He rarely as strong opinions on anything, so the fact that he did on this - I really wanted to respect it.<br /> So I have done the bulk of the room in gray (furniture and wall hanging)), navy (rug and wall hanging) and white/ivory (border of the rug, hamper and baskets and pouf, walls - we rent so painting isn't really an option).<br /> Then I got some sports themed items that are still pretty neutral. For example, I got a huge triptych painting that's navy, white and gray and looks like a scoreboard with our last name as the stadium name and his birth stats as the score.<br /> I also got these ball holder things for one wall - then I got "old" looking football, basketball and baseball.<br /> I started with solid sheets (navy and gray) but since then I've found a couple of really cute sports sheets that aren't cartoonish (white with navy sports sketches). </p> <p>So I started with a pretty basic and neutral backdrop (rug and furniture) and just added a few sports things. So it's not a sports exposion, but there's a slight theme. I think it will grow well with him, I can easily change bedding and undo the sports them if he really Isnr into it when he is older. I'll look for pics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673867 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 14:37:17 +0000 fancyfunction 2673867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a loose "theme" of bright colors with transportation art/decor. </p> [attach=3567/17/oj9t65.600x450.image.jpg] [attach=3567/17/oj9t66.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673857 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 14:28:21 +0000 kiddosc 2673857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did dinosaurs in primary colors. This is a terrible progress picture, but it's a vague idea or what the room looks like. Lots of cute printables from Etsy. </p> [attach=1439/17/oj9sr9.600x450.20151227_195950.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673807 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 13:31:02 +0000 jape14 2673807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: dark colors can be intimidating, but so perfect for sleeping! his room is like a cave. </p> <p>@looch: haha thanks! in full disclosure, that was during our newborn pictures so we weren't really even using the room yet. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673796 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 13:06:20 +0000 Alba4 2673796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woodland creatures and animals for my 2 boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673750 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 11:46:38 +0000 looch 2673750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jape14: No room in my house ever looked good enough to photograph, nicely done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673741 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 11:38:38 +0000 bubblegum 2673741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: Aww that sounds awesome!

I can't seem to find anything I really like. The furniture is black and I know I'll have blue in there somehow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673737 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 11:34:32 +0000 looch 2673737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bubblegum: Do you already have the furniture and bedding? I had the furniture minus the bed, so I just focused on the bed and bedding. I also wasn't working from a nursery, so I had a clean slate in terms of décor on the walls.</p> <p>I suggest picking the bedding, and then going off that. It is a lot easier to pick a paint color from the bedding than to pick bedding that coordinates with a paint color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673728 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 11:21:38 +0000 jape14 2673728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did a nautical theme for DS, but nothing too cutesy. I'm planning to keep it for his big boy room -- just changing out some of the furniture.</p> <p>ETA: a few more pictures in this thread: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-14-nurseries/page/5#post-1778421" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/august-14-nurseries/page/5#post-1778421</a></p> <p>[attach=896/17/oj9k42.600x400.BabyJack-0018-copy.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=896/17/oj9k43.400x600.1-BabyJack-0001.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=896/17/oj9k44.400x600.1-BabyJack-0005.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=896/17/oj9k45.400x600.BabyJack-0019-copy.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673726 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 11:20:26 +0000 MrsA 2673726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't really done themes so much as colors. DD and DS will be sharing a room eventually so that factored in as well. I did gray walls, and then white birch tree decals. On DS's future side of the room I did navy blue bird decals, and DD's side has pink birds and purple butterflies at her request. It looks pretty cute I think!<br /> Birch tree decals were all from Etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673718 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 11:06:44 +0000 honeybear 2673718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son's room didn't start out with a theme, but it is evolving into a hangar. He has got airplanes on the walls (he received a poster that I framed and has some other airplane related pictures) and ceiling (we're in the process of hanging up some of the models he built with my husband). </p> <p>I guess Legos all over the floor is the secondary "theme" in there, although I usually classify that as more of a "hazard"... :silly: </p> <p>He's 6. I imagine that he'll be okay with the airplane stuff for a while because none of it is childish. I wanted furniture that would last for decades and that could have life beyond a child's room, so I got him a basic full-sized platform bed and gave him an old cabinet for putting toys in and a plain bookshelf for some of his books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673715 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 11:03:54 +0000 bubblegum 2673715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: That all sounds adorable though. That's the direction I want to go. I want a room he can grow with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673709 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 10:55:19 +0000 looch 2673709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I decorated my son's big boy room when he was about 2.5 when we moved into our current house. I wanted to do a nautical theme but I never really finished it, almost 4 years later.</p> <p>The walls are pale blue, white trim, dark hardwood floors. I have a navy rug on the floor, it's interwoven with bits of red, green, purple. I picked bedding that would grow with him, so it's just red, white and blue madras plaid, nothing exciting there. The décor is mostly his artwork that he tapes all over the place, but I did paint two giant canvases myself. One is a hammerhead shark, the other is a whale. </p> <p>As for furniture, he's got a full sized bed, a 3 drawer dresser as a nightstand, a long dresser and then a desk with a bookshelf on top of that. It was mine as a child (except the bed, we added it later). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673700 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 10:46:38 +0000 bubblegum 2673700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: Awww who doesn't love Mickey. My son loves him but I try to stay away from characters because I want it to be something he can grow with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673699 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 10:45:59 +0000 bubblegum 2673699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: That's somewhat the same reason we're changing things. DS is switching rooms so we want to go all out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673698 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 10:44:58 +0000 bubblegum 2673698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: aww super cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/room-design-ideas#post-2673691 Wed, 04 Jan 2017 10:35:17 +0000 Honeygold89 2673691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mickey Mouse.
