Boys Bedroom Ideas - design Tips for Kids Bedrooms

As a professional interior designer, and one who specializes in kid's bedroom design (it is the most rewarding and fun!), I think that one of the most important elements in the first design of a dinky boy's bedroom, is to comprise your son in the process as much as possible. When they are a dinky older, it's great to sit and have a quick argument on what they envision their new bedroom will look like. Although the details covered in this process are largely dependent on your child's age, by the age of three, most children will already have formed some preferences as to what colors they like best, and some will have a definite theme in mind. Another way to start is by having them look at some of the photos of the kid's bedding that is available online, and have them point out any styles that motion to them right away.

Many dinky boys do seem to like keen and bold former colors and Disney action figures, but there are those that dream of pirates, dinosaurs, building themes, cars, trains, planes, or western themes. Children's bedding can be purchased by 'bed in a bag sets', where all is included. These sets are often very economically priced, and a good selection when you reconsider that they may have Another bedroom design convert in any years.

Bedroom Sets

A beneficial tip, and one that I very recommend, is to buy the bedding prior to painting the room. It works best to bring the quilt or comforter, shams, etc. Into the paint store with you to ensure you get the exquisite "match" on color or tone. For instance, if there is a grey-blue color in the bedding set, you may want to tone the paint color down a few shades for the walls. I all the time bring the paint samples home prior to purchasing the paint, just to see how the actual lighting in the room, effects the color. I take about 10 paint samples and tape them to the wall, leaving them there for a day or so, as to avoid production a decision too quickly. Day and evening light can have an impact on your color choice.

Artwork is fun to merge into a child's room as well. There is lots of artwork available for dinky boy's rooms that can be purchased online. Another option, is to simply find a photo reserved supply website, save and print the image, and buy simple frames to put them in. I did this for my own children, and was very happy with the outcome. Again, here is Another fun way to comprise your child in the design process. If they are looking for cowboys, horses, trains or cars, simply type this in, and there are hundreds of options to pick from. Vector images are great for cartoon type characters. If you are handy with Adobe Photoshop or a similar program, you can convert colors in the images, add text (such as their name or keen quote), or put a collage together using any photos. I usually buy the frames from Ikea, and sometimes paint the frames to match a color in the bedding or image.
