To get the inspiration flowing, we're spotlighting our favorite boy's rooms. From calming and neutral to over-the-top and bold, these ideas will satisfy everyone in your house—and we bet your daughter will love these decorating ideas, too.

Incorporate Pattern
In the bedroom of Cortney and Robert Novogratz's younger son, the design duo added crane linens—from the Novogratz by Utica collection for WestPoint Home—that were inspired by old wallpaper discovered in their West Village home during demolition. A bright blue locker nightstand and personal decor add playfulness.

Start Small
While a bed that's low to the ground might not grow with your child, it can certainly make for an easy big kid bed transition. Here, the bed in designer Chauncy Boothby’s son’s room has been passed down through her husband’s family for four generations. She paired the classic brown furniture with fun nautical wallpaper, perfect for a growing child.

Create a Built-In Bed
For a small kid's room with a bump-out that couldn't be altered, designer Kelly Finley incorporated a custom bed with a desk on one side and built-in storage so that the child could still have space in the room to play.

Go Rustic
Create a cohesive look in a room that has exposed beams with matching beds and ladders. In a Massachusetts home, designer Amanda Greaves and architect John Mitchell Fuller used leftover barn pieces and added red, white, and blue accents for Americana vibes.

Think About Playtime
Kids often spend time playing in their rooms, so make sure it's well-suited for those activities. In the boys' room of a New York City apartment, designer Raymond Boozer embraced soft surfaces, like a fluffy IKEA rug, and rich colors to optimize the room for playtime.

Shop for Antiques
Invest in pre-loved items that will grow with your child as they age and can be passed on through generations. In the son's room of Country Living editor-in-chief Rachel Hardage Barrett's Alabama house, vintage wall decor, and side tables make the room feel lived-in. Vintage thermoses and flashlights add an element of collector's fun.

Make It Double as a Guest Room
To ensure a family's two sons had a big open area to play and a place for their friends to spend the night, designer Andrew Howard arranged a pair of bunk beds in the corner of the room. Built-in storage further saves space in the bedroom.

Look to the Sky
Create a light, airy space by taking inspiration from the sky. Here, designer Lucy Harris chose Bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling of Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to make the white bunks feel as though they're floating.

Emphasize a Sport
If you have everything but the wall decor figured out, take inspiration from this tennis racket display in a South Carolina home by designer Alaina Michelle Ralph. Get creative when applying it to other sports, like featuring an open shelf lined with baseballs.
Studio/Lifesytle

Build a Slide
It simply doesn't get any cooler than this bedroom designed by California-based firm Studio Life/Style. With a half-stair and half/slide hybrid, a lofted hangout zone, and a full-sized bed that still leaves room for a sitting area, you may as well stop clicking through and just send this to your contractor (just kidding, there's more of this goodness to come).
Heidi Caillier

Let Them Choose the Color Scheme
If they have a favorite color, choose fun accent pieces that let it shine. In this bedroom designed by Heidi Callier, the blush pink curtains lighten the mood and allow for a sectioned-off "play zone" under the top bunks. The warm browns and woods create a warm foundation.

Incorporate Family Memories
New York designer Alexa Hampton brought in grown-up furniture and a custom Dean Barger mural inspired by a family trip to Rome when her now 12-year-old twins grew out of their bunk beds. Since sharing a room "can be kind of a drag, looking out of a fake window onto an Italian square," is some consolation, Hampton says.

Strike a Balance
Arent & Pyke opted for modern, sculptural pieces that strike that very careful balance between playful and grownup. From the striped table lamp to the wooden stool, graphic rug, linen bedding, and eye-catching rug, everything feels both youthful and timeless.

Hang a Chair
This little refuge designed by Elizabeth Roberts is both calming and cheerful, thanks to the soft, pleasant colors, which are pretty unique and unexpected in a kid's room, while the playful motifs, shapely daybed, and hanging chair set a fun, kid-friendly tone.
Chango & Co.

Choose a Cool Bed
To soften the punchy stripes and colors of this bedroom, designer Susana Simonpietri of Chango & Co. hung a leather headboard. It will continue to work well with other design schemes as the seven-year-old boy grows up. "It's important to keep the child's current age in mind, as well as the years ahead of him," she says.

