A head on a table or desk could look a little gory, but this handmade Mario lamp looks like a pretty cheerful guy.
OK, so it's not technically Mario themed, but I love pretty much everything in the kid-friendly Ikea Mammut furniture series. This would look fantastic in a Mario bedroom.
These huge vinyl decals could transform any boring wall into a Super Mario-scape! Bonus: No artistic talent required!
This easily recognizable font adds a Nintendo flair — and some personalization — to a bedroom.
I can't even express how much I dig this handmade, customizable hanger. It's made for keys, but I can see it hanging robes or jackets or whatever.

Bullet Bill was never one of my favorite characters, but you've got to admit that he's pretty "fly" as a set of bookends.

They may be plumbers by trade, but Mario and Luigi look pretty great adorning outlets and switch plates, too.
Every Mario-themed room needs this trio of secondary, yet still iconic, characters to dress up the wall.
If your Mario room is for future Mario Bros. fans, this mobile is a sweet addition. It is completely hand-stitched, no sewing machine used. Wow!
It might not actually give you a power-up, but who knows, glancing at this super cute mushroom clock might give you a boost if you're running late.
Oh. My. Goodness. I almost expected a fireball to come rolling out of the mouths of these piranha plant sculptures!
