If your little boy is obsessed with football, then a surprise room makeover might be the perfect gift for him. You can decorate your child’s room into a football fantasy world with a little creativity and a few simple design tricks. Follow these easy tips to make your son’s football themed room a reality.
To begin you need to paint the room. There are several ways that you can do this; by his favorite team, or by painting a field. If your child is crazy about a certain football team you can use the team colors to make the look. You may want to paint the bottom half of the wall in a green that looks like turf green. Then paint the upper half in the blue sky. Add some markings like they do on the field and you are ready to put your son in the game.
You can create a look that is more authentic when you have someone paint a picture of your child’s favorite team player. If possible you can paint the look of field goals on each end of the walls or a wall full of fans up in the stadium cheering on their favorite team.
Next, select bedding that your child will enjoy. You could select a solid color or reversible comforter. Many football teams offer customized bedding which would coordinate nicely with the painted walls. Look for coordinating curtains to match the bedding.
Install some shelves to display your son’s trophies and other sports memorabilia. You could even get him started with a new collection of miniature NFL helmets or autographed photos of famous players. Make sure you give his treasures a prominent place for display.
A room would not be complete without a rug. Make sure that you select an area rug that color coordinates with the theme in the room. You can purchase a brown rug, oval or a rug shaped like a football.
You should also look for unique furniture for your child’s room. Some specialty shops sell football shaped chairs or small child sized sofas covered in football fabric. Look for some fun miniature furniture so your child can lounge around with his friends in style. If you can’t find anything that matches you theme, then you should look for some football themed fabric and have small slipcovers made by a professional seamstress.
Finally because it is a football themed room you will need a bin filled with footballs. You can purchase a bunch of footballs and have them stored in one corner of the room. He will love having access to it all the time.
Interior Design has never been so easy with these rugs for boys.
