Children's rooms for boys

Designing children's rooms for boys

When furnishing your boys' children's room, we recommend designing the room around a theme that your children particularly like. As they will be spending a lot of time in their children's room, it is very important that your boys feel comfortable and secure in it.

Children usually communicate their wishes clearly, which is why you should always involve your children in the design of their bedroom. This also promotes a sense of community! In addition, your little rascals can directly build a personal connection to their self-designed room.

Classic themes for boys' bedrooms include FEUERWEHR , animals or dinosaurs.

Decorate the room in the right colour

When it comes to suitable colours for boys, most people think of blue or green. In fact, there is little to be said against decorating your boys' bedroom in these colours.

• Shades of blue have a calming and harmonious effect and are often associated with the sky or the sea. The colour blue is therefore ideal for furniture or wall paint. Alternatively, you can use blue wall tattoos to fill empty spaces. You can find more information on wall tattoos at the end of this article.

• The colour green stands for happiness and contentment, has a relaxing and balancing effect on the psyche and can help to stimulate your little ones' imagination and creativity. Tip: combine shades of green with lighter colours such as white, grey or beige to create a harmonious look.

Furnishing the room: furniture for boys' bedrooms

Now let's move on to furnishing the children's room. The right furniture is essential for creating a cosy atmosphere, so choosing the right pieces is the most important step in designing the room. Your boys should feel comfortable in their room, where they can let off steam, try things out and develop without a care in the world. 

Choosing the right furniture depends on various factors, such as your boys' ages, their interests, the available space and, of course, your budget. But there are other important aspects to consider when furnishing the room.

Safety in the children's room

To ensure that your children can play freely in their room, it is very important to provide the necessary safety measures. There are several aspects to consider: 

• Boys have a lot of energy and like to let off steam by playing and doing gymnastics in their rooms. To prevent your little rascals from injuring themselves, it is important to choose furniture and furnishings that are safe and stable and have as few sharp edges as possible. This will help you avoid unnecessary tears.
• As children, and boys in particular, are very curious and always want to try everything out, it is even more important to fit all sockets in the children's room or playroom with socket covers so that your little explorers do not come into contact with electricity.
• If your children are still very young, it is advisable to secure the windows in their bedroom so that they do not try to climb up or open them. 
• Unfortunately, there are always materials in children's toys or furniture that can be harmful to children's health. Therefore, find out in advance about possible harmful substances. Our adhesive films are all CE-tested according to EU standards and child-safe.

The right bed for your boys

During their growth phase, healthy sleep is essential for your boys so that they can recover from their exciting everyday lives and develop optimally. That's why choosing the right bed is so important. In addition, a bed takes up a lot of space in a child's room, which is why the bed should be compact and appeal to your boys' sense of style.

The IKEA KURA children's bed can be set up as either a floor bed or a loft bed, making it suitable for both toddlers and primary school children. The loft bed version is particularly space-efficient, as the space under the bed is perfect for use as a play area or reading corner. With our matching cotton bed curtains, the KURA children's loft bed can also be easily transformed into an adventure cave.

With our large selection of custom-fit Limmaland adhesive films, you can also transform the simple IKEA KURA children's bed into a real children's dream, giving the entire children's room a new look. Possible motifs for your boys' bunk bed include dinosaurs, space or FEUERWEHR.

Storage In the boys' bedroom

Wall tattoos in boys' bedrooms

The children's room is the place where little ones can develop freely, learn, play and rest. Bare, cold walls have no place here! Small splashes of colour, wall tattoos and decorative elements on the walls create a feel-good atmosphere and can encourage and support your boys' creativity.

 When you think of wall design, the first thing that comes to mind is painting. This is easier than wallpapering, but it's still not exactly quick. The children's room has to be prepared, the furniture has to be protected from the paint, and then you have to wait for the paint to dry. 

It's easier and quicker to add colour to the walls with wall tattoos. 

wall decal Add subtle, stylish splashes of colour or cute motifs to the wall without making it look cluttered. And when your boys no longer like the wall design or the children's room becomes a teenager's room, you can simply remove them again.

Tip: Wall tattoos can also be combined really well with coloured surfaces.

Boys need space to play

In addition to all the essential elements that a child's room needs, such as a desk, chairs and bed, one thing must not be neglected: enough free space to let off steam. 

Empty space in a child's room is extremely important, as they need room to play, exercise and be creative. 
Boys in particular need free space so that they don't bump into furniture or trip over decorations in their bedroom and injure themselves while playing energetically. Free space can also stimulate your children's creativity and support their independence when they can move around and organise themselves freely in their bedroom. 

From an organisational point of view, it also makes sense to keep some space free for new furniture or furnishings for the children's room that will become necessary as they get older (e.g. guitar stands, bookshelves, etc.).
