Bedroom Ideas For Boys

Sunday, November 3, 2013

By Beverly Gillespie


Our children spend most of their time in their own room, either playing games or studying, watching cartoons, etc. Therefore, it is very important that our kids' room should be based on their likes, dislikes and choices.

The most important step in deciding for the decoration of your kids' room, talk to them to get a clear idea of their preferences, colors, likes, hobbies, etc. this will help in carving a perfect room for your kids.

Many little boys do seem to like bright and bold primary colors and Disney action figures, but there are those that dream of pirates, dinosaurs, construction themes, cars, trains, planes, or western themes. Children's bedding can be purchased by 'bed in a bag sets', where everything is included. These sets are often very economically priced, and a good option when you consider that they may have another bedroom design change in several years.

For bed covers, bed sheets and curtains, use prints that are either floral or have simple geometrical patterns. Animal prints, prints with alphabets, places, seven wonders of the world, etc. can also be used. For decorative items, it is advisable to not put any glassware or decorative piece in the kids' room. Instead, decorate your kids' room with games, childish furniture like a bean bag, some soft toys, toy cycle, etc. If possible, leave as much free space as possible in the room for your kid to roam about in the room with hitting at the furniture. Try placing a carpet at one location in the room where your child can sit on the floor and enjoy some games with friends.

For example, if your son is a baseball fan and loves the Cubs or the Sox, decorate his room accordingly. You can paint the walls in the colors of your son's favorite team or paint your son's favorite team's logo on one of the walls. You can also combine your son's favorite professional team with his school team's colors and logos. You can strategically place his trophies and ribbons in parts of his room where they can be seen.

Artwork is fun to incorporate into a child's room as well. There is lots of artwork available for little boy's rooms that can be purchased online. Another option, is to simply find a photo resource website, save and print the image, and purchase simple frames to put them in. I did this for my own children, and was very happy with the outcome. Again, here is another fun way to include your child in the design process. If they are looking for cowboys, horses, trains or cars, simply type this in, and there are hundreds of options to choose from. Vector images are great for cartoon type characters. If you are handy with Adobe Photoshop or a similar program, you can change colors in the images, add text (such as their name or inspiring quote), or put a collage together using several photos. I usually purchase the frames from Ikea, and sometimes paint the frames to match a color in the bedding or image.
