They’re football crazy, they’re football mad and their football themed bedroom will be the best room’s they’ve ever had!
Yes, most boys love football and opting for a football themed bedroom is usually a great idea. By an early age many young boys and an increasing number of girls will have a fairly strong allegiance to one team or another and this lends itself quite easily to creating a suitable colour scheme and finding accessories that football crazed children will like and approve of.

Favourite Teams
Popular teams are generally well covered by most retailers although with lower division and local teams it can be less simple. Often the first port of call in such instances will be the club’s own merchandise store and, failing this, more imagination and research may be required?
A useful tactic where themed bedding, curtains and accessories are not readily available is to opt for a fairly general or neutral scheme and add accessories or splashes of colour in order to add the team’s identity.
Colours
Colour, of course, is a major component of most football themed rooms and needs to be used carefully. A red or blue duvet or set of curtains will have a dominant effect on all but the most spacious of children’s rooms so try to resist the temptation to go overboard. By the time you’ve added a few accessories and hung a poster or two the sheer volume of colour could be somewhat overwhelming.
Although most young children will maintain their loyalty to a particular team for the rest of their lives, some children will, naturally, be more fickle. A team unfortunate enough to be relegated to a lower division can soon loose favour and it’s here where the neutral theme comes into play.
Football Bedding & Accessories
Bedding, curtains, table lamps, light shades and posters are obvious candidates, but also there are light fittings, name plaques, cushions and all manner of children’s furniture and bedroom accessories to choose from.
Alternative Football Theme Ideas
If you want to use the football theme but also want to be a little more imaginative, and have the skills necessary, then you could implement a few novel design ideas. For example: you could use the team’s logo as a general decorating template, make a headboard in the shape of a football, fashion curtains in the form of an oversized football shirt or employ a grass coloured rug to emulate the football pitch.
You can be adventurous or as sober as you wish, just experiment and try out a few ideas. A cleverly put-together football theme will last for many years so time spent trying out ideas will rarely be wasted.
As with any children’s room theme the secret is to take your time, do lot’s of research and experiment. When complete, your child’s football themed bedroom should be a fun and relaxing space in which his or her imagination can be set free.
