At first thought, a boys' bedroom might not be the most inviting room in your house. But as our boys' bedroom ideas prove, these spaces can be every bit as stylish and stimulating as the rest of your home. Choose the right themes, colours, materials and furniture, and you can create a room that is fun, inspiring and welcoming too.
We're big fans of experimenting with colour palettes in any children's room idea – and getting our boys on board with picking their favourite shades. Sure, that shade could be blue, but why not consider cool monochromes, energising yellows, oranges, reds and restful neutrals, too? Anything could – and should – go in a boys' bedroom!
From playful places for pre-schoolers to on-trend dens that tweens will be proud to show off to their friends, take a look at these creative and colourful boy room ideas that are super awesome.
Boys' bedroom ideas
1. Create a mountain-scape feature wall with paint

Paint effects are a popular way of adding fun to a boys' bedroom. You literally have a blank canvas to work with so the more adventurous the design the better. We love this zig-zag mountain range with acid yellow snowcaps that also highlights the bed. Crown Colour Consultant Judy Smith explains how it's done; "Work out a design on paper then scale up for the walls, using good masking tape to create crisp lines. Kids' rooms have a license to be fun. Therefore, why not add a bit of playfulness by painting furniture to match or contrast with the walls."
2. Set up a stylish study station

Here's a fun boy's bedroom idea on a budget. You don't need an actual desk to create a dedicated homework area, this clever DIY desk is made using two shelves and matching paint. Mask out a square or rectangle on the wall and fill in the middle with your chosen shade. Once dry mount a matching floating shelf at the bottom and top. Ideal for a teenage boys bedroom idea.
Complete the look with a contrasting notice board, colourful lamp and plenty of stationery supplies. Magnetic strips for toy cars look striking too.
3. Build up an edgy feature wall

Exposed materials look the part in boy's bedroom schemes as the industrial vibe suits adolescent tastes. Don't worry if you don't have a bare brick wall, faux wallpapers and tiles will fake the look easily and is a more sensible choice as it won't have a rough surface that could scrape the skin. This cool grey, boy's bedroom scheme has added texture thanks to the matching faux grey brick feature wall.
4. Invest in an incredible bed

A wow-factor bed will make bedtimes a breeze. From huge bespoke bunk beds that offer hide-away spaces to more classic versions with wheels on the sides or canopies above, a statement kids bed is a striking boy's bedroom idea and will have friends queuing up for sleepovers galore.
5. Introduce a theme with soft-furnishings

There is no doubt your child will go through many hobbies as they grow so keeping their bedroom scheme up-to-date with their interests could get expensive.
Make change easy and affordable by swapping out bedlinen and accessories. Debbie Leigh, Design Manager of ILIV, explains. "Starting with a blank canvas is not only manageable but encourages creativity. Keep it simple by painting the walls a neutral tone and experiment using a selection of colourful bunting and wall art. Adding co-ordinating pillows will liven the room whilst keeping costs at bay, an achievable makeover which can be frequently mixed up."
6. Make it feel like a treehouse

Wouldn't every young child love to live in a treehouse? Create the vibe by using wooden finishes liberally throughout the decorating scheme. A feature wall made using salvaged wood adds a rustic finish which embodies the design aesthetics of a treehouse.
Upcycled pallets is a cheap way to achieve the look or recycling old floorboards for a wall panelling idea. Choose a matching wood stain for the bed to make it feel like its part of the wooden wall, for a more immersive treehouse experience.
Keep the rest of the room simple and pared back, with industrial style furniture and minimal accent colours.
7. Seek smart storage solutions

Use the walls to utilise maximum storage potential for a little one's bedroom. Securely attach attractive baskets to the walls to elevate storage. they out of reach baskets are ideal for everyday essentials, that you wish to keep out of little hands.
By lifting storage you are not taking up valuable floor space – making your space better suited to play.
To match the rustic aesthetic try using smart wicker baskets under the bed for additional storage. Decorate with warming rustic tones of coral to accentuate the natural materials.
8. Decorate with sunny shades

Any colour goes for a child's bedroom, we're no longer confined to the stale notions of blue only for boys. We say the bolder and brighter the better. This vibrant yellow is like filling the room with sunshine, and what more could you ask for in a little one's bedroom.
'All around the world we recognise the power of this joyful shade to conjure hope, positivity and happiness' explains Dulux's Creative Director Marianne Shillingford. 'The energy in this colour buzzes like a bumblebee in a jam-jar, which helps get the creative juices flowing.' Making it perfect for encouraging expanding young minds.
9. Hang wall art at child height

Whether they're a toddler or nine going on 17, hang wall art at the right height. That way, they can enjoy the pictures just as much as you. Floating shelves are also a great way to make a feature of your child's books and make sure they're easy to hand come story time.
String up some decorative fairy light ideas to cast a soft glow over the room as it gets closer to bedtime.
10. Add a bunk bed to create more play space

Whether your children share a bedroom, or frequently have friends to stay, consider investing in bunk beds rather than twin beds. Thanks to its stacked design, a bunk bed takes up a much smaller footprint, so the room will feel more spacious. That means more space for your little ones to have adventures with their toys on the floor, which is essential if you don't enough space in your home for a playroom.
11. Squeeze in extra storage with a cabin bed