Put Up Passions
In the Hawaiian Kona-coast bedroom of a 13-year-old, surfboards pay homage to his happy place. San Francisco-based designer Nicole Hollis made it a place where he can hang out with friends, something that was important to him. "No matter the age, we always ask our clients how they live," she says.

Mix Pattern
Here's another great example of mixing sophisticated designs with whimsical pieces. The burnt orange Kelly Wearstler-upholstered headboard contrasts perfectly with the circus-print wallpaper.

Use a Versatile Paint Color
Think outside of the box when choosing a paint color, but make sure it has versatility. "Less conventional than your typical navy, this striking green plays well with blue, red, gray, black, and even wood tones, making it the perfect accent color for a bedroom that can easily grow with its inhabitant," says designer Emily C. Butler.
Studio McGee

Turn It Into a Bunk Room
Why only have one bunkbed duo when you can create a bunk room optimized for slumber parties? When you have the space for it, the more, the merrier. Rather than just putting two queen beds in the guest room, Studio McGee added twin bunks crossing overhead to maximize sleep space.
Reed Davis

Create Privacy
Create a cozy reading nook with a library wall, built-in daybed, and curtains for privacy. This one is sure to raise a book, and the curtains make it feel like a little nest and add a nice sense of privacy, which is perfect in a room siblings share.
Studio DB

Put It on a Platform
A platform bed with drawers is a genius way to add extra storage for all of your kiddos' toys or clothing if you're lacking in closet space. This one designed by Studio DB doesn't feel overly childish, either, so it can age gracefully throughout the years.

Be Age Appropriate
When designing a bedroom for a precocious teenager, choose a few pieces to have fun with, but make sure each item speaks to the rest of the home's style for a cohesive whole. And, this way, it can function as a guest room when he moves out (you don't have to break that news just yet). This space designed by Heather Hilliard is a great blueprint.
Robson Rak

Let Them Get Involved
Rather than looking at the decorating process as a stressful thing, see it as an opportunity to bond and encourage them to get involved. This way, their personality and passions can really shine through. This room by Robson Rak isn't too fussy or over-the-top and can easily be reworked as the child develops new interests or tastes—plus, it still fits in with the rest of the home. But the side table/oversized stacked Legos are kid-centric and fun.
Jessica Anitola

Repurpose Old Items
Spending a fortune on custom kids' furniture and decor isn't always the wisest investment. You'll cut your costs a ton by repurposing as many items as you can in a kid-friendly way. In this bedroom, for example, interior designer Starrett Zenko Ringbom stacked antique trunks for both extra surface and storage space. The fresh coat of deep turquoise and a large map enliven the walls while a vintage rug plays on that eclectic aesthetic.

Channel Their Happy Place
Designed by Emily Henderson, this kid's nature-inspired bedroom doubles as a playroom, the climbing wall being the obvious highlight. The neutral tones ensure a more stylish aesthetic and the strategically-placed floor cushions lighten things up. There's also a canopy over the bed evocative of a tent, so the room really feels like a camping experience.

Go Monochrome
In this boy's bedroom designed by Barry Dixon, the various prints bring intrigue to the calming blue tones used throughout. The canopies above the twin beds were inspired by his love of camping, infusing the decor with more meaning.

Add Sconces
Forgo a table lamp for sconces that he can easily use to read books in bed. And if he prefers a neutral color palette, liven it up with a patterned headboard, bedding, and throw pillows.

Choose Smart Storage
This bedroom designed by Arent & Pyke takes advantage of every storage opportunity, from the platform bed with built-in drawers to a colorful wall cubby, to store all his favorite toys. The little sitting nook at the end of the bed gives the occupant a place to hang out other than the bed without adding a bulky sitting area in the small room.

Stencil Your Walls
Use stenciled wallpaper (or even test your skills and paint them yourself) for a whimsical wallcovering. This room's animal theme makes it feel like a circus.

Go Blue
If blue is his favorite color, you're in luck. It adds fun color to the room, but isn't too bold or crazy.

