Fun Decorating Themes For A Boy’s Bedroom
It’s so much fun to decorate a child’s bedroom. The play of colors and designs just bring out the child in anyone. Everything looks so cute!
Boys are becoming much more opinioned about how they would like to decorate their bedroom. Also, decorating a child’s room allows the parents to freely express creativity. OK, it is also about reminiscing the pastimes and freedom of their own childhoods.
Just like everything else, new eventually turns old. Color is no exemption, so sticking with the standard boy colors don’t work anymore. Yes, perhaps for his nursery it did. But now, he has his favorite colors or those hues that blend much better with the rest of the room’s furnishings. Be flexible and don’t argue blue should be the only color in his room.
This is your boy’s chance to tell mommy what he wants in his room. Decorate according to his preferred theme or something that reflects his favorites. Is it aircraft-inspired, music oriented, Peter Pan’s hometown, island getaway or under the sea? If your son wants a certain theme, make him happy and give in to his request. Think of it as artistic expression. Below are more themes you can consider:
Try the bug theme. Most boys love bugs. They are forever digging in the dirt, hoping to find a bug to show Mom and Dad. Perfect accessories include a frog lamp, framed pictures of insects, and netting in the corner of the room.
Auto racing is another favorite among boys. What little boy doesn’t love the sound of a roaring racecar? In fact, they mimic the noise all the time! With a car bed, black and white checkered flag, posters and narrow shelving to display their own car collection, a boy is set to race.
Animals are everywhere even the extinct ones in children’s memory. They learn about them in school, hence it’s not surprising that a lot of kids are fascinated with two, four or multi-legged living organisms (humans not counted). Decorate with animal prints, miniature figures, artworks and big stuffed toys. Your son will love the transformation from ordinary bedroom to a zoo right in his own home. Get ready with a steady supply of fruit juice for his friends who’ll be coming over.
If your son is an astronomer in the making or the next generation of astronaut to visit the outer space, decorating with an outer space theme is perfect. The colors can be from midnight blue to light blue with streaks of white and yellow. You can also paint the walls with images of space – planets, stars, comets, etc. Use lighting that can shift from bright to glowing, so it will enhance the feeling of space even more. It will be so exciting to fall asleep amongst the bright stars and big planets of the universe.
A very popular boy’s theme is sports. Whatever sport he is interested in, use the equipment and athletes to help you decorate the room. A baseball lamp, a soccer ball pillow, a basketball-printed bed sheet, a tennis ball-colored beanbag or posters of his favorite hockey players will express one of his joys in life.
If he is an artist, use his own artworks as the room’s decorations. They will look awesome as wall hangings or framed and placed neatly on a table or shelves. Make his bedroom his own art gallery. What a thrilling way for him to see a future of opening his own exhibit someday. And a great way to practice too.
To complete the decorating process, use area rugs. Choose colors that will complement the rest of the room. A design that will catch your eyes. A shape that can be unique such as a cute round or oblong rug. A pattern that’s fun to look at. There are such things as children area rugs made of non-toxic materials and safe for children to use. These rugs come with designs for children’s eyes. They are also lighter, which makes them easier to clean. Don’t worry about the spilled milk!
Ask your son to help you out. I’m sure he will look forward to the idea of transforming his bedroom using his own creative genius. Besides, who doesn’t want to decorate with all his favorite things in the world?
