I’ve always envisioned that my son's room would be a difficult room to design.
At the beginning of the design process, I asked my son what theme he wanted for his room. Without hesitation, and with a huge smile on his face, he expressed that he wanted a soccer themed bedroom.
My son has been obsessed with soccer since he was 3 years old. He’s been on various teams and watches his favorite teams religiously. I was ecstatic! A million ideas started to form in my head. I wanted to design a space that was unique, special, and of course fun!
I came up with an idea to have his headboard, along with a cool wall mural, as the focal point of the room. A soccer ball sitting in the middle of a soccer field.
I designed the headboard and had it custom made. The mural was purchased online from a company. I gave them the dimensions of the wall, and they custom sized the mural to fit exactly.
I incorporated my son’s favorite team and player into his design, which coordinated nicely with the paint and mural.
Over his locker dresser, I custom ordered a soccer scoreboard, choosing numbers that have a significant meaning to my son. A reading corner was a must, and adding wall ledges are a fun way to display books with easy access.
On the subject of books, we have quite a few collected over the past few years! I wanted to incorporate them into the design, so I color-coordinated the books and used them as design details on each night stand.
And finally, his study area. The hexagon shelf and framed flags were DIY. My son now has his soccer bedroom sanctuary, a place where he can work, play, and spend time surrounded by his favorite things!
