Designing a boy’s bedroom can be fun and exhausting at the same time. It can be so much fun as you can fill their bedroom with all of their favourite toys and colours. You can even style their bedroom in the theme of their favourite film or TV show. However, with their opinions constantly changing, sometimes it’s tough to pinpoint an exact theme and stick to it. Fear not; this article will highlight themes that can inspire you when designing your child’s bedroom. Hopefully, these themes will last them from the early years to toddler ages and even a little more.
Space
A space themed bedroom is an excellent choice for a child. It’s a pretty gender-neutral theme, so it’s ideal if small children are sharing a room or if a new baby comes along and needs their own room. The thought of space is exciting for many children, and a space-themed bedroom can only encourage more excitement. It’s easy to create a space-themed bedroom, and considering navy is on-trend right now, it’s never been easier to find space accessories.
When creating a space-themed room, you may want to consider all of the space elements or just a few. For example, you may want to focus on rockets and astronauts. You may want to create a space-themed room about the planets and stars. You may want to incorporate all aspects of space; it totally depends on what accessories you can find and what features the room needs to include. For a simpler themed room, you may just want to have darker walls, which are great for concealing sticky fingerprints, by the way, planet posters and perhaps a space-themed light fitting with some other accessories. This is probably an appropriate choice if you’re planning on switching rooms any time soon as it will take minimal effort to redecorate. For something a little more engaging, you may want to add stars to the ceiling, a mural of a rocket, and even a neon astronaut from Neon Mama on the wall. Any child is sure to be happy with a bright sign and fantastic artwork as the colours will be incredibly exciting.
Safari
A safari theme is perhaps the most classic design for a child’s bedroom. It’s a theme that can quickly grow with a child and last them for many years. Animals are often adorable, but when painted on walls, printed onto bedding and even made into stuffed animals, they get even cuter. Any child is bound to like some sort of animal and at least have a favourite, so as they grow, that favourite animal can be easily incorporated into the room’s design. Plus, with a safari-themed room, neutral, earthy and light tones can be used throughout the room, making it easy on the eyes. This can make for a relaxing and calming environment, just what children need when drifting off to sleep.
A safari themed room can be styled in many ways. Some parents like to pick a particular animal and use it as inspiration for the whole room. A giraffe is a popular choice for this. Others want to use various animals you may find on an African safari. Again, it depends on your own tastes as well as what your child likes. A safari themed room is also a great way to incorporate greenery. This is great if you love to look after plants, especially exotic ones.
Underwater
There is something quite magical about water. Most babies and children absolutely love swimming and bathing, and bringing that joy into their bedroom is quite special. Common underwater themes include brightly coloured fish and coral murals on the wall or even wall decals. These bright colours are engaging and great for development. Led lights can also be used to represent bubbles, as can lava lamps and sensory tubes with fish. Not only are these practical features, but they look pretty too. However, that’s not the only way to incorporate water into a bedroom theme. Beaches, coastal walks and even surfing may inspire an oceanic theme.
