So we're moving our 5 year old boy up to the attic room. This will be his room for the duration now so I'm aware that I want to get the taste as much as possible right so i don't have to go changing things in the future.


He's 5, loves Star Wars, pirates, knights, rugby, tennis and is definitely a boys boy.


Please please come and show me what your boys have got in their rooms - both curtains and anything else that are nice as I feel like i've been surfing for days and haven't got anywhere.


Also please don't tell me to ask him as I have and he would have Star Wars, walls, curtains, carpet etc etc etc!!!!


Thanks

I've got 2 boys age 5 & 8 and they have the spotty roller blind from John Lewis which I am sorry to say they don't stock from the look of their website.


I found this link off Google images - scroll down the page to the pic with the spotty blind.

Not sure if I deliberately avoided a theme or why I chose this one. Anyway, they have never complained and we've had it a good few years now. They certainly would not like anything girly.

White walls, red and blue vaguely nautical striped blinds, and a variety of duvet covers, all red, white and/or blue, so plenty of flexibility. Room decorated when he was 4, now 9, can't see it changing ever (not into decorating at all and son s very happy). He ad a pirate duvet cover when small, now Union Jack. Neutral with changing cushions and bed dings as tastes change must be way to go.

On www.notonthehighstreet they have wall stickers which from my understanding you can remove. I thought about a neutral decor then add some elephant and other zoo type stickers which could then be removed as ds gets older.

It sounds awful but their website has lots and lots of ideas and unique items for children.

The range of fabric wall stickers from Quick Brown Fox Of Dulwich are really nice, they have pirate ones and dinosaur ones. They are moveable / reusable too, we have the woodland ones. The bedding is lovely too.

Otherwise I think vaguely nautical, red and blue stripes etc is a good theme, cos it would last ages as others have said, have fun choosing!

The spotty roman blinds fabric is still available actually, I made something similar for hello sailors girls room, you can just have the themed fabric on the accessories such as cushion covers etc..feel free to contact me on that. Also I made my 6 year old blinds out of fabric with a world map on it... He loves it and every night I ask him questions on where countries are in relation to others and which countries are close to others... he loves it, and so do we.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
