Ideas For Sports Theme Bedrooms - Boys Baseball Bedroom

Sports-themed bedrooms for boys are always a great way to go for the athlete in your family. Here are some great ways to create a baseball theme boys bedroom on a budget.

1) Paint the room a basic beige color to mimic the color of the field. I used Benjamin Moore Deer Path #1047.

2) Add a mural on one wall to create an at the stadium feeling in the bedroom. I used this easy-to-install mural for a great effect.

3) Choose a simple painted bed with an open headboard so the mural is easily viewable. For the bedding, you can purchase a sports-themed set, or just get a plain blue quilt, and jazz it up with accessories. Use baseball pillows/sheets/blankets for a more cohesive look.

4) Create a nightstand out of an old locker, or paint an old nightstand bright red and put a baseball knob on the drawers/door. You can also purchase nightstands that look like lockers. You can add a baseball lamp to pull it together.

5) It's easy to re-purpose an existing ceiling fan by painting it red or blue, and applying baseball decals, or you can find a great baseball fan ready to install at Lowes.

6) For window treatments, create a custom valance by using team pennants which you can find on Ebay! String them together with rope and tack them to the wall or string them to a curtain rod. Use plain blue panels for extra privacy.

7) For extra touches, add a baseball rug, baseball knobs to the closet doors, or some framed pictures of their favorite players.

Your boys baseball room is sure to be a hit with all his friends. Take me out to the ball game!

Ceiling Fans for Your Bedrooms

Whether or not your home has air conditioning, you may be interested in learning more about the advantages of having a ceiling fan in your bedroom. These fixtures are relatively inexpensive to purchase and easy to install, whether you do it yourself or pay a handyman to do it for you. If you want to jazz up your bedroom, here are some things to consider regarding ceiling fans.

1. Ceiling fans add an attractive, decorative touch. They come in a variety of shapes to fit the size of your bedroom. You also can choose from a variety of blade designs and light fixtures to blend with the theme of the room or your entire home. Pull-chains are common, but many can be wired to flip on or off with a switch near the one for your overhead or wall light. Color schemes are varied. You can get a wood finish, or a painted veneer, some with designs. Your bedroom's ceiling fan should be a subtle accent, but not a distraction.

2. Ceiling fans help to cool the room. If you don't have a window air conditioner or whole-house cooling, you will love the gentle stir of indoor air that makes any room less stuffy. This effect can be enhanced when you open a window to mix outdoor with indoor air. Opening two windows can create a cross breeze that the fan can help to propel for a more expansive cooling effect. Fans that come with more than one speed can be adjusted to create a low, medium, or high circulating effect, depending on your preference for that bedroom. For example, a baby's room may not require as much ventilation as an adult's room.

3. Ceiling fans can help to muffle noise. Although most are not loud or intrusive, the soft background whirring made by the swish of the blades may cover the sounds coming from other areas of the home, such as television sets downstairs, kitchen blenders or dishwashers, or even a new pet's howling when locked in its crate for the night. People who work nights and sleep days may especially appreciate this feature, along with those who are light sleepers or napping children.

Some homeowners install two smaller ceiling fans for a larger room, like a basement-size recreation area, for example. This helps to keep air moving in all parts of the room. Cleaning the fans is easy. Turn them off and gently wipe the blades and light fixture with a clean cloth (using a stepladder) or a feather duster. If the light bulb burns out, make sure the fan and light are turned off, and carefully replace the bad bulb with a new one.