26 Chic Decorating Ideas For Your Baby's Nursery
inspiration for sleep, play and study spaces |
Bedroom ideas for boys offer a whole world of opportunity. Think themed spaces, inspiring artwork, bold color, fabulous pattern and more.
And, of course, these kids’ room ideas also have to provide generous storage for all that has to kept in the room to maximize the space and encourage (we can only hope) tidiness.
These bedroom ideas will inspire rooms that can also grow with them, adapting to different requirements as the years pass, and to their changing tastes.
Bedroom ideas for boys
From transportive murals to timeless schemes, we’ve brought together a selection of seriously cool bedrooms for boys – along with some expert advice – to help you design a daring den for your kids.
1. Team blue and yellow for a fresh look
(Image credit: Mylands )
Try putting yellow with blue. 'Our pale blue pigment Notting Hill No. 213 pairs perfectly with Golden Square No. 131, thanks to its orange and umber undertones,' says Dominic Myland, CEO of Mylands .
‘The combination makes for a characterful take on the traditional blue palettes for boys’ rooms, creating a space that feels fresh and fun. ’
2. Incorporate storage that's fun
(Image credit: The Cotswold Company )
Just as with girls' bedroom ideas, plenty of places to stash are a must. 'A great storage option for a child's bedroom, a toy chest is a versatile piece of furniture, providing both storage and seating space,' says Paul Deckland, buying director at The Cotswold Company . ‘These make wonderful family heirlooms that can be passed down from generation to generation.
‘Bookcases are also great additions, being somewhere to house toys, as well as organizing any school work and books.’ Like chests, they’ll also fit in just as well with future bedroom ideas for teenagers.
3. Let toys add the color
(Image credit: ND Studios/Helen Cathcart)
Using a pale palette can keep a room light filled while the items in the room can add accents of color.
'We designed this attic bedroom for a little boy, tucked away at the top of a Brighton townhouse,' says Natascha Dartnall, founder and director of ND Studios . 'We kept the walls and fabrics neutral which means it won’t date easily and will let the toys do the talking!'
4. Use a subtle wallpaper as a starting point
(Image credit: Molly Mahon)
Wallpaper can be a great starting point when you’re designing kids’ bedrooms. 'I love using wallpaper in a bedroom,' says Molly Mahon, textile designer at Molly Mahon .
‘Choose a timeless print and then add more personality with layers of pattern and pops of bright color.’
5. For a retro feel use graphic prints
(Image credit: Karen B. Wolf Interiors/Christian Caribaldi)
Graphic prints are a striking choice with great retro style. 'For this boy’s bedroom, we chose reoccurring patterns with a pop of orange to make for a fun and light space,' says Karen Wolf, creative principal of Karen B Wolf Interiors. ‘Orange looks great combined with white and black but also looks great combined with gray which gives it a sense of calmness.’
6. Create a cozy bed nook
(Image credit: Annie Sloan )
A bed nook is a feature they’ll love and color can make it even more cocooning. 'Young minds benefit hugely from the use of color, invention and playfulness in their bedrooms to stimulate their imaginations and their playtime,' says Annie Sloan, color and paint expert at Annie Sloan .
7. Aim high with the sleeping space
(Image credit: Farrow & Ball )
An elevated sleeping area is a great idea for a kid’s room. ‘When they're younger they can use the “secret” area below for hiding out and playing in, and when they're older it can become a study space,’ says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor, Homes & Gardens. ‘It’s a design solution that would work for girls, too, providing room for homework in teenage girls’ bedrooms.
‘Highlight the bed by painting it in a contrasting color and why not paper one wall in a matching shade?'
8. Opt for a double-use bed
(Image credit: Curated Nest Interiors)
'All kids love nooks and forts and this [low house] bed gives you a bit of that. We throw a sheet over it or make it into a puppet show area,' says Lina Galvao, co-founder and design principal of Curated Nest Interior s.
9. Mix materials for a room with lasting good looks
(Image credit: Lisa Le Duc Design/Seth Smoot/Kendra Smoot)
'Mixing textures and materials elevates children's bedrooms to feel as if they have more longevity,' says Lisa Le Duc, lead interior designer at Lisa Le Duc Design .
‘The child can grow with them – wallpaper, wood paneling and Farrow & Ball paint are the major backdrop.’
10. Consider heights and corners
(Image credit: Stèphanie Coutas/Francis Amiand)
'We chose to use a blue and white striped Cole & Son wallpaper to tie in with the accents of color around the room while bringing a playful element,' says Stéphanie Coutas, interior designer and founder of Stéphanie Coutas of this boy’s bedroom.
'When designing children’s rooms, it is important to pay attention to details such as avoiding right angles, playing with heights, etc, so that little ones can evolve in a safe and adapted environment.
‘On a more practical side, we created hidden storage spaces and used fun boxes and chests for toys to avoid cluttering the space. '
11. Think multi-use furniture
(Image credit: Neptune)
Whether you’re planning boy’s room decor or mulling over playroom ideas, opt for furniture that does more than one job.
‘Investing in a timeless and well-made piece of furniture that offers multiple uses – like a chest of drawers that doubles up as a shelf for displaying toys and trinkets – will save on space and make sure the design is working as hard as possible, for as long as possible,' says George Miller, home designer at Neptune .
12. Pick a nursery scheme that will grow with them
(Image credit: Mark Bolton)
While soft pastels are always a favorite for a nursery, think carefully about color schemes and boys' room decor that is likely to grow with the child – if you’re not looking to redecorate in a few year’s time, try something that can work just as well for an older child.
‘For boys’ nurseries, we’re absolutely loving the fresh, modern approach of a two-tone nursery,’ says Justin Segal, director of product and brand management at Storkcraft . ‘While a monotone nursery is a timeless and classic choice, a two-tone nursery piece will add edginess, flair, character, and personality to the nursery.’
13. Ensure your furniture choices are timeless
(Image credit: Future/Paul Raeside)
Buying timeless furniture that won't date quickly, or be grown out of, is a must ensuring it can be used later on in teenage boys’ bedroom ideas.
‘Because your son’s posters on the wall may change throughout boyhood, the furniture in the room should be ready to adapt to any phase your son will go through,’ says Justin Segal.
‘Investing in furniture that will surely stand the test of time – meaning versatile, timeless, "ready for any phase my son is going to go through" furniture – is a wise decision that will protect your son’s bedroom furniture from looking out of place, while looking good well into the teen years.’
This includes built-in storage with adjustable shelves that can adapt as a child grows.

