The traditional color to use for decor in a baby boy's room is baby blue or light blue, but you don't have to use this color. If you want to use a color other than blue, try sage green, light purple, pale yellow, or pale red.
If you do want to use baby blue or light blue, try a different shade such as turquoise, cobalt, or aqua. You can also pair hues of blue with mocha brown for a trendy look--this color pairing works surprisingly well together. -
One of the first themes you may consider when decorating a baby boy's bedroom is one involving licensed cartoon characters. While there is nothing wrong with this idea, using items with licensed characters is more expensive than other themes.
Other ideas to consider include sports, cars and trucks, teddy bears, rubber duckies, and zoo animals. When using a theme, you should draw your colors from the items you use. For example, if you choose a rubber ducky theme, the other elements in the room should be in shades of pale yellow, ivory, and white to match. -
Decorations in a baby's room should be safe, and ideally they'll also stimulate the baby. Avoid breakable, low-lying objects since the baby may be able to reach them as they grow older. You should also avoid using decorative pillows, as they are a suffocation hazard.
Paintings in bright colors make good decorations for a baby boy's room because they are stimulating. Toy storage containers also do double duty as decorations when you choose ones with bright colors or distinctive patterns.
