How to theme your child’s bedroom to their favourite hobby

Is your child mad on skateboarding, sailing, basketball, skiing or surfing? Their favourite hobby is a great starting point for a bedroom theme.

For this surf-themed room, we’ve kept the walls and floor simple and neutral as this will mean they won’t need to be updated as your child grows. Invest in some good-quality, plain bedding – linen is a great bedding fabric for teens as the more crumpled and relaxed it looks, the better. Mix it up with some pillowcases and cushions on the bed. A large euro pillow at the back is great for reading, then layer it with a standard pillowcase and a cushion or two.

Like any room, storage is key, so a bedside cabinet and drawers are essential. Also consider creating some vertical storage by adding hooks on a blank wall for hanging up a wetsuit, favourite cap or ski jacket.

If you have wooden floors then a rug is a must. This woven denim rug not only ties in with the colour theme but is also very durable.

A photographic print chosen by your child won’t go out of date and they can continue to enjoy it for years. Finally, simply add their sporting equipment as decoration and voilà!
