Curtains for DS room

[sleepcrisis]

DS is 2.5 and getting lovely new curtains made for his room. Had initially decided on this, but could you tell me if you think it is too babyish? I can't make up my mind as have never had a 5 yr old boy before! Sample looks lovely to me:

He'll be sharing with a baby brother in about a year so I guess babyish doesn't matter so much...

Other option is this cath kidston dinosaur one but I'd have to go straight ahead and order these without a sample...

I think I would get more bored of the dino one but it's him I should be thinking about really!

Or I guess I could go boring and plain/stripes.

(too much choice...)

I like the stars better.

Prefer the stars too. The dinosaurs are a bit grown up for a little boys room.

So do I I think... but everyone keeps telling me that the most important thing is that I must make sure his room isn't too babyish!

I am imagining all his friends at school in 4 years time taking the piss because he doesn't have spiderman curtains or something!

I'd go for the stars. They will be appropriate for longer.

He can always have a spiderman duvet cover/poster. Cheaper to change than curtains.

the stars are cheaper too!

yes I'm going for black out lining and a black out roller blind underneath. The stars fabric seems heavy enough for this but not seen CK in the flesh and did wonder if it would be too thin...

Re £££, I'm getting them from an online curtain company and they come out at £220 inc. fabric and lining and delivery, or £280 for the dinosaurs.

Do you think thats steep? I'm inclined to think not as usually I make my own, and the fabric/lining/tape etc alone would come to £100. I just don't have the time this year. They are floor length curtains on a big window.

I don't think it sounds too steep.

The only way of doing to cheaper would be to buy cheap plain curtains and then add a band of the stars fabric (may be down the edge where the curtains meet) to decorate it - if you are handy with the sewing machine.

Thanks everyone. I'm happy to pay that as I usually make mine and that's how much I'd like to charge if I was making them for someone else!

I prefer the stars too!

I love the stars - I've got a nearly 4 yr old boy and would definately still choose those for him (though I have got him a pencil case in the CK dino print for Christmas!).
