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.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
