Sporting Fun
A sports theme is a favorite for many parents. This is especially true if there is a favorite family team or favorite sport. There are many ways to expand upon this theme, from cutesy cartoon prints with bright boyish colors to actual themed sets for boys that take the guesswork out of how to decorate your nursery.
Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Passing on Collections
Another classic, transportation decor, is a great way to expand upon another family pastime. A father's old car collection, train collection or plane models from his childhood can be a great stepping stone when deciding on how to decorate a baby boy's room. Not only does this make the space personal, it adds a unique twist on just buying standard decor because people's childhood collections are rarely the same. It also presents the opportunity to add to a beloved heirloom set that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Creepy Crawlies

Creepy Crawlie Can Be Cute
Boys of any age get a kick out of all things "creepy crawly". You can easily find cute additions to any nursery decorating idea that involve insects. Mobiles, toys, stencils and other items feature bugs of every shape and size. You can decorate everything from the ceiling to the floors with things that creep and slither. The nice thing about this theme is that anything you can't buy, you can make yourself as insects are simple to draw.
Other Animals

Ride 'em Cowboy
Insects can't get mentioned without throwing in the theme for other animals as well. You can go as babyish as you want, like with blue rocking horses. Other great nursery decorating ideas for boys include puppies, lions and tigers and bears or even just standard wildlife such as deer and ducks. Once again, it all depends on what your family enjoys and how you decorate the rest of your home.
Blocks & Primary Colors

Future Building Blocks
If you are having a hard time choosing a theme, or you just want to wait to see his little personality before deciding on one, a great simple way to go is to decorate in primary colors. Objects such as bright colorful blocks make great baby room decor, and can give you a head start on toys he will enjoy when he is older. You may even come to love the look so much that you'll stick with it instead of looking for more decorating ideas for boys when he's older. Either way, this theme is easy to change because all you have to do is add accessories in the same hues.
