Are you looking for some cool boys' bedroom ideas for your little ones? A kid's bedroom is one of the most important spaces in a home. It’s where they sleep, where their imagination goes wild, and a safe space that’s meant to only be theirs. Needless to say, when it comes to decorating ideas for boys' bedrooms, there is plenty to go around! So, if you need help conjuring up ideas on where your little one can play, dream, and do their homework, continue reading on to learn more about boy bedroom ideas here!
Bed Ideas For Boys Bedroom
A kids’s bed should be the focal point of their bedroom, so why not have some fun with it? In fact, when it comes to awesome boy bedroom ideas, you can count on the bed to be front and centre. You don’t have to go with anything traditional; instead, why not get creative? Here are some ideas that we know you’re going to love!
Race to Sleep in Car Bed
The racecar bed is the pinnacle of every boy's room decor. It’s a fun alternative bound to cause some envy in the classroom. Plus, with this unique bed shape, it easily stands out in the room thanks to its unique statement. You can count on your little racer dreaming about winning the big tournament with our MRX Black Car Bed!
Aim High With Fun Bunkbed
Who doesn’t love a good bunk bed? This is a staple for boys' bedroom decor ideas, and it’s especially perfect if you’re accommodating two. Besides, thanks to the stacked design that fun bunk beds offer, this means that the footprint is a lot smaller, meaning that the room is far more spacious - a great option for small rooms. This is perfect as it means your little one can have more big adventures in their room! Plus, the bunkbeds don’t have to look boring either, thanks to our Fire Truck bunk bed, or for the older kids, our Leo Bunk Beds are a practical, timeless option.
Play By Day, Sleep By Night - Double Use Bed
Double beds are perfect for those small nurseries. A bed, often enough, takes up most of approximately 30% of the bedroom. So instead, why not get your little one a multifunctional bed? When it comes to a kid's room or a teenage boy's room, spacing limits need to be considered. As boys turn into teenagers, they’re going to need more things, from clothes to a larger bed.
But you can’t neglect those items that truly make this their space, such as their books, gaming setup, posters, and whatever hobbies they’re invested in. It can sound pretty challenging getting everything to fit into one space, but multi-functional furniture it’s going to be the perfect solution to all of this! This way, you’re cutting down on the footprint that the furniture brings, but they’re getting all of their needs met within their room at the same time.
A great example of a double-use bed would be our Gaming Beds range On average, boys spend about two to three hours each day playing video games. This is a passion that’s getting bigger, and oftentimes still continues throughout adulthood. So having a bed that doubles up as a desk cuts down on spacing and boosts aesthetics thanks to the lack of clutter. But no gaming station is complete without the perfect gaming chair!
Add a Canvas Tipi
Why not turn that boy's room into a glampsite? When it comes to any kid's bedroom, this is hands-down something that any child could fall in love with! Just think about it; every day is fun to camp in style! Plus, if you want to do any DIYs in your son’s room, then creating a glampsite with our Tipi Bed Tent would be optimal. You can even continue the theme by adding shades of green, taupe, and blue for that earthy feeling.
Underbed Trundles for Sleepovers
If you want to raise a social butterfly, then you need to accommodate their guests in advance. This one is crucial for boys' bedroom ideas too. A pull-out trundle bed is perfect for any guest and it can easily be pushed back into the bed to save on floor space. Plus, this bedframe is timeless and can grow with them as they age.
Use Beds with Built-in Storage for Small Rooms
How do you set up a small boy's bedroom? Well, it’s all about space planning and choosing furniture that works with the floor space, not against it. When thinking about storage, try going with the multifunctional theme. Why not consider built-in storage for your beds? These are perfect for being tucked into the smallest of rooms while still meeting their needs. Plus, our Mid-Sleeper Beds or Loft Beds are perfect as they come with shelves that can be placed right in the bed. This is ideal for bedtime stories!
