Boy’s Room Decoration Tips

It all starts and ends with “Boys will be Boys”

Having a boy either a baby boy or a full-grown teenager is all about superheroes, football, hockey, and action figures. Whether a ten-year-old kid or an eighteen-year-old young man, everyone has a textbook personality and taste profile when it comes to decorating their room walls. It’s good to give in to all the superhero action figures and wallpapers to find an easy way out while decorating a boy’s room.

But, it is also important to realize that boys go through transitions in their personality many times and their preferences change as well. So, while decorating a room for a boy, it is important to go for some aesthetic margin in decoration that sits well with changes in preferences and choices of your child. So, I have gathered together some important themes and ideas to use while decorating a room more gender-specific, especially related to boys.

Some of the decorative items that are neutral and textbook to all age groups of boys are as follows.

Bean Bag chairs

Bean bag chairs are soft and comfy and are loved to be cozied in by everyone either males or females. Keeping a bean bag chair would not only add a unique decorative element but is also good for your posture. When you sit in a bean bag chair, it maintains your poster and is therapeutic for anyone’s back pain.

Posters

Posters of a favorite movie character like superman, batman, or captain America would always be a hit for the boys!. Being a perfect decorative element, posters would stand at a prominent place in a room. So, it’s a wise choice to get a perfect poster for the little man in your house. You can always find age-appropriate posters like a poster of a cartoon character or an anime.

Wallpapers

Wallpapers of muted and dark colors would be perfect for a subtle manly statement. Aside from blue, grey, beige, olive, zinc can all be used as wallpaper colours for decorating a boy’s room. Simple patterned wallpapers also work for this purpose like blocks, boxes, squares or any other simple shapes would work perfectly to make a simple and mysterious statement.

Action figures

Action figures have been around for so many decades and their popularity is only increasing with the billion-dollar industry of superhero movies. Some of the unique and famous action figures are even auctioned for thousands of dollars. Replicas of your kid’s favorite superhero would be an amazing addition to their room.

Statues

Statues are different from action figures because statues can be of any personality in real life or any myth or legend. Statue doesn’t have to be the portrayal of action heroes but can be a symbolism of religion and blessings. Like Budha that would provide an attractive decorative item in your kid’s room and also provide his blessings in your kid’s life.

Video Games

Video games with their gear and remote controls and set up can be a lot of mess. But they are food for the soul for the boys no matter the age. So, before your baby boy (regardless of age, he would still be your baby boy), makes a mess of his room setting up the video game, you can join him and make a perfect setting. You can keep the whole thing in a specific heightened location with wires masked and protected. It would be like a separate station and would give a tacky and fun aura to your little guy’s room.

Collectables

Collectables are my favorite and I can bet all the money I will get for my collectibles that your child likes them too. Collectible items are of many types. It can be stamped, which are a little outdated but not forgotten, paintings, comic books, posters, toys, movie props like swords and gadgets, and outfits of superheroes ( I would love the Iron man’s suit). These collectibles can be used to decorate the room of your kid and he would absolutely adore his favorite items on display and also create a unique attraction of that place. If you want to find the perfect collectible items that can also be decoration items, then this article has everything “Perfect Collectible for you”.

Sports items

If your son plays any sport then that’s your cue. Instead of throwing around his headgear, his baseballs, or bats and helmets everywhere in the room, why not arrange them perfectly in an attractive setting in a specified corner. That way, it would look good and neat and also be easier for him to find everything he would need and he needs them. The 101 of room decorating is to present everything that has a useful purpose and can be a mess, as a decoration in a room.

Use more masculine colors

Boys will be boys, it’s always right, and boys are more attracted towards more muted and dark colors in a place. Dark colors bring more nuance, peace, and aura of mystery to a place. These are perfect for a boy’s room, colors like light to dark grey, blue to navy blue, even black can work but in the right combination with other colors. You can always combine a dark color with lighter shades to avoid going too dull and drab.

LED Lights and Quotes

LED lights with different quotes are honestly the best way to decorate any room either boys’ or girls’. I am a fan of these things, they light up a room and also deliver the message most subtly and decorate a place with their colors and light. You can get customized LEDs with funny quotes like “Mancave, where men can be men” “Don’t grow up,  it’s a trap!” and my personal favorite “How you doin”. So there are a lot of things you can play with while decorating a room with LED lights.

Keep it simple!

All of the individual items sound nice when combined with one or more items but don’t overdo it too much. Leave a lot of space to move around and do not make the room feel cluttered especially if your kid is of small age. When kids are going, they are hyperactive and run around literally everywhere. So, it’s necessary to keep lots of free space and make sure there is nothing in the way from which your kid can get hurt. Also, keep everything you are decorating the room with at a safe height and distance according to the age of your child.

Get stacked on storage

As your kid grows up their minds evolve and their preferences change. What they loved one year, they would just throw away the next. Plus kids grow up so quickly or it seems as such, so, to create storage space for their stuff, their games, their toys, sports stuff, clothes, comic books, and everything, you need smart storage places in the room. For smart hacks to keep stuff hidden and safe and not to create a mess of everything, you can use wall hanging book rails, under the bed storage crates, built-in cabinets, and closets. You can find some super useful storage hacks that work well in a small area to accommodate maximum stuff with minimum clutter with this article 21 small spaces hacks and storage ideas to Maximize Small Spaces.

An awesome workstation!

Aside from all the video games, comic books, sports, and TV, another important thing that needs to be integrated is a workstation. Create a perfect, comfortable, mood, and nature-appropriate workstation where he can work and study and achieve big things. There is psychology at play here. Psychology says that when our minds are distracted often, we cannot focus on a task, so make sure that the study area of your kid’s room is free of any distractions like games and stuff and also has everything in place. If your child has to get up now and then to find a book or a stationery item, it will distract them and affect their attention span. So, for kids who are school going, their rooms must have a fully equipped work and study area. You can also decorate the area with green plants to stimulate the mind while working.

Create an escape corner!

Might sound a bit weird but everyone gets tired from life no matter how young or old. So for that purpose, you can create a secret hideout, an escape for your little one. Like a pillow fort or a camping cottage at the corner of the room where he can just enjoy his alone time playing video games and watching TV.  It’s a little unconventional but would be a great idea when your kid has play dates so his friends and he can play games and enjoy the comfort of the home.

Bring fresh colors to the room in a subtle way

One way to create a colorful mess and also to integrate some beautiful colors in any room is to use some colorful flowers and plants. It hasn’t been stressed enough that colors play a major role in the well-being of one’s mind. To stimulate creativity, provide a calm and soothing atmosphere, some specific colors play a significant role. Like red gives energy, white provides calmness, green stimulates memories and creativity. So, to get the health benefits and to introduce colors in a room, plants and flowers are of the utmost necessity. And if you want to spare your child from the duty of taking care of plants and flowers, you can go for faux ones with all the health benefits and everlasting beautiful colors.

Get age-appropriate furniture for the room

That statement is justified by itself. When kids are growing they go through different phases of choices and preferences. If they die, heart enthusiasts of one thing, one time, they might dislike that same thing after a few months. So, it’s important to set the furniture according to your kid’s choice because they have to live in that room. So, get the right kind of furniture for the right age and mindset of your child.
