My Son is having his first proper bedroom at the grand age of 8!! We are having our home renovated at last and I told him he could choose the theme of his bedroom.

Rugby!! any ideas?

I have been trying to see if there are any murals that cover a whole wall but had no luck so far

the rfu (rfu.com) (And their shop in twickenham) has everything you could possibly want in terms of rugby style kistch (per my dh. I must say I've not been inspired to do our house in a rugby theme)

Don't do it.
Naff as hell and he will grow out of it in a few years.

moondog has a point - can you compromise and get him a framed shirt/duvet cover or curtains in theme? that is less hard to change

No like I said, he has asked for a Rugby theme. You are entitled to your opinion but it is not mine. Thanks will look at site

How about a message board that looks like a Rugby ball? You can get one of those wood shops to cut the shape for you, cover it in felt and then he can use it to stick pictures on etc.

DS1 (15) has a football one (my friend made it cos I'm rubbish at things like that). With rugby... what a great excuse for putting roses in his room

I could only find football murals

You cuold always paint a set of goalposts on a wall.

You can get England Rugby bedding too

gigglewitchyouamerrychristmas · 16/12/2007 01:21

think the goalposts idea is good.
what team is his fave? how about bedding in 'team colours' if not a specific team's emblem (we rugby fans are not as, erm, popular in manufacturers' worlds as those footie fans) hang rugby ball from ceiling? (suitably secured to let him throw it??????!!!!)
big clock, digital like the ones in the ground, dual purpose so he can practice telling the time (obv)
green carpet? (turf!!)

you have really caught my imagination with this, i think it is a fantastic idea. I will be back!!

You could paint loads of faces on one wall to look like a stadium all looking down on him the star player!

Make the headboard to resemble goalposts?

Love the idea of a ball attached to the ceiling and the digital clock.

Don't forget posters of fav player.

And if he doesn't want Jason Robinson in his bedroom you can send him round to mine.
