Black and Navy Boy Room

Sharing is caring!

Designing kid’s rooms is one of my favorite things! I love how you can add a subtle them and get away with it and how each kid gets SO excited about every little thing in THEIR room. This is the first boys room I had ever designed. It started out as a Rustic Toddler Room then transitioned into his Rustic Modern Boys Room. I love how the room turned out and I thought I was done, but the second I hit publish on the room reveal I felt like something was missing. And apparently a lot of readers did too! I got several comments saying how the room needed a little pop of color and for once, I actually agree! I rarely use bold colors, pretty much never, but I am loving navy right now and I thought this was the perfect room to use it in. So here is round two of the reveal with his Black and Navy Boy Room!

Rustic Boy Room Tour

Come take a tour of this rustic boys room with navy black and white decor! Love all the vintage touches and fun accents.

The funny thing is, when we moved into this home one of the things I was most excited about was finally decorating a little boys room. In our old home, my son had a gender neutral nursery and this was my chance to dive into the world of boy decor. I had always envisioned a little boys room with navy and white striped curtains, but one thing led to another and I ended up going an entirely differently direction and doing a Rustic Brown and White Boy Nursery. And here we are three years later, after many different room variation, back to the navy and white striped curtains I envisioned all along. Ha!

Land of Nod Plush camp fire set! Such a cute rustic boys room for any age!

In addition to adding some blue, I wanted to add a little more texture and layers as well. In my last big set of updates, I installed a wall-to-wall carpet rug to give the room a whole new bold look! I love the look of layered rugs, so I added a natural jute round rug for a little more dimension and texture. It also made for the perfect place to put his adorable plush fire pit :)

An adorable reading nook for a little boys room! Such a cute wooden farmhouse sign with a church pew bench and industrial light!

I found all of these fun pillows at HomeGoods! They always have a million pillows and I typically have good luck finding them there!

I always think that changing the ceiling lights can make a huge impact in a room, I think it really brings the whole look together. This one was just $115 and completes the industrial look.

Modern Farmhouse Boy Bedding

Adorable modern farmhouse bedding for a boy room! Love this oversized gray tufted headboard with leather pillows and lots of texture.

On his bed area, I added just a hint of blue along with a red throw blanket. And those leather pillows are still my favs!

I still love this bed! I went on the hunt for a long time for a bed that I was going to love for this space and that would grow with him and I think it’s still perfect.

I can honestly say, this room is 100% finished and I’m so excited about it! I’m glad I took the extra step and added some blue and red to really finish off the room. What do you think?

    What boy would not love that room, hey, I love it and as far as I know am not a boy. Have decorated boys rooms in my time but don’t think I had as much fun as you did. Oh the stories could tell about youngest son, nicknamed “Tasmanian devil” and he earned every bit of it. What a kid.

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
