If your son is ready for a bedroom makeover, use football as the main theme
. If he is really into the game he will love what you are going to create for him. Here are some helpful tips and hints to get you started.
To begin you need to paint the room. There are several ways that you can do this; by his favorite team, or by painting a field. If your child is crazy about a certain football team you can use the team colors to make the look. You may want to paint the bottom half of the wall in a green that looks like turf green. Then paint the upper half in the blue sky. Add some markings like they do on the field and you are ready to put your son in the game.
If you know a great artist, you could have a life sized picture of your child's favorite player added to the walls. You could also paint goal posts on opposite walls to complete the look of a football field. Another great option is to paint the walls to look like a stadium full of people. Then your son can pretend he is scoring the winning touchdown as millions of people cheer him on from the stands.
You will need to find the perfect bedding for your son's room. To do this you can find his favorite team colors to help coordinate everything together. If you can't find a complete outfit then you will need to shop individually for the colors.
Install some shelves to display your son's trophies and other sports memorabilia. You could even get him started with a new collection of miniature NFL helmets or autographed photos of famous players. Make sure you give his treasures a prominent place for display.
If you want to make a great impression, place an area rug that coordinates with the football theme. You can find these almost anywhere and some are in the shape of a football. When he acts out the latest football moves he will be able to land on something soft.
When it comes to furniture don't just settle for any furniture purchase some football themed furniture. You can pick these items up at local stores or order online. You can even purchase sofas done in football themed fabric.
Finally because it is a football themed room you will need a bin filled with footballs. You can purchase a bunch of footballs and have them stored in one corner of the room. He will love having access to it all the time.
