Reach for the stars
If you’re starting with a blank canvas and have no idea how to decorate a boy’s bedroom, let this be your inspiration. Whitney from Creating Home With Whit took an average bedroom to the next level when she created this beautiful space for her son, Corbin.
Take the full tour of the room here.
The classic (which is anything but boring)
As Gina’s eldest son Patrick grew, she knew his dinosaur bedroom needed to grow with him. She shows us how she created a classic bedroom he continues to love, with pops of colour, fun decor and a big boy desk thrown in as he approaches schooling age. Check it out here.
Jungle joy
Obsessed! That’s the word that springs to mind when we first saw this room The Designory created at The Bay Villa.
If you want to replicate everything in this space, you wouldn’t be the first. We saw Luke and Jasmin land in hot water on The Block when they took a little too much inspiration from the space 😉
Minimalist-meets-industrial
As your kids grow, their bedroom needs to move with them. We love how this twin tween room is versatile enough for them to spread out and hang with friends, but also practical enough to include desks, storage and a workspace. The peg board is a fab idea to create interest while still being practical and keeping things tidy.
FACT: Bunk beds make everything more fun
With olive green walls and an earthy palette, this boys’ bedroom ticks all the right boxes. Firstly, bunk beds. Enough said! Add to that the cool decor, like lighting bolt neon light, and reading nook and we’re sure any kid would love to call this space home.
We’re also big fans of the oversized pinboard and all the storage space squeezed into this room. Both of those could be fab DIY projects too 😉
Interstellar mission
This is a room that will stand the test of time. It’s fun enough for a little dude, but still mature enough to grow with your child into their teen years. We love the colours in the bedding and fun wall sconces. Check out the full room reveal from Daniel and Jade’s time on The Block.
A cool rug solves (almost) everything
Ignoring the fact that this is a bed with wheels (so cool!!) this rug is everything! A funky rug can take a simple space to the next level. It’s one of our best tips on how to decorate a boy’s bedroom, adding a touch of whimsy and stacks of character.
Boho vibes
Aaaaand chill… is it just us, or does this room feel super relaxing!? The rattan bedside table and bed frame are so on trend, and the half-height wall panelling adds interest without dating the room.
The mix of warm-toned bedding brings a subtle pop of colour, and cute additions to the wall can be swapped out as your little man’s interests change and grow.
For all the little book worms
To encourage a love of books and reading, why not make them the hero of their bedroom? This fun bedroom uses 8 bookshelves stacked side-by-side in two rows to cover the width of the room and have all the little one’s favourite books within easy reach.
Colour me happy
We may not all have the space for epic built-in beds like these ones from Three Birds Renovations, but what we love about this teen boy’s bedroom is the coloured roof.
The rest of the room is simply decorated with beautiful cool whites, accents of wood and rattan. And instead of a feature wall, those clever Three Birds have done a feature roof and it just pops! What a feature!
Light up their world
It’s the little things that make all the difference when it comes to how to decorate a boys bedroom. This eclectic bedroom is a fun mix of clashing prints and colours, and a mix of new and old!
For the miniature world traveller
Inspire your young man to dream big and travel the world with inspiration from this fabulous boy’s bedroom set up. A giant map of the world adorns one entire wall, bringing fun and colour into the space. Your little one will be learning about all corners of the globe in no time!