Use Storage That’s Fun
Are you wondering what boys need in their room? Better yet, what should all kids have in their rooms? Well, no matter the age, there needs to be some storage. But storage doesn’t need to look grown up and boring; instead, why not choose something that has some pizazz? When it comes to boy bedroom ideas, especially for a nursery, you’re going to want to spark creativity in every corner of the space. So what better way than with storage?
They need a space to place their toys, books, clothes, and school supplies anyway. Our Monza Petrol Pump Wardrobe is perfect if you’re building a car-themed bedroom for the little guy. You can even pair it up with the Monza Red Low Cabinet to truly fuel adventurous for your little race car driver!
Opt for Open Storage - Easier for them to Clean
Rather than going with closed storage furniture such as wardrobes, why not try something a little more open? When it comes to decorating a boy’s bedroom with budget-friendly ideas, having open storage can be a fantastic solution! Just think about it, from bookshelves to floating shelves, this gives a chance to combine the functionality of creating a clutter-free space with the aesthetics that décor brings to open storage.
Open storage pairs up beautifully with an accent wall, especially a mural or funky wallpaper. You can help them develop fun designs with their LEGO blocks and other toys for display. It’s easier to clean, and it makes the room look marvellous!
Where Is Homework and Study Done
Need decor ideas? Not a problem; just think about the functionality of the room! You don’t need to be an interior designer to know the needs of your boy’s bedroom. While the bed and storage solutions are two very important components of a boy’s bedroom, you must remember that a workspace is needed. Your little one will eventually get homework, but they’ll need a space where they can allow their creativity to come out. A children’s desk is going to be the perfect option for this, they come in different colours, and you can even go the gender-neutral route too.
Combine Pale Walls with Colourful Toys
“What are some colour schemes that work well in a boy's bedroom?” This is a major question you need to ask yourself. The colour palette needs to perfectly accommodate your child's taste and the theme of the bedroom, but you also need to keep in mind that colour psychology also has an impact. There isn’t anything wrong with white walls; they’re crisp and clean, and their neutral backdrop is perfect.
But if you’re going with this simplistic option, you still need to keep the colour scheme in mind for the space. Using textiles such as rugs, curtains, and bedding can be fabulous for adding that additional colour. When it comes to boy bedroom ideas, colours like lime green, various shades of blues, dashes of reds, and sunny oranges are excellent for making the space feel lively.
Clever Use of Materials - Child Can Grow with the Room
One thing that matters most is ensuring that your child can grow with the room. Remember, your son will grow up fast, so you’ll need furniture and decor that can accommodate their growth. You’re going to want to be fairly selective with the materials you choose, so make sure not to get something too trendy, or your child will quickly grow out of it within a year or two. A great example would be rugs for children, these add a soft texture to the room, a small pop of colour, and you can count on this rug suiting your boy’s room for so many years.
Think Multi-Use Furniture
if you’re wondering, “how can I make my son's bedroom a cosy and comfortable space?” then the first thing you need to consider is space planning and the layout. Instead of getting multiple pieces of furniture to fit into this small space, why not look into multi-use furniture? Think of beds with desks attached and loft beds that can fit a bean bag chair or play area underneath. This helps minimise the footprint, so there’s more room for having fun.
Timeless Furniture that will not Age
Wanting to create a space that can easily transition for the teenage years? Why not go with furniture a little more timeless? Choosing timeless designs like our Pino sofas, allows for the space to be filled with character while still feeling sophisticated at the same time. Those soft organic shapes, neutral tones, and hints of personality are perfect for making the room look more grown-up.
Fire Up Imagination With A Theme
How can you make a room look cool for boys? Well, it’s all about the theme that you choose for your little adventurer's room. Plus, creating a theme for the bedroom can be pretty easy, too. It’s really all about getting complementary wall art, using cohesive colours, and maybe even some matching toys. Why not rev up your engine for this Fire Truck Bed Cover? Let’s take a look at some other fun bedroom theme examples for boys' bedrooms.
