“Themed” is an adjective.

“Themed” is a fairly common word in modern English.

Themed means designed or decorated around a particular subject, as in a themed party or themed restaurant. Thematic means relating to themes or subjects more abstractly, as in thematic analysis or a thematic map, so themed describes a physical style while thematic describes ideas.

Theme is a noun meaning the central subject or idea, while themed is an adjective meaning built or decorated around such a subject. A party has a theme, and once it is arranged around that theme it becomes a themed party.

Themed often combines with another word using a hyphen to show the subject, as in space-themed, horror-themed, holiday-themed, or ocean-themed. The first word names the subject that the decoration or design is built around.

Parties, weddings, restaurants, hotels, bars, and rooms are all frequently described as themed. In each case the word means the place or event has been deliberately designed around one clear subject or idea.
