How To Choose Color For A Boys Room

This handsome room from Pottery Barn Kids is a very typical color theme for boys. You of course have various shades of blue, a neutral to break it up and the color of the furniture which in this case is a brown. We all know that blue and brown are a great color duo.

As you can see the walls in this room are the lighter blue which is fine. Most young boys love light blue and it goes with most of their toys and room accents. It you wanted to add a little interest, you would use the darker blue as an accent color.

The window treatment, a Roman Shade, in this room already has the navy as an accent which shows a nice contrast to the lighter wall. You can continue the navy accent color in your lamps, throw pillows, accessories such as picture frames and books.

Still not sure how to choose color for a boys room? Here's a real easy trick. Purchase sheets and bedding that will go into the room. Look at the colors that are in the fabric.
