Boys bedroom curtains/decor - HELP before I go mad

[pebbles]

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 quite like the Feather and Black stuff - http://www.featherandblack.com/childrens/bed-linen/boys-bed-linen - but my boy loves dinosaurs so that works! The y do quite cool kids beds too....

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.

Thanks, yes I think I definitely want to go neutral rather than a theme cos as we all know their likes change so quickly :)

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.

surely no-one grows out of being into Star Wars . . . ???

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.

Oooo that's a good idea. Star Wars stickers. And then if he grows out of them Mr P might steal them for our room :). I wil go and look at NOHS now

Thanks so much everyone

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.

Well in my opinion a race car kids bed can be a good option for your kid as i have also given one to my son.
