I'm sure there'll be lots of little Cap'n Jacks running around this Summer wanting a 'pirates room'...This is how I'd do it...

From this I'd take my colour scheme for the walls, pale cream...and the bedding, a mix of plain linens in the green, teal blue and red for an ad-hoc look.
Even the odd piece of furniture could be painted to match...
And, of course...wooden floorboards, just like a ship's decking.

And use it in various sizes for impact...how about a large stencilled image on a wardrobe door, or appliqued onto a cushion, or a small repeat on curtains and floor cushions.
There..! A more grown-up scheme without the 'twee' feel...and many items that can be used in future designs, when pirates are old news again.
