Design A Boy'S Baseball Bedroom

A baseball room can be lots of fun to design.


A boy that loves baseball may want a baseball-themed bedroom. Design a room with a broader baseball scope if a young boy is just learning the game. Alternately, an older boy who has been interested in baseball for more time is likely to have more specific interests, so use a favorite team or player to play a bigger role in the design.


Instructions


1. Choose a consistent color scheme. If the room is going to focus on a specific team, consider using two or three colors from the team uniforms. Therefore, if there is other team-specific memorabilia, it will match the walls.


2. Stick to a theme. Home decorating stores have matching sets with baseballs and bats on items, such as quilts, throw pillows, lampshades and dressers, which make it easier to make your room match.








3. Find a personal touch for the room. If you want a framed picture for the top of the dresser, a little league team picture makes more sense than a picture taken while sled-riding. Other personal items, such as a framed autographed addressed to the boy or a picture taken with a beloved athlete, work well.








4. Keep the room simple if there is one important piece of memorabilia. For example, a framed and autographed Derek Jeter jersey may end up less noticeable it is sandwiched between multiple New York Yankees posters.


5. Utilize open shelving for rooms with a lot of memorabilia. Organize the memorabilia from shelf to shelf, such as placing baseball cards on one shelf and placing a collection of team hats on another.


6. Purchase well-built storage containers that are spacious and easy to clean. Bats, balls and gloves are likely to come into the room dirty, so select storage that can fit all the items and can be easily wiped down when used.
