Boys bedroom

[Alibobster]

Going to decorate ds (4) bedroom. Have ordered new white bed and white furniture. Do I do the walls pale blue and dark blue carpet or dark walls and pale carpet? Or neutral carpet maybe. Want it to be really nice for him but I'm rubbish at ideas for this kind of stuff

thanks

dark carpet always shows all the crap IME and you will be forever hoovering

paler, speckedly type capret and a washable rug is the way forward!

I prefer pale walls (white) but ds wants yellow now for some reason as 'white is boring'

i always thought the same as cyb re dark carpets, but when we did ds1's room i needed a carpet in a hurry and the only blue one they could get for the weekend was much darker than i'd have chosen.
and actually it's not that bad! it looks a lot nicer than i thought it would,

so i woulkd go dark carpet and paler walls

The DS' have a mid-grey carpet (bit speckled) - with 3 white walls and one blue wall.

Blue and white spotty curtains and colourful prints and bedding bring it all together.

We put (nice) laminate in ds's bedroom and he's so pleased with it because he can stand his lego, playmobil etc up without it falling over!

We turned boys' room into a "rocket". Dark blue ceiling, space ship grey walls, dark blue port hole windows with fluro stars painted onto the grey walls - then stuck fluro stars on the ceiling. Even used special glitter top coat paint on port holes as if there was a galaxy in the distance.

They loved it - even managed to get spaceman curtain fabric and matching duvet sets.

Ladies some great ideas, thank you. Sportsmum that sounds amazing. Daisy, laughing at the laminate floor; the simplest things that make them happy x

We have white furniture & white walls & neutral carpet. The bright bedding and rug and the pictures and toys really stand out and look very cheerful. Unintentionally looks like a posh catalogue and I love it - it also grows with him really well as its themed by his toys and pictures so the theme is whatever he's into at that time. It has a small wall painted with magnetic paint so at the moment he sticking football stuff up (can you tell its my favourite room in the house!). DS loves it too but really he would love any of the options.