Add accessible, extra storage with a smart cabin bed. The under-bed drawers are suitable for children of all ages. A cabin bed is perfect for a room that's short on space and even has an exposed shelf for little ones to pop their books on after story time.
Continue the vibrant colour scheme throughout the bedroom with a rainbow carpet and bright wall art, which should suit your child's tastes until they reach their early teens.
12. Extend the room theme from the walls to the bed

For a cohesive look, extend the wall theme to the bedding, accessories, wall art and rugs. Animal designs, stars and simple shapes in monochrome shades remain a popular unisex choice. All of which should see them through the years, from tiny babies to toddler years and beyond.
Here, a rocking chair with a fluffy cushion is the perfect place to cosy up, as you read your little one a story, or rock them to sleep on your knee.
13. Make a feature out of hexagon shelves

Transform some humble shelves into something a little more special. These hexagon shelves can be arranged in any order to create a feature wall where your child can arrange and display their favourite toys.
The best part about these shelves is that they'll stand the test of time as your little one turns into a teenager. Your child can change the display and colour of the shelves as tastes change, without needing a complete room overhaul.
14. Add character with wall stickers

Wall stickers are an easy and cheap way to let your kid put their stamp on a neutral bedroom – our white bedroom ideas demonstrate more examples of how to do this. Many websites will even offer you the choice of getting the stickers personalised with your child's name, or a motif you've designed yourself.
Though wall stickers can be a little fiddly to put on the wall initially, once they're on they will not budge until you choose to peel them off. Plus, they're designed to disappear without a trace. That's right – no nasty marks you'd otherwise have to paint over.
All this makes wall stickers ideal if you live in a rented house. they're also a smart choice if your child is in that tween-period. One minute they're obsessed with monkeys – next thing you know, they want a Banksy-style design on their wall. Both can be achieved with a simple sticker change.
15. Be bold with accent colour choices

Traditional colours such as blues and reds are a classic option, but don't be afraid of zingy yellows or calming pastel shades if you want something a little different. Dare to be bold by painting bunk beds in a standout colour to make them a cheery focal point. However, if you do decide to brighten up the furniture, it's best to keep your walls and floor low-key and neutral. That way, your feature pieces really sing out.
16. Maximise corners with clever shelving

Make the most of every inch of the room with clever wall shelves. Taking floating shelves into the corners can be the ultimate use of this often-underused space. Use a cluster of simple single ledge shelves – IKEA, Wilko and Argos are great sources of budget options. Position two different sizes sat side-by-side to create a V-shape. Alternatively, if you have matching sizes, cut the edges into a point to match them up in the corner seamlessly.
17. Make it monochrome

A child's bedroom doesn't necessarily need to be super bright– one boy's bedroom idea is to embrace dark and moody hues for a dramatic look that will add depth. This monochrome scheme benefits from plenty of pattern and texture to lift the space, while quirky art adds character and personality to this children's room.
18. Think of a theme to add personality

If you have a young child, it's likely they will be drawn to bright colours that stimulate their senses. Liven up a scheme with a feature wall adorned with wallpaper in a fun print, like this design by Scion. Wall stickers are another great way to liven up a scheme (and are sure to be a hit with the kids).
Take a theme and run with it in a child''s bedroom. This cheery fox motif wallpaper is the starting point for a playful scheme with bold co-ordinating bedlinen, an orange lamp and a cute fox cushion on the bed.
19. Make a small space bright

Keep the look light and airy in a loft bedroom by painting walls white to compensate for the lack of natural light. Go for cheery bedlinen and accessories to keep the look bright and playful, with colourful artwork or vinyl stickers on the walls for decoration.
20. Paint the floor

Create a playful space for your boy by painting stripes on the floorboards in different hues of their favourite colour. Paint them in a graduating range of colours for added effect – you could use colour cards as inspiration.
How can I decorate a boys' small bedroom?
Children don't necessarily need huge bedrooms as their smaller furniture can seem dwarfed by the surroundings. So, if your boys' bedroom is small and cosy the key is to make the most of every inch of space. Rachel homer, interiors writer and mum of two boys suggests. "Choose a storage bed, add plenty of layered, narrow shelving to walls and even the ceiling can be utilised to hang decorative accessories such as aeroplanes, jungle foliage, or planets depending on what they are into".
How should I arrange my boys' bedroom?
When it comes to how you should arrange your boys' bedroom you should first and foremost ensure the room is a sound sleep environment. Because that is the primary purpose. Invest in a comfortable bed, one that will see them through for the years to come, preferably one that can adapt as they grow – so consider extending bed frames or even bunk beds to cater for future sleepovers.

Video Of The Week
Finding a space in your boy's bedroom for peace is a vital element for making them feel safe in their environment. Hang a curtain or canopy around their bed with string LED lights for them to retreat to. Or, add a comfortable chair next to an accessible bookshelf to create a reading nook that will give them a happy place to read, enjoy quiet play and have downtime to themselves.
