well with the pink walls.
4. Purchase a Hello Kitty comforter, sheets and pillowcases from a local store or online. The Sanrio site, sanrio.com, is the home of original Hello Kitty merchandise. There are a wide variety of bedding sets for sale there.
5. Accessorize with other Hello Kitty merchandise. You can purchase Hello Kitty bulletin boards, night lights, desk accessories, alarm clocks and many other Hello Kitty room items on the Sanrio site. Or, if you live in or visit New York City, visit the Sanrio store in Times Square to view the items in person.
