49 Boys' Bedroom Ideas Your Son Will Adore (2024)

This all-blue space by Emily Henderson doesn't feel overly colorful thanks to a myriad of different shades of the same hue. Plus, checks on the floor and dots on the wall break up the solid blocks of color with a subtle patterns.

Leaving the ceiling white can make any room feel taller and brighter, but if you're opting for darker or patterned walls, paint the trim a contrasting shade as designer Celerie Kemble did in this space to better connect the two surfaces.

Monograms can err on the too cutesy and feminine side, so instead of spelling out a little boy's full name, choose a vintage marquee letter to mark his space.

Green and red are complementary colors that just work together—especially when you want a playful look. Slightly off shades of the two colors bridge the ground and walls in this nursery and look whimsical, not holiday-esque.

Designer Chlöe Elkerton knows that the best way to create a kids' bedroom that can evolve as they age is to only use bright colors on the pieces that easy to swap in and out, like these bed frames and coordinating throw pillows.

To make a boys room a space they want to hang out in, dedicate a corner (or an entire wall) to their current favorite hobby as designer Ariel Oakin did here.

To make these bunk beds feel like snug cocoons, designer Katie Ridder covered the inside in a bold plaid to contrast with the rest of the room's white walls.

Kids love to feel independent and appreciate their privacy. Carving out hideouts and spaces for them to be alone, like the cozy nooks in this room by Hal Studio, will make them feel more comfortable.

The built-in bunk bed in this boys room by Marsh & Sea forgoes the bottom mattress in favor of a play space, but one can easily be added when a friend comes over or if the family grows.

In the bedroom of Cortney and Robert Novogratz's younger son, the crane motif linens—from the Novogratz by Utica collection for WestPoint Home—were inspired by vintage wallpaper discovered in their West Village home during demolition. A bright blue locker nightstand adds whimsy.

While a bed that's low to the ground might not grow with your child, it certainly makes for an easy big-kid bed transition. Here, the bed in designer Chauncy Boothby's son's room has been passed down in her husband's family for four generations. She paired the classic brown furniture with nautical wallpaper that's perfect for a growing child.

For a small kid's room with a bump-out that couldn't be altered, designer Kelly Finley incorporated a custom bed with a desk on one side and built-in storage so that the child could still have space in the room to play.

Create a cohesive look in a boys room that has exposed beams with matching beds and ladders. In this Massachusetts home, designer Amanda Greaves and architect John Mitchell Fuller used leftover barn pieces and added red, white, and blue accents for an Americana vibe.

Kids often spend time playing in their room, so make sure it's well suited for those activities. In the boys' room of a New York City apartment, designer Raymond Boozer embraced soft surfaces like a fluffy IKEA rug and rich colors to optimize the space for playtime.

Invest in preloved items that will grow with your child as they age and can be passed down. In Country Living editor-in-chief Rachel Hardage Barrett's Alabama house, the vintage wall decor and furniture in her son's room make it feel lived-in, while vintage thermoses and flashlights add an element of collector's fun.

To ensure a family's two sons had a big open area to play and a place for their friends to spend the night, designer Andrew Howard arranged a pair of bunk beds in the corner of their room. Built-in storage further saves space in this bedroom.

Create a light, airy space by taking inspiration from the sky. Here, designer Lucy Harris chose Bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling painted in Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to make the white bunks feel as though they're floating.

If you have everything but the wall decor figured out, take inspiration from this tennis racket display in a South Carolina home by designer Alaina Michelle Ralph. Get creative when applying it to other sports: You could try an open shelf lined with baseballs.

It simply doesn't get any cooler than this bedroom designed by California-based firm Studio Life/Style. With stairs, a slide, a lofted hangout, a full-size bed, and a sitting area, you may as well stop clicking through and just send this to your contractor. (Just kidding, there's more of this goodness to come.)

If they have a favorite color, choose fun accent pieces that let it shine. In this bedroom designed by Heidi Callier, the blush pink curtains lighten the mood and allow for a sectioned-off "play zone" under the top bunks. The warm browns and woods create a warm foundation.
