25 boys' bedroom ideas – creative looks that are packed with personality

Tapping into boys' bedroom ideas that meet their daily needs and match their personalities too are, perhaps surprisingly, totally within reach.

Even if the rest of your home is a tranquil oasis of calming neutrals, and your son's desire for a bright red room is strong, there are lots of creative kids' bedroom to put into play so that you can find balance and decorate in a way that appeals to them and that gets your seal of approval also.   

'Bedrooms are personal to everyone, no matter our age or the amount of time we spend in them. To make a boy's room appealing and somewhere they feel safe and comfortable, it's important to personalize the room as much as possible,' says Devin Shaffer, lead interior designer at Decorilla Online Interior Design.

As any parent will know, kids tend to have a lot of stuff, and it's all (usually) integral to their development. Banishing the nerf guns or the lego isn't really an option, so you've got to create enough space for adequate toy storage to keep the space practical and stylish. Plenty of closed storage is essential for hiding away the less-cute toys, and keeping the space clutter-free and always ready for playtime. 

And of course, the age of your child(ren) makes a huge difference to how you should approach their decor. If they're younger, we'd always recommend of course getting your basic bones of the room, like kids' beds, perfect, but then choosing a scheme that you can easily and cheaply update as they grow older and their tastes change.