Celebrate Their Hobbies with The Room
Since this is their space, they should be able to thrive in it. This can include capturing their interests and hobbies in their room. This can be done in numerous ways, and it can all be on a budget too! For instance, if your little one loves sports, such as football, then you can hang up artwork featuring that, as it’s a nice nod to what they like. Allowing for these features shows that this is their space and they can truly be themselves in this room
Lego Theme Bedroom Ideas
Every child needs creativity, and having the right space for this will allow for an enriching experience. They need the space and time to explore, and Legos are known for being a mess-free way to let a child’s creativity flourish. They’re fun, colourful, and pretty easy to clean up too. A lego bedroom could be the perfect way to get those fun pops of colour in, while still sticking true to your child’s taste.
There are more than enough boys' lego bedroom ideas out there if you’re looking into creating a lego themed room. While there are intricate lego kits out there that many use as lego decor that is pricey, you can still count on your standard lego blocks (without the kits) to be fairly inexpensive. Plus, this allows your little one to let their inner creativity flourish.
Super Hero Theme
What’s there not to like about superheroes? Superheros are brave, they’re confident, and so many kids want to be one. Plus, they’re the perfect influence for a child’s development too. There are so many different superheroes out there from DC, Marvel, and so many others outside of these. You can count on finding a wide array of superhero art, bedroom accessories, toys, bedroom-themed furniture, and so much more!
Create a Creative Corner
Why not make the most of every inch by fueling your child’s interests? A creative corner can be one of the best ways to utilise underused space. For your creative boy, you can take it up a notch with our JCB Table and Chair, which is perfect for any automotive-themed bedroom. Needless to say, having a desk and chair is a must-have for any boy’s space. The bedroom isn’t only about sleeping but also about allowing yourself to come out of your shell and being your true self. A creative corner is going to help kindle this flame.
Boys' Bedroom Ideas for Small Rooms
Dealing with a small space? No worries! Some of the best boys' bedroom ideas are born from tight quarters. Think vertically with loft or high-sleeper beds to free up floor space for desks or storage, and choose light, bright wall colors to make the room feel airy—adding bold personality through colorful accents like bedding and wall art. Opt for multifunctional furniture, like beds with built-in drawers or desks with shelves, and make use of corners and walls with floating shelves, hooks, or pegboards to keep things organized. Most importantly, let your child’s interests shine through in the decor, proving that even the smallest spaces can spark big imagination.
How Do You Make A Boy’s Room Cosy?
One thing that’s going to make a boy’s room look and feel cosy would be natural light. What are some lighting options that work well in a boy's bedroom? Light fixtures are going to be the best way to help create that cosy feeling and help set the atmosphere in the room. If you really want to have some fun, you could even get smart lightbulbs; these are excellent for changing the brightness and colour within the space. Plus, this could make for a nice nightlight too.
But don’t forget about natural lighting; this is crucial. You need to make sure there is enough sunlight getting into the room. While your little one will need curtains or blinds to block outside light at night, these window treatments shouldn’t block out the sun during the daytime. What are some other boy bedroom ideas that create cosiness? Well, you’re going to want to think about the furniture. Make sure to choose furniture that offers muted tones, soft textures from mini ottomans and cushioning, as well as curved lines.
What Colour Should A Teenage Boy’s Bedroom Be?
While it’s all going to depend on the colours that your teenage boy prefers, when it comes to bedroom ideas and inspiration, you can never go wrong with whites, blues, and greys. These tend to be a major favourite, and all three of these colours pair up nicely too.
What Colours are Calming for Kids?
While the bedroom is meant for playing and little imaginations go wild, it’s also a space meant for relaxation and sleeping. So make sure to choose some colours that don’t stimulate the mind, ideally mellow colours such as neutrals. However, having pops of colour is wonderful, and it adds a lot of personality to the space. So make sure to get in some colours such as orange, pink, yellow, blue, and green. This also helps the brain with relaxation.
