Fun Boy’s Room Decor

PaperBoy creates hand screen printed wallpaper with simple patterned animal shapes all children will love.
The decorating market seems to be focused on girls more than boys, but a Norfolk, England company decided to do just the opposite and merged boys’ themes with grown-up style. PaperBoy creates hand screen printed wallpaper with simple patterned animal shapes all children will love. They will enjoy recreating the shadow puppets featured on the sustainable forest paper with flashlights after hours. I bet parents will be amused too. An entertaining accent when used on only one wall of their bedroom or play area.
Straight from the Bolivian Amazon jungle (literally), this vivid Jungle Step features hand-painted animals. Parents will appreciate the eco-friendly tropical cedar and lead-free acrylic paints. Children love having kid-sized seating nearby, and there is no doubt the whimsical macaw and deer will intrigue.
I spotted this coat rack awhile back, but hesitated to post due to the “not available in the U.S.” warning. But a recent review by a grandparent in Minnesota convinced me to post anyway – where there’s a will, there’s a way, right? With the eleven pound per hook limit, it seems sturdy enough to hold childrens coats or hats, but close spacing would probably prohibit hanging three bulky items. It may even entice little boys to hang up their jackets.
When decorating for boys remember; accommodate their interests without going into theme overload, add at least one fun item to the room and most importantly, get them involved in the process!

At first I thought the wallpaper was sign language. It is very cool, never saw anything like it.

Thank you for stopping by my site today and especially thank you for leaving a comment. Making new blogging friends is always fun and always welcomed.
I love this wallpaper, so unique and fun. My son is 24 now but when I was wallpapering his room some 20 years ago, believe me, there was nothing to choose from. Glad to see things have changed a bit.
Have a great weekend!

I love the stool! Now that I have a boy added to the girls, I have to go a different direction!

I love the stool too – I wanted to write it would make a good Time Out chair, in the corner… then wondered how many mom’s still do Time Out!

My son would love that coat hook. He lives for Lego’s. That wallpaper is so interesting. I love the look of it. Thanks for sharing with us.
