Select a color scheme for the dirt bike bedroom. Consider the child's favorite colors, the colors of his favorite dirt bike team or a color scheme based on sponsors of a favorite dirt bike racer. Vibrant colors are often found in the dirt bike world, making them good choices for the themed bedroom. Chrome and other metallic finishes also work well with the theme.

Choose a base color for the walls. Orange, red or light blue will work well depending on the rest of your bedroom decor. Cover a small dirt bike tire with brown paint and roll it along the walls to create dirt bike tracks. Add mud splashes along the base of the wall or at various spots along the tire tracks.
