Warm paint color can deliver a log-cabin feel to your boy's bedroom.
"Rustic living is more than rustic interior design," according to The Rustic Lodge Lifestyle. "It's a state of mind." You can bring the feeling of country, log-cabin living to your boy's bedroom with unfinished wood furniture, wood flooring and exposed beams, as well as window coverings, throw rugs and bedding made of natural fibers. Paint colors should be warm tones, such as earthy reds, browns and greens.
Red
Reds informed with brown can add warmth and stability to a boy's bedroom.
Certainly, swathing the walls of a boy's bedroom in scarlet is not desirable. Bright red is too energetic, even provocative, according to Precision Intermedia. Brown, on the other hand, represents stability and comfort, according to the Rolling River color symbolism chart. Red colors tinged with brown, then, such as sienna, burnt red or brick can add a desirable level of warmth and comfort to a boy's bedroom. You do not even have to paint all the walls with the same color. Cream or beige or unpainted wood walls with an accent wall of dogwood, for example, can add just the right note of homeyness to the space.
Brown
Brown is an obvious paint color choice for a rustic boy's bedroom, as brown is the color of logs, most wood flooring and, of course, the earth itself. As brown bestows a sense of stability and permanence, according to , it can be an ideal color for a child's sleeping space. Consider beige walls with taupe accents to complement exposed beams and unvarnished wood floors. Or go further, painting three walls bisque and an accent wall chocolate to frame a child's bed of mahogany. Rustic throw rugs in a red-green-brown print can finish the design.
Green
Shades of green can bring a sense of nature to your boy's bedroom.
Green, according to Precision Intermedia, denotes calm, peace and harmony. It is also the color of foliage and will serve as a natural complement to the earth tones in your decor. Try using pale green on your child's bedroom walls, then stenciling in forest-green rustic designs to include your boy's favorite animals, objects or scenery. Another option is to have an artist create a nature-themed design, according to your child's preferences. A lake or stream setting with lifelike trees and foliage might be fitting, or perhaps a nighttime scene, including fir trees, moon and stars against forest-green walls would suit him. Maybe a wall painting that depicts fishing or hunting would strike his fancy. Be sure to have your boy contribute his ideas to the design selection process.
