Children's room boys

Designing a children's room for boys

When decorating your boys' nursery, we recommend that you design the room around a theme that your kids particularly like. As they will be spending a lot of time in their nursery, it is very important that your boys feel comfortable and cosy in it.

Children usually communicate their wishes clearly, which is why you should always involve your kids when designing their room. This also promotes a sense of community! It also allows your little rascals to build a personal bond with their self-designed room.

Classic themes for children's room design for boys include FEUERWEHR, animals or dinosaurs.

Furnishing the boys' room in the right colour

When it comes to the right colour for boys, most people think of blue or green. In fact, there is little reason not to decorate 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 as a furniture or wall colour. Alternatively, you can also use blue wall tattoos to fill empty spaces. You can find out more about 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 encourage your little one's imagination and creativity. Tip: Combine shades of green with lighter colours such as white, grey or beige to create a harmonious picture.

Furnishing the room: Furniture in the children's room for boys

Now let's move on to furnishing the children's room. The right furniture is essential for a cosy atmosphere and the right choice is therefore the most important step in designing the room. Your boys should feel comfortable in their room and be able to let off steam, try things out and develop without any worries.

The right choice of furniture depends on various factors, such as the age of your boys, their interests, the space available and, of course, your budget. But there are also other important aspects to consider when furnishing.

Safety in the boys' room

It is very important to ensure the necessary safety so that your children can let off steam freely in their room. There are several aspects to consider:

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

The right bed for your boys

During the growth phase, healthy sleep is essential for your boys so that they can recover from their exciting everyday life and develop optimally. That's why the right choice of bed is so important. A bed also takes up a lot of space in the nursery, which is why the bed should be both compact and appealing to your boys.

Boys need space to play

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

Empty space in the children's room is extremely important for children as they need room to play, exercise and be creative.
Free space is particularly important for boys so that they don't bump into furniture or trip over children's room decorations and injure themselves in the process. Free space can also stimulate your kids' creativity and support their independence if they can move and organise themselves freely in their children's room.

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, which will become necessary as they get older (e.g. guitar stands, bookshelves, etc.).
