Decorating A Boy's Room

By Forest Talbot

Whether he has outgrown the nursery or perhaps developed a very strong interest in a particular subject, the idea of re-decorating a boy's room can be as exciting as it is overwhelming. This is one of those decorating projects where you want strong individual input and you will not be too concerned over the impact on other family members or on visitors. This will be his room and his wishes concerning the dcor will be paramount.

The first thing you need to figure out when going to decorate your boys room is what kind of theme you want the room to be in. But remember that if your boy is old enough he should be able to pick a theme for the room. This is a great way to do a project as a family and to have your young one feel like they have accomplished something. Maybe the theme will be a favorite cartoon of his or even a movie whose characters he loves. Whatever it is make sure the theme is set before beginning the project.

If not, you may have to help him decide among a multitude of options. Whatever theme is selected, the marketplace stands ready to provide you with an impressive array of offerings that are theme related. Paint colors, bed coverings, wall coverings, rugs, lamps and bed lights, furniture, desks, etc. can all be themed and coordinated.

When you have figured out the theme you can now go and clear out the room and begin buying the new items. Not the bed of course, since your child will still be sleeping in the room but the other wall hangings from the old theme and all that. Remember if you can to include your child in this step too they may find a perfect picture that goes great with the theme.

How about a jungle theme you can get those walls and paint them in some nice greens or browns; adding in some borders that have jungle pictures on them or a bedspread that has some animals from the jungle on them. Don't forget to add a nice jungle themed rug to the room.

With a theme like sports, his walls can be covered in college and professional player posters, his lamp can be a football, his rug can be a gridiron.

You have too many themes that will be possible to do the boys room in, so you most likely will have several different ways that you can go about adding to the theme and decor of the room.

Something that will be unique would be to hire someone to paint on the walls of the room. Or maybe if your child is old enough they can make their own work of art. This will allow your child to express his creativeness and will create a room that will absolutely be one of a kind. Make sure that the bed covers you get go with the theme and the other colors in the room.

It will great fun planning such a themed room but it will be even greater fun to see the expression of joy on your son's face when he realizes that he is going to be living in a room that he helped to create, in a make-believe world that he chose.
