Decorating ideas for a boy's bedroom

We can't do ideas for a girl's bedroom without looking at ideas for a little boy as well. Even little guys like to have some style in their room... a theme or colourful setting where they can spend time playing with cars, action figures or building with Lego.

 

 

 

 

This casual boy's bedroom definitely has plenty of storage space with its spacesaver pullout bed. Made of SupaWood and painted with a distressed finish, this is just the look for a country boy.

- Make your own furniture using 16mm SupaWood. A standard single bed accepts a mattress size of 910 x 1880mm and you can use these dimension to build a bed frame with headboard and footboard, and allow for a trundle bed.

- If you don't want to make all the storage units by yourself, purchase affordable pine sets and paint these to match the bed.

- Buy framed canvas and let your kids make their own art for the room.

 

 

 

Ready for battle or bed, this camouflage room setting is perfect for any little guy who loves camping or adventures in the wild outdoors.

- A basic frame bed made of 16mm SupaWood is wrapped with camo-green fabric that is stapled to the frame and out of sight. You can buy SupaWood at your local Builders Warehouse and have this cut to the sizes you need.

- Our basic upholstered storage ottoman, covered in a durable cotton or linen, is big enough to storage toys and games and can be made to fit any bed size.

- Hang up a simple net canopy to keep the mozzies at bay during the night.
