subject: Childs Room Decorating - Baseball [print this page] Baseball is a sport which most little boys enjoy. Hitting a ball with a bat and watching it go far and running all those bases is great exercise, so why not make that their theme in their bedroom? Yes, you can in fact make a great baseball theme room for your child no matter their age, toddler to teen. There are just a few rules which you need to make this room a great entertainment area for their friends.
Build a simple dug out by fastening together three pieces of plywood and attaching to the wall. Paint with home team colors and slide the bed inside the dug out. This disguises the bed so that it does not detract from the theme of the room. It also adds a personal touch that will relax your child and increase their enjoyment of the room.
If you aren't a great painter you may want to hire someone who is or even a friend who you know can draw. One wall of course needs to be painted as the bleacher section, one would be the scoreboard area, another is the outfield, and the last could be the dug out which the bed is located on so you can just create more bleacher areas. If you aren't quite sure how to use the scoreboard area, try purchasing chalkboard paint. Your child can draw on this and make it seem as if he's the coach for the team.
Now with a wonderful baseball themed room you can't forget home plate. Instead of placing a painting on the floor try a great white area rug. This will be an awesome addition along with a great warm feeling when you enter. If you're able to find an area rug which is actually shaped into a home run plate that is even better.
Of course you do not want your child playing ball in the house with a real ball and bat, as an accessory get a soft set that will not do damage to your walls or windows. If your child is small you may want to invest in a tee ball stand as well. These will double as accessories and toys, because they will match your theme and be useful. You could use the whole room as a birthday or Christmas surprise and invite a couple of friends for a sleepover. Your child and his or her guests will be amazed.
This is a great design for a baseball lover but if you aren't too artistic in the painting department it may cost a pretty penny. You might have to hire someone to paint the walls which won't be too cheap. So why not make this a great birthday present or even Christmas present for your little guy? He'll always remember that holiday for the rest of his life.
