How can i decorate a boy's room in shabby chic style?I wnt to decrate my house shabbychic but how abt my boys?

Question

Shabby chic is like understated elegant designs, white walls, delicate flower prints and faded pastels. Furniture made to look old and recycled. Similar to french country and cottage designs but more toned down with whites.

Answer 1

You can still have the same cottage type feel, but use more masculine colors and patterns. A child's bedroom does not need to be in exactly the same style as the rest of the house.

I would go for more of a pottery barn look in a boy's bedroom. You could use a black painted woods, or a darker stain. Pottery barn also has some adorable fabric patterns for boys that still have that cottage charm without being feminie. If you can't afford Pottery barn, look at their website or catalog for ideas, then shop around. Target has alot of similar items for less.

If your son is old enough (not a baby), decorate around his interests, and allow him some input on what goes in his room. That doesn't mean he has to have cartoon character sheets and bedding, and wall posters. It does mean he can have things he likes, and enjoys in his room.

Have fun!

Kids have their own ways of beating up furnture to make it shabby natuarally, so I'd go for sturdy and functional with their rooms, and do the common areas in the style you want. You can surely go for the understated look in their rooms, but perhaps tans, greens and neutrals for the boys might be more appropriate than pastels, though of course green can be a pastel. Entire houses are rarely done completely in one style so you should have no trouble mixing things up.

Answer 4

yeah i dont think id do anything to the boys rooms, just the common rooms / areas of the house. the shabby chic style would be a little feminine in a boys room.

Answer 5

If you want to decorate your house in that style, that's fine. However, you should let your boy pick the way he wants to decorate his own room. What boy wants pastels and flowers?? His room is private and guests will not be going into it, so let him decorate it in the style he chooses. Worry about the rest of the house and leave his room alone.

Answer 6
