How To Style A Boys Room

6 Styling Tips To Create An Epic Boys Bedroom

Are you wanting to style an awesome new space for your son but don’t know where to start? We have put together 6 top decor tips on how to style a boys bedroom so that you can create the room of his dreams! Boy mamas listen up – you will love this one!

Tip 1: Pick your theme

Select a theme that aligns with your son’s personal interests, for example sports, cars, jungle, space, under the sea, superheroes, trucks or animals.

Tip 2: Choose your colours

Choose a cohesive colour scheme that coordinates with the theme. We are big fans of colour here at H+N and we think that kids love it too, so why not go for something bold? If you’re feeling brave you could repaint the walls but if you want to do something more subtle with less commitment, then focus on adding splashes of colour through the soft furnishings like bedding and rugs. Some of our favourite colour pairings for boys rooms include light blue & tan, rust & dark green, mustard & teal, sage & brown and navy & cool neutrals.

Tip 3: Personalise it

Personalisation can make a space feel really special for a child or teen. Artwork is a great way of incorporating personalisation, either through posters and prints relating to their interests, photographs, or our current favourite obsession – neon name art!

Tip 4: Make it cosy

Choose ambient lighting and comfortable furnishings to create a cosy atmosphere they love to relax in. Think bean bags, cosy reading nooks and comfy beds. Our super soft rugs are another great way of adding warmth and texture to a kids room.

Tip 5: Make it functional

Kids have SO much stuff – remember to include a variety of functional storage solutions such as drawers, cubbies, baskets, cupboards and shelving to keep the space easy to use, tidy and organised. Make sure the room supports what they need it for, whether that is studying, playing, relaxing or just sleeping. Also remember that kids get mucky – so choose furnishings that are durable and easy to clean, just like our machine washable rugs ;-)

Tip 6: Involve your son

Involving your son in the decision making process will not only ensure that he loves the space, but it can also be great fun for both of you to get stuck into a styling project together.
