Coming up with orange bedroom ideas

If your child has a favorite color, it makes it so much easier to start decorating their room. Especially if that color is pink or blue. Just about every theme has some kind of stuff in those colors.

But I get asked about orange a bit. Your choices seem to be a bit narrower with a color like that. (Which I don’t get since it’s such a fun, happy color.) I got to thinking about orange bedroom ideas and just where to start in trying to create one.

An obvious one is sports bedding. From Tennessee, Clemson or Texas, there are quite a few choices at the college level. Add in the Tigers, Giants, Bengals and more at the professional level and you’ve got a few options. Unless that’s not your child’s team. Sports bedding is an easy route, but also harder since we’re loyal to specific teams.

So let’s think a bit. You could go with a fairly generic theme and just look for orange bedding with in that. I’m thinking polka dots, stripes, plaids. Heck, even something like cars or birds can be done in orange.

Then there are the things that are actually orange. Let’s say – fire, basketballs, tigers, giraffes, sunsets. Use any of those elements as your main one and now you could have a fireman room or basketball room or jungle room or beach room.

Brainstorm your own list and see what kinds of great ideas you can come up with!

(FYI – the huge orange thing in the picture is the Fatboy Junior bean bag chair in orange. Totally fun for any room.)

Boy Bedroom Ideas: Construction Theme

Building things is so much fun, isn’t it? And then there’s all the big trucks and machinery. And dirt. Don’t forget dirt! No wonder little boys are fascinated with construction and would likely love it as a bedroom theme.

There are tons of construction-related bedding sets you can choose from. This one from Target just happened to be one of my favorites because of the big images and the color scheme. Which then posed a challenge because a lot of construction decor includes red, which I wasn’t using. But persistence prevails! As you add to what I’ve put together, pay attention to the colors and don’t overdo the trucks in the decor. Your child’s toys will provide that part of the theme handily enough.

Two pieces in this room are bound to become some of my favorite due to their versatility. One is the blue rug from The Land of Nod – it also comes in gray and brown – since it has pattern without being dominating. Makes it perfect to blend in with a variety of themes. Then there’s that orange storage bench from Posh Tots. Which doesn’t have to be orange. They make it in several colors and even have your choice of cutout on the front. The classic lines make it a great choice in just about any room and a piece that will last them a long time.

Boy Bedroom Ideas: Orange and Blue Sports Toddler Theme

If you’re into sports, it’s likely your child will be (or pretend to be) as well. Most sports bedroom decor for kids lends itself to the same boring concept and color scheme, so how about something with a more modern touch?

The modern in this scheme is definitely the bedding. No red, no green, no typical. Which was actually a challenge as I was looking at sports decor to pair because it almost all has red and green and didn’t go. Scored some great pieces, though, including – yes – some Tennessee items. Sorry, my family has some orange blood in it. You could swap those out for any team you like – Clemson, Denver Broncos, lots of teams use orange and/or blue.
