Shared Boy’s Bedroom Inspiration

When I was pregnant with Evelynn, I went into major nesting mode. The list of projects that I had compiled in my head was never ending. I definitely put my husband to work with his honey do list. The boys’ shared bedroom was already on the list since it was time to transition Jude out of a crib and into a big boy bed. I usually prefer to skip the toddler bed and go straight to a twin sized bed because I think the kids sleep much better that way. I did a lot of research on what type of bed I wanted for the boys room, and I couldn’t find an affordable bunk bed in the layout I wanted, so my husband decided to tackle building one! So while he got to work on the plans and supplies for the bunk bed, I put together this little boys’ shared bedroom vision board to help tie it all in!

Boys’ Shared Bedroom

When envisioning the boys’ room, I really wanted to make sure that it represented the both of them. I wanted something that could grow with them both so I wasn’t changing it in a few years, and I wanted it to represent both of their personalities. The current colors in the room were very bright and bold, and I wanted to make them a little bit more transitional. I have been on this painting spree in our entire house with lighter colors brightening up every room, and making it easier to change decor themes without having to paint again. You can see the original room here. Since we would be redoing the girls’ room soon to accommodate a girl’s bedroom and nursery, I also didn’t want to spend a lot of money on the boys’ room.

Transportation Theme Boys Bedroom

Using what Jase already had on his bed, we found coordinating items for Jude’s bed. Thankfully Target still carried the quilt, so we bought a matching quilt for Jude. A few strolls through Target, and a look at what both boys loved, we settled on bringing in a bit of a transportation theme. Jase loves fire trucks, police cars, and helicopters while Jude loves all things cars. It seemed like the perfect way to combine something they both love! It just so happened that their Great Grandpa also gave them some classic car models recently to tie perfectly into the decor. With the Navy accents in the room and on their striped wall, everything pulled together nicely. I can’t wait to show you the big reveal!