If your child’s room is home to an awkward, largely unused nook, see it not as a hurdle, but a space for adventure.
In this bedroom, what appears to have formerly been a walk-in closet area has been transformed into a partially closed-off bed area, equipped with built-in shelves for books and toys and useful under-bed storage.
This is also great when planning small bedroom ideas for kids that will maximize a compact space. In this instance, the room has also been kept light through the use of pale colored wallpaper, linen and furniture.
15. Fire up their imagination with a theme
(Image credit: Crown )
A bedroom doesn’t just have to be a bedroom – for a young boy, it can become a whole new world.
‘Coming up with a theme is a great way to inject some fun and personality into the space,’ says Judy Smith, color consultant at Crown . ‘This could be a nautical look, a safari-inspired mural or simple stenciling effects with lots of colors. ’
This boys' room decor transports its inhabitant to a snowy wonderland by using simple kids' room paint ideas. The soft neutral colors are echoed throughout the furnishings, while a teepee-inspired bed conjures fantasies of camping under the stars.
16. Neutral colors grow with a child
(Image credit: Future / Davide Lovatti)
While color is a must in a child’s bedroom, it’s still sensible to consider a neutral paint scheme. This can act as a backdrop to chromatic flourishes and allow you to personalize a shared bedroom.
‘When designing a boy’s bedroom, we like to keep things simple,’ says Arlene McIntyre, founder and director of Ventura . ‘Go for timeless colors – blues, grays or neutrals – which will enable you to be more playful with soft furnishings and artwork, whilst ensuring the room won’t have to be repainted as the child grows.’
17. When it comes to beds, think outside the box
(Image credit: Future/Rachel Whiting)
Banish the boredom from bedtime by turning a child’s sleep space into a magical hideout. This loft bed has been designed to resemble a treehouse, while a backdrop of mismatched botanical children's bedroom wallpaper designs gives a subtle sense of sleeping in forest canopies.
Loft bed designs can help maximize vertical space in small bedroom ideas for boys, creating storage and play areas beneath the bed frame. With some careful carpentry, consider turning theirs into a castle, pirate ship or fire truck.
18. Smart storage is a lifesaver
(Image credit: string furniture)
‘Keeping your child’s bedroom orderly and clutter-free can be a challenge, but simply installing the right storage can help to resolve this,’ says Peter Erlandssom, co-owner and director of String .
‘As adults, we would naturally fit shelving at our own height, but installing it so that your child can easily reach items from it is much more effective.’
As with color choice, be sure to think about how your child will grow in the space. Modular systems like this shelving unit are one of the most versatile bedroom ideas for boys, as they can be altered as your child grows and their storage needs change.
19. Select blue for its timeless quality
(Image credit: Carrier and Company/Tim Lenz)
While we’re all for chucking gender stereotypes out the window, blue’s beneficial qualities make it a color still worth considering in bedroom ideas for boys. Proven to relax the senses, it can be both striking and calming when used in a bedroom.
‘Blue is such a good color for a boy’s room because it’s a color that easily grows up with a child,’ says Mara Miller, co-principal of interior design firm Carrier and Company . ‘A bold blue has the ability to be both playful and handsome, graphic and still serene.’
20. Create a focal point with a one-wall mural
(Image credit: Ventura)
Wondering how to weave your chosen theme throughout the room? A mural is a great place to start. ‘Depending on the space, wall murals are a clever way of bringing the room to life,’ says Arlene McIntyre. ‘Capturing the child’s imagination or celebrating his hobbies or passions, one-wall murals create a welcome focal point to the space. ’
