A toddler's bedroom should feel like his space.
Although they are only just learning to speak, toddlers have already developed strong, individual personalities. A toddler's bedroom should reflect his personality and give him a comfortable place to sleep and play. Designing a room to reflect your toddler boy's outlook will help him feel like the room is his and encourage him to develop and explore his own interests.
Instructions
1. Choose a theme that corresponds to your toddler's interests. Toddler boys may like cars and trucks, airplanes, sports, the beach, medieval knights or even traditionally "girlish" themes like dolls and tea parties. Speak to your toddler and find out how he wants his room decorated.
2. Paint or wallpaper the walls to reflect the theme you choose. If your toddler likes sports, paint the walls with the colors of a favorite sports team. If he's more interested in different vehicles, use cars and trucks or airplane wallpaper. You can also paint the walls blue to reflect the sky. If you feel ambitious, paint a mural that reflects your toddler's particular theme.
3. Hang decorations with the chosen theme. Once you have painted or wallpapered, select a few posters that reflect your toddler's interest. You might also build models together and hang them from the ceiling to create a more elaborate decorative scheme.
4. Buy sheets and blankets with the chosen theme. There are blankets available for kids with almost any conceivable toddler theme. You can also diverge from the room's main theme and choose sheets or blankets featuring superheroes or another alternate theme.
5. Decorate the furniture. Boysthemebedrooms.com recommends placing palm thatch awnings over the windows then decorating the bedroom and furniture following a surfer theme. You might also find lamps and nightlights with the chosen theme and paint the furniture to highlight the lighting fixtures.
6. Add play spaces for your toddler. Build forts, airplanes, houses or race cars out of cardboard boxes for your child to play make believe games in his new room.
