Baby Room Decorating Ideas for Boys: Race Cars and Airplane Themes
-Race Cars Theme Nursery
Toy Cars are always synonymous to boys, yup even to big boys! And what better way to celebrate that bond between cars and boys than by having a race-themed nursery for your son. Of all the baby room decorating ideas for boys, I think this is my favorite. Not only the race car theme is so easy to pull off, you don’t have to update the room much when your son grows into an active toddler. The room can be as simple or as detailed as you want it to be and of course that would depend on your budget and the amount of time and work you are willing to put on it.
Another thing I love about the race car theme is the flexibility it gives me. The color options are limitless. You can paint the nursery based on your favorite race car driver’s car or perhaps your favorite color. If you don’t exactly know what you want for now then try to look for baby room decorating ideas for boys with race car theme on the internet. You can choose two colors and where they both meet, you can put a wallpaper border with racetrack pattern. If you want you can even put car-shaped magnets around the border to add more fun.
Use craft paints to add murals of roads, race tracks, traffic lights and street signs but if you don’t have the liberty of time to do this, you can just purchase giant wall decals. If you want to go all out with the whole race car theme nursery, you can buy bedspreads, sheets, crib bumper, curtains and area rugs with race car designs. Search for decorating baby room ideas for boys with race car theme on the internet to give you an idea what to look for in stores.
-Airplane Theme Nursery
Airplanes make an exciting nursery theme that will grow with your child from birth through his toddler years. When looking at baby room decorating ideas for boys, it’s important for parents to look at the practical side of things. You want a theme that will evolve with your child because we all know how expensive it is to update a room.
Instead of doing the usual white walls with airplane border why not jazz it up a bit by painting the walls with a shade of blue that resembles the sky on a sunny day then add some clouds. To do this, you can use a rag, sponge or a paintbrush. I find that the sponge works best for this task especially if you don’t have steady hands. Just lightly dab on white paint in the shape of clouds. You can use a stencil if you’re so scared of not doing it right.
To complete the look, you can go for bedding sets, wall decals, murals, closet handles, lamps, ceiling sculptures, musical mobiles and laundry hampers that come in airplane designs.