In this room by Ventura, one wall is covered with a beautiful mural depicting wild animals in a lush savannah. Intricate paintwork like this may be beyond your artistic capabilities – if so, consider hiring an artist or choosing a mural wallpaper as statement wall decor for the bedroom instead.
21. Make your decor educational
(Image credit: Future/Jody Stewart)
Theming a room isn’t just a way to make bedroom ideas for boys feel fun – it’s also a great excuse to sneak a little bit of learning into their day. Part of this child’s bedroom has been wallpapered with a global map, a move that not only inspires a sense of adventure but also teaches them a little bit of geography by absorption.
Think about their interests and use the room's decor to teach them more about them – for example, paint the planets on the ceiling, or fill a mural with different dinosaurs and their species.
22. Bunk beds can be highly stylish
(Image credit: Rebecca McAlpin/Megan Gorelick)
Whether it’s for twins, siblings or in preparation for regular sleepovers, bunk beds are always double the fun. As playful a furniture piece as they are, there’s no reason why they can’t be sophisticated enough to stand the test of time.
This contemporary bedroom by Delaware-based design firm Megan Gorelick Interiors features a plenty of sleep space, with storage cleverly incorporated into drawers beneath the lower bunks. Wall lights and storage niches within each bunk encourage nighttime reading and neatness (we can only hope).
23. Washable paint is a must for young ones
(Image credit: Future / Polly Wreford)
When it comes to choosing wall finishes for boys' room decor, it’s not just color you need to think about. ‘Whatever you choose, I’d recommend using washable paint,’ says Smith. ‘Sticky fingerprints and crayon marks can be easily wiped or washed off the wall, and the colour will look just as good as when you first painted it!’
24. Upgrade your finishes for teenage rooms
(Image credit: Future/Jody Stewart)
When designing for a teenage boy, many of these rules (an adaptable color scheme, storage, lots of personality) still apply – but they all require a slightly more sophisticated touch.
This bedroom still follows a theme – this time around vintage cars – but upgrades it with a selection of grown-up finishes and textures. Bright colours are swapped for darker shades, while higher end textiles and rustic furniture gives a mature, lived-in feel to the room.
How do you make a boy’s room cozy?
Neutrals, blues and greens are popular colors in bedroom ideas for boys but are often thought of as too cool to be cozy. This is not necessarily the case, says Patrick O’Connell, brand ambassador at Farrow & Ball.
‘We want colors that bring tranquillity and calm and to cocoon us whilst we sleep, and blues and greens help us do this. They are fundamentally calming colors, the colors of nature and the outdoors.’
For cozy bedroom ideas, choose warmer tones of blue and green for the walls. While textiles might not be top of a boy’s list for their dream bedroom, bringing in rugs, throws and cushions add tactility to a room – and they’re perfect for building dens too.
What color should a teenage boy’s bedroom wall be?
Above all else, teenage boys will want their room to be a reflection of their personality. ‘The decoration of children’s bedrooms is often the source of considerable angst, with the age-old dilemma of whether to keep to the established color-flow of the rest of the house or to allow the child free rein,’ says Joa Studholme, color curator at Farrow & Ball.
Choosing a neutral color for the walls will make it easier to connect the room to the rest of the house. If opting for white bedroom ideas for boys, allow them to demonstrate their changing tastes through art and furnishings instead. ‘Even if you choose to keep the walls fairly neutral, some extra energy can be added by painting the floor or the ceiling in a playful color,’ adds Studholme.

