Boys bedroom mini makeover

My biggest boy (he’s 12 and a half) got a makeover in his bedroom this week. Here’s a video with me pulling it together (hospital corners please)!

And here’s the final result (for now!). I am always changing and fiddling with things… We’re doing very simple walls in this room. He doesn’t want too much fuss and I refuse to paint feature walls. On the reverse wall (which you can’t see) he has shelves with his TV, medals, trophies and his special things.

I put a little sneak preview on on Instagram and Facebook yesterday and you’re dying to know where I bought some of these goodies from…

Doona cover – Logan and Mason
Crosses Blanket – Adairs
Yay banner – Etsy
Hand on sideboard – Typo
Letter C – Typo
Skull cushion – Etsy
Name cushion – Hampsons Homewares
Geometric cushion – Spotlight
Grey sheet set – Spotlight
Cactus – Bunnings
DIY Cage light – tutorial and details here
DIY pallet bedhead
Orange chair – painted in Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (Barcelona Orange)
Light shade – DIY & fabric here
Antlers – gift

I must admit I am really loving his room. He’s been begging me for anything “orange” for months. It’s his favourite colour. Happy kid now 🙂

What a fabulous bedroom, Katrina! I love the orange. We painted our dining room orange 8 years ago and people thought we were crazy! I still love it now. Can I ask if the bed is a double or king single? Thanks.

That is an amazing boys bedroom! Looking for inspiration for my own son & happened to come across your blog. Love your house, just wondering if there is a copy of the floorplan on the blog, or did you design this house yourself?! Thanks.

Katrina,
I love this bedroom makeover! Loving the colour orange and the crosses blanket.
Could you do a blog post on bedspreads for couples (mid 20’s)? I’m finding it hard to find a new doona cover that isn’t too feminine for my other half, yet still stylish. Would love a new doona for our dark, chunky wood bed in a room with navy carpet.
Thanks!!
