Your baby boy is your soul and the baby boy room is his playground. Providing him with the best environment to live and develop should be your major concern, as his parents. But how could you manage to do that? That’s where home customization gets into the picture. With a room specially designed for your young lad, it becomes easy for him to cheer and experience the most beautiful moments of his life with utmost care. Let’s arrange a room for the young baby boy you love the most!

Making things Lighter and Easier
Try to install some lightweight furniture and articles in his room. The reason is his safety and comfort. Place the wooden bed in the middle of the room, slightly near the window (not too close). Use light-weight cushions on the bed. This would prevent your baby from getting injured while playing with them. Also try to use curtains, that are bright in colour and porous in nature.
Besides providing a good amount of light in the room it would also impart a chunk of positive feeling in your baby’s mind and heart. You can also add some small drawers and baskets in the room. This would instill in him the habit of being organized in the coming future.
Bright Wall Paints for Your Bright Child
During childhood, a boy tends to absorb much more of his surroundings, especially when he is not able to speak clearly. Keeping this in mind, the paints on the walls must be applied with bright and light compositions.
Using multiple colours can also be a good idea if you want to make your boy an adventure-loving guy in the future. Avoid using very aggressive compositions like black and red as it tends to destabilize the peace of mind of your child.
Using Things for His Happiness
Installing soft toys with funny faces and familiar cartoon characters on the bed, near the corners and at the sitting place not only enhances the room’s outlook but also provides companionship to the boy. Try to use low-height shelves for keeping the objects that are liked by the young lad. Do not forget to make sure that the furniture that you are using is safe enough.
Paintings and photographs of ‘laughing children’ may also be used to fill up the gap in his room. Wall stickers having happy faces and kiddish designs are also in trend these days.
Themes Especially For his development
If you are OK with the budget then you can also land your beloved child in the fantasy world of his own. Before installing a theme in his room, try to understand his taste and preferences (and that his parents could do very well). Like, if you find your child to be more neutral and nature-loving, you could install a nature theme with light green compositions of different shades.
On the other hand, if he likes to swing his arms like a Spiderman or Batman that means he’s aggressive and fond of adventures. You can satisfy his desires by installing some adventurous themes, like Pirates or Superheroes in that case. But you must be careful in understanding the needs of your baby boy as it involves a high expenditure.
Other Unique Ideas for Kids Room Decor
It is only a matter of time before your children grow older and eventually move out and away for university, or start working and begin the next chapter in their lives. However, for about 18 years, they have had the luxury of living under your roof. Give them the bedroom they deserve with these unique ideas for kids’ room decor.
Organization
This isn’t a word that children use often. This is a way to trick them into keeping their toys off the floor when they’re not using them. If you have young kids make sure to keep everything at their height so you won’t be summoned to their room every time they want to play with Barbie. Cool storage blocks, benches, and even colourful shelving can help restore order to a kid’s bedroom.
For older kids who have replaced their toys with YA novels and gaming equipment, you can move the shelving off the ground and create fun wall storage for their stuff.
Art
Your child might be into trains now but in six months who knows what they’ll love? Kids change their likes and loves in a heartbeat. To combat a temper tantrum when they don’t want to look at trains anymore, try removable wall transfers. Like temporary tattoos or hair dye, these transfers can be removed without damaging the walls of your kid’s bedroom.
Another option is painting one wall white and allowing your child to create their art with washable markers. You can also use chalkboard paint to give your kid space to draw whatever they want. As children grow, so do their interests. Avoid permanence with wall decor you can easily change.
Furniture
You probably don’t want your child to do their homework in front of the TV. When choosing a desk to house their computer and other homework-doing necessities, try one that takes up the least amount of space possible. You can find desks that can be bolted to the wall and folded up when not in use or ones that have storage compartments. If possible, place the desk near a window to give your child enough natural light when they’re doing their homework or pretending to while they chat with their friends.
For younger kids, you want the furniture to be functional but also playful. Bunk beds offer a fun touch to any kid’s room; but stay away from racecar, princess or any themed beds. Your child will grow out of it sooner than you think.
Lighting
Unlock your child’s imagination at night with inspired lighting choices. Purchase glow-in-the-dark shapes to hang over their bed. You can even add glow-in-the-dark paint to areas of the room to act as a nightlight. Older children may not require a nightlight but you can still use glow-in-the-dark paint in lesser-lit areas like their closet.
During the day the key is to let in as much natural light as possible. Energy-efficient curtains in light fabrics and colours allow light in and keep harmful UV rays out. Also installing the best windows and doors in the room will aid the increase of natural lighting in the room. Besides overall lighting, a small reading light should be present next to your kid’s bed.
Give your child a room that’s as unique as they are. Decor doesn’t have to be difficult. All you need is a little imagination!