First of all, the room should be furnished according to age.
Decoration of a boy's room up to 12 years old
Consider a photo of a practical design of a children's bedroom for a boy aged 3 to 11 years.
The photo below shows the interior, where white paint was preferred in the wall decoration. This design looks minimalist and is suitable for small children.
Clouds on the ceiling add zest to the interior in the photo with the racing car. This is an excellent design solution, since blue and other calm shades will have a beneficial effect on the psycho-emotional background of a very active child, calming him down and helping him focus on the lessons.
As for furniture, the children's bedroom set in the form of a sports car will be extremely appropriate for a young racer. The furniture in the room should be colorful, because it is during this period that children actively explore the world, they are interested in bright colors. When choosing furniture, avoid options with sharp corners - boys love to run and frolic, and games often end in injuries. If your child is a fidget, then try to make the space as free as possible. Leave room for mobile activities for active and noisy children.
Tip: Focus on the free space in the room: so the child can spend more time in the room, exercise, do exercises and frolic between lessons.
Children need an abundance of not only space, but also light. Proper lighting gives the furniture and the entire interior of the children's bedroom a final and complete look.
An interesting rug, as in the photo below, will become not only a decorative item, but also a game attribute. It not only decorates the interior, but is used by the child as a race track.
Boys are very fond of comics. Why not use his hobbies in the design?
This design will give the child an impetus for the development of creativity, will allow him to develop as a person with his own interests and preferences.
Tip: Photo wallpapers featuring your favorite characters are a great idea. For information on how to choose wallpaper for a boy's room, read our material.
Teen bedroom decoration
A teenage boy is no longer so interested in cartoons, so wallpapers with funny cartoon characters are not suitable. Teenagers spend more time watching adult movies, they become more interested in sports.
By the beginning of adolescence, a child usually already has a developed taste and an interesting hobby. For a youth bedroom, the design is selected as for an adult, while creative ideas are welcome. These can be bright and unusual accents in decoration, in textile design, in accessories, in an unusual arrangement of furniture.
A teenager with a deep interest in geography, for example, will love a wall with a map of the world.
Slate in combination with pastel shades in the interior looks very stylish and modern.
The boys' teenage bedroom focuses on a spacious, comfortable bed that takes center stage in the room. If the room is small, then the best solution would be to buy a sofa with the functions of a bed.
How to choose a bed for a boy, read our article.
An obligatory part of a high school student's room is a desk.
In a small bedroom, multifunctional options will be appropriate: loft beds, multi-level structures, pull-out and folding beds. Such furniture favorably combines several functional areas at once and makes the room more spacious.
Interior design must unconditionally keep up with the times, and most importantly - with the inner world of the owner of the bedroom. If a young man loves sports, then reflect his passion in photo wallpapers with the image of a famous football player or in decor using sports paraphernalia.
For a bodybuilder (it is at this age that boys begin to take an active interest in the activities of athletes), build a mini-gym. For those who are fond of boxing, a punching bag hanging in the corner and boxing gloves as an element of decor are suitable.

A clear zoning is an obligatory part of the arrangement of a bedroom if there is a significant age difference between its inhabitants.
In this case, it is desirable to delimit the room in whole or in part into two or three parts. Then you can create areas for personal and shared use. For example, a sleeping area with a bunk bed will be a common place, while the play areas will be separate. Common areas can also be a study area and a storage area (the latter option is especially relevant for small rooms).
Choose a bunk bed for furniture with. It will allow you to wisely use the remaining free space.
Summing up, we will formulate general and universal tips that will help make the interior of the boys' bedroom more harmonious:
- Perform competent zoning. This can be done by finishing in different colors or textures, using furniture or decorative elements (screens, etc.).
- Choose the right colors. The traditional blues and blues that are so often used to decorate the boys' bedroom will not always and everywhere look equally good: for example, in rooms on the north side they will seem more gloomy than cozy. Therefore, in such a room, the right decision would be to choose warm and light shades of brown. For too sunny bedrooms, gray or white is suitable.
- Reflect your child's interests and hobbies in decor. For boys under 11 years old, ideas with cartoon characters are popular. In adolescents, interests are shifting towards movie characters. The sports theme is universal. But the very embodiment of the idea in adolescents will look more restrained and grown-up.
