These boys’ retreats are as stylish as they are playful – take some tips for a room your little one will never want to leave!
1. A cute spot rug and a retro bike are alluring drawcards in this light-filled room. Timber-look wallpaper in ‘New England 2014’ from Eurowalls provides a textural backdrop for a world map from Paper 2, while charcoal grey carpet is a safe and stylish option.
2. This half-strength Wattyl paint in Dirty Denim is the perfect match for classic white furniture (try Siroccohome for similar pieces) and playful bunting.
3. Timber plantation shutters are teamed with rattan toy boxes and traditional cast-iron beds from Ebay dressed in Adairs linen. Colour is injected with a selection of vibrant toys, a paper lantern from Vivid Room and a bright artwork by Meredith Gaston.
4. Vintage maps and globes add a touch of adventure in this boys’ bedroom – try Etsy or Ebay for unique secondhand finds.
5. An Ikea bed is dressed up with a colourful bed cover, a feature canvas in Sharp Blue and white letters from a local craft market.
6. These bunk beds from Treehouse are perfect for sleepovers, with bunting and star motifs adding fun accents. The Union Jack trunk from Coco Republic is the perfect spot to stash toys or use as a dress-up box.
7. Nothing says ‘boy’ quite like a bold splash of fire-engine red! Next to a built-in bed sits a table from Lilly & Lolly and a funky, wheeled lamp from Ikea.
