39+ Awesome Boy’s Bedroom Ideas

This mountain mural was seriously easier than it looks! Feel free to mix up the color scheme to match your own child’s room. 

We built this cabin bed for our boy’s bedroom and it added so much character to the space. It was a great transition for him to move out of his crib, and into something that still had walls so he felt safe. 

I loved how we were able to create a quote for our kid’s room with these wood letters for the wall. 

How fun is this loft-style reading nook that she created in the closet? You could also use it as a loft bed. You definitely lose some closet space, but it is made up for in the coolness factor you add to the boys’ room – don’t you think? 

By using bunk beds, she was able to create a lot of extra room in this shared boy’s bedroom. There’s plenty of space to create stations for the boys to play, create and read. 

I love the look of this ombre-painted wall that was made to mimic the northern lights as inspiration. Her son had the idea of northern lights and they used their creative juices to come up with this wall that looks great in his room.

A top tip that I’ve learned over the years with kids’ rooms – especially boys – get storage solutions that have doors or drawers that close to conceal the clutter. Even though all of these bins are full of legos, toys, and boys, the fronts close to hide it and it makes the room feel nice and neat.

Julia mentions that her boy has a lot of different interests – everything from dinosaurs to pirate ships. She was able to blend those interests with a cohesive look using a color scheme to pull it all together.

Cool colors, like grays and blues, work well in boys bedrooms. I love this classic-looking bedroom that will definitely grow with him. She added a few accents of dinosaurs, which is his current interest, but those are very easy to swap out as things change. 

I just love this kid’s bedroom design with an “explore” theme – complete with mountains painted on the wall. But my favorite part of this shared boy’s room is the tent in the corner to use as a reading area. If you have enough floor space for one in your new bedroom, it definitely is a great way to encourage reading!  

If your little guy is into space things, why not give his room a space theme, like this? Rather than leaving the plain white walls, paint an outer space wall mural using navy blue paint and wall decals.

This little bed that looks like a house is perfect for a young boy’s bedroom because it is just enough space for a toddler mattress. The curtains in the windows are a fun touch too. 

Does your son like trains? Then a train-themed bedroom is definitely a good idea. This train mural is an easy way to add a ton of character to a room and helps solidify your theme. 

Painting stripes on the wall is such a great idea. You instantly add more interest to the walls with not much of an investment of time or energy. 

It’s no wonder that this boy’s bedroom was featured in an issue of This Old House magazine because it has so much great inspiration! I think my favorite part is the denim-inspired painted walls. So unique! 

A good room always starts with a design plan to pull everything together. This room incorporates several vintage items with a map theme. She keeps things feeling cohesive with an olive and rust color scheme that you can see in items throughout the room.  

When it comes to boys’ bedroom ideas, don’t be afraid to go with a bold color of two like Chelsea did here. Really let your child’s personality shine through. After all,  you are designing a room to be used as their personal space, right?

This teen boy’s bedroom not only included a neutral color scheme but also added a lot of much-needed toy storage. There are a lot of trinkets and Lego sets that boys need to have space to display. 

If your boy’s room is low on light, why not make your own light fixtures to hang on the wall? This is such a great idea that adds a lot of character. 

We have two-tone walls in our master bedroom, so you already know that I’m a big fan of them. But ours have more contrast, I love the subtleness of these ones using two different shades of gray. 

Feel free to go a bit more wild with a boy’s room – like a Star Wars theme. This one even has a lightsaber on the wall! Even though it has a crib and is a nursery, I kept this one on here because you can easily picture it with a bed instead, for a young boy’s bedroom. 

I love how Amanda has incorporated playful pops of color in her son’s room here. He requested a bright red bed and she pulled that off for sure with pops of color used throughout the room. 

Just look at how much character is added to this little boy’s room with that wallpaper accent wall.

Boys and sports go together like peanut butter and jelly right? Look at all of the great ideas here for using sports decor in a boy’s room. 

The masculine feel that a faux brick wall adds to a room is perfect for a boy’s bedroom. I’ve done something similar in our laundry room with the German schmear look, but I love that she kept the brick look natural, which fits well for a boy’s space. 

Here’s another example of a guy’s bedroom with a brick wall. This one has a slightly more mature vibe with a modern industrial theme, which is perfect if you’re looking for teen boy bedroom ideas. 

My favorite part of this little boy’s room is the chalkboard-painted house design on the wall, perfect for creating. 

There is also plenty of space to display the little guy’s art on the wall, which reminds me a bit of our clipboard wall that we have in our hallway. Displaying your kid’s art is such a great tool to build self-confidence in your little ones. 

This bed that Amanda built with shelves on each side and drawers underneath is PERFECT – regardless of your child’s age. 

This bedroom has such a fun theme – video games! If you’re looking for a boy room ideas, this one is a great one (if he likes video games, of course). My favorite part is the stairs platform that they added to the end of the bed, which incorporates a bookshelf and a dresser.

If you’re planning on a space-themed room for your little guy, you’ve gotta make a DIY night sky mural like this. Can you believe that she made this with a Sharpie and a ruler?! 

The vertical shiplap wainscoting that they added to this bedroom in the pretty shade of bleu green added so much character to this boy’s bedroom!

There’s something that is so “boy” about the industrial style. It looks great in this boy’s bedroom fit for a teen. 

If you have a big empty wall in your boy’s bedroom, try something large like a vintage map. This one adds so much style to the room. Paired with other vintage art and treasures, it really pulls everything together. 

A large cork board wall will serve your little guy well into his teen years. Boys that love to create also love to display things and the cork wall is perfect for that! 

You can totally have a themed boy’s bedroom, like dinosaurs, but still have a color scheme that you love and that fits with the rest of your home’s color palette. It doesn’t have to be all bright and primary colors. Amanda hits the nail on the head with this room. 

If your little guy or guys like cowboys, why not lean into that interest? This cowboy themed shared bedroom is so adorable! 

Orange was her son’s favorite color and the bold shade was unfortunately Mom’s least favorite color. So they compromised with neutral gray walls and incorporated the orange color through a bedspread and other accents. 

I love this space themed boy’s bedroom that definitely feels like it has a space theme, but it isn’t “too theme-y”. I think the stars on the ceiling are my favorite part.
