Consider different colors of camouflage; its basic color doesn't have to be green. Look at the army uniforms that are used in the desert. These are full of tans, beiges and browns. They even make camouflage in black, white and gray. If you aren't concerned with having realistic camo, look for a fun pink, purple or blue. Camouflage is a popular pattern that you can find at any bedding or fabric store. It can lend an air of masculinity or whimsy to a room depending on the pattern and color you choose. You might want to pick the color of the camo to match the carpet.

Keep a tight color palette. The purpose of camouflage is to make things disappear. This means that traditional furniture pieces will stick out in your room. Pull a color from the camo to paint the furniture. Make sure that this color will also work with other themes if you decide to change your room. Choose another color from the camouflage to paint your walls. This way everything will coordinate. It also makes everything in your room seem new. You can buy pieces at garage sales and thrift stores if you are trying to save money. The paint will make them seem like a matching set. It doesn't have to be expensive to decorate a bedroom in camouflage.

Use pre-printed patterns. Let's say you want to decorate a child's room with camouflage walls. Painting camo can be a time-consuming process; if you feel it is beyond your resources, check out pre-printed wallpaper. This can be something as simple as a border or a complete set of wallpaper. Try to keep the pattern on just one focal wall; it won't overwhelm the room.

Find a balance. This is important when you decorate a bedroom in camouflage. It may feel too masculine or even juvenile. Balance the strong pattern with more feminine nature accents. Look for drapery hardware that mimics tree branches. Not everything in your room has to be camo. Use subtle earth tones such as greens and browns to balance the masculine and feminine.
