If you are expecting a baby boy, one of the most exciting things you can do to pass the time is plan, paint and decorate his new bedroom. Choosing a color scheme for a boy's room is fun but can be overwhelming when you see all the choices.
Forget pastels--even blue and green. Your sweet newborn baby is going to be a destructive toddler before you know it, and those soft colors won't suit his personality for long. You will find yourself wanting to repaint and redecorate his room by the time he is two. Painting with a 2-year old running around is no fun. Instead, choose boy's room colors that will outlast the terrible twos.
Consider what your son might like as he gets older. If your husband loves sports, your son probably will as well. The same goes for trucks, Nascar racing and other hobbies. Use those interests as inspiration for choosing your son's room colors.
Find the common thread Look at all the interests you feel your son might have and find a color that connects them. For example, if your husband is a fire fighter who loves the Red Sox and the New England Patriots, go with red walls for your boy's room. You can redecorate to a firetruck, baseball or football theme with red walls without having to repaint. A police officer who loves the Colts would be proud to have his son sleeping in a room with dark blue walls to match his two passions.
Think about painting walls half cream and half a dark color. Most typical boy colors are darker, and this is a good way to balance that out without the room seeming too dark and dreary. A nice chair rail makes a good division between the two colors.
Shop for paint. Ask for help at the paint counter to choose the best paint for a child's room. Some paints are easier to wipe clean when those crayons inevitably end up decorating the walls.
