Decorating the Perfect Boys Bedroom

By Robin LoRé

When one mentions fashionable, fun and personalized bedroom décor for kids, most parents and retailers automatically think of the fanciful and frilly little girls’ bedroom. But great bedroom décor is not just for little girls anymore. Boys increasingly want in on the action. Of course this requires a more rough and tumble touch and a little more planning on your part as the choices available are not yet as wide and varied as they are for girls rooms, however, there are lots of fun and imaginative ideas for creating the perfect space for your little guy. Companies who specialize in child’s décor are recognizing this new trend in child’s bedroom decorating and are responding by creating more options for boys’ bedrooms. Decorating the perfect room for your little guy can be fun, exciting and very rewarding if you use your imagination.

Not sure where to start? Most decorators agree that the first place to start when decorating any room is with a great paint job. Whether you create a contrast of bold boy colors, or splurge for a unique, personalized custom mural, the color of the walls will set the tone for all that is added later on. You can also personalize your boy’s bedroom walls with borders, decals and appliqués. If you don’t have any specific ideas in mind, your best bet would be to select a theme and bring aspects of it into the room. Does your son like the ocean? Go with a beach themed boy’s room. Do race cars really rev him up? Go with an Indie 500 race track theme bed. Perhaps dragons and knights are more his style, then a medieval castle theme bed would probably spark his imagination for years to come.

Once you have decided on paint color(s) and have added some personal touches to it, or have had a great mural painted, the next step is to find a great bed set. Enter Sweet Dream Bed; this company makes customized bed sets for boys’ bedrooms that are amazingly imaginative, safe, and of a very high quality. Although the company originally started in the girls’ bedroom décor field, the high demand for boy’s décor led them into the market for boys. They can make any type of theme bed to match the one you have decided on for your son’s bedroom. In fact, their beds are so stunning that you might want to use one of them as inspiration for your ultimate boy’s bedroom. In any case, whether you decide to go with a custom made set or a standard commercial bed set, be sure to choose one that offers plenty of storage, flexibility, and is made well for long lasting durability that will stand up to years of rough use.

After you have chosen a bedroom set that will grow with your boy, you will want to add touches that will finish off the room beautifully. You can use curtains, bed linens, area rugs, lamps and small furniture accessories such as toy chests, table & chair sets and benches to give the perfect finishing touch to your boy’s bedroom. Be sure to select colors that go well with what you have chosen thus far and make sure that anything you add is safe and sturdy as well.

If you need more inspiration for boy’s bedroom decorating, utilize the Internet to research your ideas in more detail. A quick search for castle, ocean, race car or other themes will yield great results and provide you with companies who provide just the thing you need for your son’s room. Lastly, and most importantly, have fun doing it! Decorating your son’s bedroom should be a joint venture between you and its special inhabitant. Let your son participate in the decision making process and be sure to make it a space that he will love and truly enjoy spending time in. Happy decorating!
