WHAT SHOULD YOU INCLUDE IN A BOYS ‘BEDROOM?
What should be included in a boy’s bedroom will mainly depend on his age. For younger boys, you’ll want to include plenty of spaces to play, maybe a den and mat, and plenty of easy-to-access storage for toys so they can take them out and hopefully put them away. easily too. As they get older, you may also want to consider adding a desk for homework or drawing.
The bed you choose is also essential, try not to get too carried away by purchasing a bed (no doubt very impressive) in the shape of a car, boat or castle, unless you are sure you don’t have to. replace it within a year. Pick bullion coins that will last and grow the way they do – with a bed that can literally mean you could choose a model that gets bigger.
WHAT COLORS SHOULD I USE IN A BOYS ‘BEDROOM?
Blue is of course the choice, but there are so many other color combinations that will work in boys’ rooms. Yellow is a very trendy shade in gender-neutral bedrooms, as is green, but just let your child get involved in the color choices and you want their space to reflect their tastes as well.
