Baseball is a sport which most little boys enjoy. Hitting a ball with a bat and watching it go far and running all those bases is great exercise, so why not make that their theme in their bedroom? Yes, you can in fact make a great baseball theme room for your child no matter their age, toddler to teen. There are just a few rules which you need to make this room a great entertainment area for their friends.
Build a simple dug out by fastening together three pieces of plywood and attaching to the wall. Paint with home team colors and slide the bed inside the dug out. This disguises the bed so that it does not detract from the theme of the room. It also adds a personal touch that will relax your child and increase their enjoyment of the room.
Paint is another easy technique unless you want to be technical and add art. You can paint one wall as if it’s the stadium with little people. If you aren’t artistic try finding a wall sticker which gives you this wonderful feeling. Next you’ll need a scoreboard. Try to find the chalkboard paint which is wonderful so your child can change the scores as if he’s in charge of the game. And of course you’ll need to make an outfield scene. It can be easy and inexpensive if you’re able to find the wall stickers to help you with the artistic design.
Now with a wonderful baseball themed room you can’t forget home plate. Instead of placing a painting on the floor try a great white area rug. This will be an awesome addition along with a great warm feeling when you enter. If you’re able to find an area rug which is actually shaped into a home run plate that is even better.
Of course you do not want your child playing ball in the house with a real ball and bat, as an accessory get a soft set that will not do damage to your walls or windows. If your child is small you may want to invest in a tee ball stand as well. These will double as accessories and toys, because they will match your theme and be useful. You could use the whole room as a birthday or Christmas surprise and invite a couple of friends for a sleepover. Your child and his or her guests will be amazed.
This is a great design for a baseball lover but if you aren’t too artistic in the painting department it may cost a pretty penny. You might have to hire someone to paint the walls which won’t be too cheap. So why not make this a great birthday present or even Christmas present for your little guy? He’ll always remember that holiday for the rest of his life.

A great way to start out a room for a football fan is to paint it. Now you should pick the colors of the team your child loves best. It’s a very easy project in fact most stores that sell paint will be able to help you pick out just the right colors for this job. But if your child doesn’t have a team but just loves the game try something different. Paint the bottom part of the walls in a green color that looks like turf. The top of the wall you can add a nice blue for sky, and if you want to expand on the look add in a few clouds also.
If your child does have a player who they think the world of you can get a life sized poster and frame it. Place it on the wall, or even hire a professional painter to paint the player onto the field. Don’t forget you can add so much more to the look of the field by placing up goal posts, and people sitting in a stadium.
Buy a comforter that is the colors of a team or a football theme. This shouldn’t be hard to find and is just another way to make the theme complete and perfect.
