Superhero-Themed Bedroom

Superheros are a favorite for boys. Spiderman, Batman, and Superman are the most popular of all superheroes and allow for greater choices of themed fabrics and materials. A large selection of wallpaper can be found which allows for more flexible wall designs over the traditional methods. The use of borders will dress up a boys bedroom with their favorite hero printed on the border.

Cartoon-Themed Bedroom

Cartoon characters have always been popular. With a great selection available such as Scooby Do, Bugs Bunny, Snoopy and more, finding bedding sheets, lamps or themed trashcans can dress up a room quickly. Towels for the bathroom and toys will be easy to add. Don’t forget about the matching pajamas!

Sports-Themed Bedroom

Pennant, posters and jerseys are a great solution for walls. Souveniours trophies and sports items can be proudly displays on shelves or furniture. Paint the room in the colors of your son's favorite team. Sports themed rugs, furniture, and beds are another possibility.

Outer Space-Themed Bedroom

Fascinate your child with an outer space theme. Rockets, space ships and aliens are a great solution for the walls using wall paper or stencils, while the stars, planets and moon will create a dreamy effect on the ceiling. Accents can include star-shaped ceiling lights, sparkling silvery-moons posters and bed shaped like spaceships will help imagine some great decorating ideas for your kids room.

Animal-Themed Bedroom

Children love animals, so why not decorate with tigers, lions, dogs, cats, even bugs! Be sure to put up lots of pictures with your son and his best friend around the room and make sure you have stuffed animals scattered everywhere. Snakes can be wrapped around lamp poles or headboards, while bugs can be stuck on windows or hung fom the ceiling.

Disney-Themed Bedroom

Disney themes are always a big hit. Popular characters from Toy Story, Monster Inc, Lion King, and Hercules can be found as decorative window treatments, wall paper, and bedding sheets. Themed tables and chairs add a nice touch for a small play area in your childs room, while posters of their favorite characters can be displayed on the walls. When finished, just add the toys that match the theme!

Racing-Themed Bedroom

Racing is very popular with boys. Area rug with a car track design will get you started with this theme. Furniture such as a car bed can be the focal point of the room, while decorating the walls with a car wall appliqués or black and white checkered flags. Add some framed calendar photos or posters of race cars, and put up shelving to display car collections.

Western-Themed Bedroom

Go back in time with a western theme, Rustic style furniture provides the right feel and look. Compliment the theme with a wooden rocking horse and rope borders. Bandanas work well for windows treatments and rawhide lamp shades will add the finishing touches to create a complete western look.

When decorating your child's room, allow your child to select the design theme. Their bedroom is where they spend a lot of time playing games, reading, studying or just hanging out. Home decorating books and magazines can be a great source for ideas that can help you and your child visualize the room of his dreams.
