If your little boy is obsessed with football, then a surprise room makeover might be the perfect gift for him. You can decorate your child’s room into a football fantasy world with a little creativity and a few simple design tricks. Follow these easy tips to make your son’s football themed room a reality.
To begin you need to paint the room. There are several ways that you can do this; by his favorite team, or by painting a field. If your child is crazy about a certain football team you can use the team colors to make the look. You may want to paint the bottom half of the wall in a green that looks like turf green. Then paint the upper half in the blue sky. Add some markings like they do on the field and you are ready to put your son in the game.
If you know a great artist, you could have a life sized picture of your child’s favorite player added to the walls. You could also paint goal posts on opposite walls to complete the look of a football field. Another great option is to paint the walls to look like a stadium full of people. Then your son can pretend he is scoring the winning touchdown as millions of people cheer him on from the stands.
Next, select bedding that your child will enjoy. You could select a solid color or reversible comforter. Many football teams offer customized bedding which would coordinate nicely with the painted walls. Look for coordinating curtains to match the bedding.
Next you will want to add a shelf or two in the room that will give your son a place to set all his trophies or awards. You can also add some photos of his favorite team and individual players.
A room would not be complete without a rug. Make sure that you select an area rug that color coordinates with the theme in the room. You can purchase a brown rug, oval or a rug shaped like a football.
You should also look for unique furniture for your child’s room. Some specialty shops sell football shaped chairs or small child sized sofas covered in football fabric. Look for some fun miniature furniture so your child can lounge around with his friends in style. If you can’t find anything that matches you theme, then you should look for some football themed fabric and have small slipcovers made by a professional seamstress.
Purchase a plastic storage tub or bin and fill it up with footballs. Your son will always have a football on hand when he needs it.
