Ocean-themed bedroom for boys, more ideas needed?

boys bedroom underwater theme image

Nina Lee

My boys (2 & 5 y/o) share a room. They currently have a sports/ ball theme going on in there but I want to change it to an ocean theme (considering my 2 y/o has a love for seahorses and my 5 y/o sea turtles). So... this is all I have so far and I'm just hoping for more ideas (anything) to go along with it (or to better my idea)....

Blue walls, fading light to dark from top to bottom. Large green (his favorite color) sea turtle painted near my 5 y/o's bed. Maybe a couple of smaller turtles also. Smaller but several, most of them being pink (his favorite color), seahorses pained near/ above my 2 y/o's bed. Yep that's it, need ideas please. Thanks!!!

Answer
you could make a large mobile to hang in a corner made of seashells

yu could hang curtains with whales or dolphins on them like these

and don't forget to paint some seaweed all around near the bottom

Any ideas on how to turn my daughters princess room into a baby boy/little girl room?

Well we were planning on selling our townhouse before having our second child, but with the housing market, doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon!

We have two master bedrooms so my daughter is quite spoiled to her own space, but i think she will be a wonderful big sister and love to share her giant room with the new baby...yeah right!

Anywho, i need ideas of how to make the room suitable for my little girl who will turning three when the new baby boy is born. I don't think pink princesses with tiaras are fair for the new baby :)

We obviously can't have anything too masculine or too feminine. I am an anti-pooh, anti-character type of mom when it comes to decorating and I would say I'm very modern/contemporary.

Any ideas would be fantastic!!!

Answer
You could make the color theme brown, blue, and pink. Have half of the walls brown with pink polka dots and half of the walls brown with blue stripes. It would look cute and be suitable for a boy and girl to share. Have your daughter's furniture by the pink and brown walls and your son's furniture by the blue and brown walls.


You could do a jungle theme. Incorporate pinks, blue, yellows, greens, oranges, and browns or tans. Maybe have somebody come in and paint a mural on the wall if you can. Otherwise, hang a lot of pictures up. Paint the walls with circles and stripes.

An underwater theme could be fun. Again, a mural would be nice. Otherwise, hang lots of fish and underwater pictures and decorations. You could have pink and purple fish and orange and green fish.

A barnyard theme would be cute. Use a mural or pictures.

What about a mid evil type theme. Pain a castle on the wall or build one from wood or buy a cloth one and make it like a princess and prince room.
