Once you’ve bought your young son some rugged wood bedroom furniture like a wooden beds or wood night stands then you have to decide on decorating them that will keep them happy and entertained. There are so many great and unique decorating themes for any boy’s room. Be sure when deciding on a theme that it is something that can grow with him for the next several years. The following themes can be adapted to ages ranging from two to ten. Any of these unique decorating ideas will help get you started on creating a fun and engaging decor for any little boy’s room.

The Firehouse Bedroom

If your little boy is enamored with firefighters, then a firehouse theme would be perfect for his room. The walls can be decorated with any number of firefighter wallpaper borders that are available. Or for those who are able to draw or paint, consider creating a firefighter scene or a fire truck on one of the walls. There are a wide variety of accessories you can choose from to increase the fun. Try adding a fireman’s hat, a hose hanging on the wall, a fireman’s pole, and fire truck bedding. If you are feeling particularly brave, you might even give your boy a siren for his room.

The Bedroom from Outer Space

An outer space theme is the perfect choice for any little boy interested in aliens or the night sky. Walls can be decorate using outer-space and star wallpaper borders and even star and planet decals. If you’re able to, you should be able to find spaceship or planet templates that you can trace and paint on the walls.

To really make the room look cool, paint the ceiling black and then use glow-in-the-dark paint to add stars and planets to the ceiling. Toss in a couple of Martian stuffed animals, and your little boy will be happily slumbering deep in outer space.

Pirate Themes for Bedrooms

Depending on the age of your little boy, for a pirate theme you can use movies such as Peter Pan and Pirates of the Caribbean as a reference. You can start by painting the walls blue to represent the ocean. If you’re really ambitious, you might paint a pirate ship on one of the walls or an island, complete with an overflowing treasure chest on the shore. With accessories such as nets, portholes, treasure boxes with booty, and a couple of pirate hats, your boy will be ready to hit the South Seas.

A Favorite Animal Theme

Does your little boy prefer monkeys or lizards? Consider decorating his room with his favorite animals. This is a broad theme that can be customized to fit your little boy’s preferences. For those boys with pets, the theme of the room can be built around that pet, complete with a special place for the pet to live. Remember, though, that if your boy is old enough, to take his interests into consideration and not just choose any animal theme for his room.
