Monday Redesign: Toddler Boy Room

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. My son is such a delight to hang out with that my head is spinning with fun toddler boy room ideas. {He is 20 months old}. So I'm here today with a toddler boy room redesign.

Toddler boy room redesign



And now for a breakdown of the goodies:




  1. The color scheme I choose was blue, gray, yellow and white.  It's clean and fun and it seems like a toddler boy could grow with this for quite sometime.  {I always try to design for 5-7 year stints as I'm usually ready for a change about then}.  It's very hard to keep a children's room timeless as items they are digging at 18 months will likely be different from items they like at age 5.  However, many elements in this room are timeless as I tried to keep it that way.   The color the the walls is Sherwin Williams Manitou Blue SW6501.

  2. These window treatments tie the entire color palette together and I love them!

  3. This bedding comes from Serena & Lily and they have a great soothing feel to them.  The bedding itself is timeless as they have solid colors mixed with nice patterns.

  4. I like pops of color in children's rooms and this chair serves just that purpose.  Right at this time, we are dealing with time outs and we need a place other than our son's bed {I don't want him to dislike his "big boy" bed} so this chair is perfect. I'm okay with him hating a $13 chair.

  5. This rug has a slight pattern and is a perfect foundation for this toddler room.  I like it in the 5x7 size, but this would ultimately depend on the size of your room.

  6. Every toddler room needs a place for toys.  This 9 cube organizer shelf is perfect!  We actually already have this in my sons room and I love it.  I use the cubbies to store clothes and shoes, and the open shelves are perfect for toy and book storage.  I suggest covering the shelves with 12x12 paper {Click here to see how it looks- I just used a glue gun and adhered it to the provided backing}.  I suggest using gray fabric drawers and yellow paper with a slight pattern to give it depth and texture.

  7. I found this wall art in Modern Pop's shop on Etsy.  I think it compliments this room perfectly and seriously, who doesn't love owls?


What do you think?  Is there anything you would add to this boy toddler room?

I love the color scheme. It can easily adjust as he ages and moves to different stages of childhood. Two things I would add: more storage. I can never have enough storage in my kids' room. The other thing I would add is a toddler sized table for drawing, racing trucks, reading or whatever. Having one in my kids' bedrooms came in VERY handy.

Thanks Katie & Jenn!! Storage is absolutely something you can never have enough of at this age (where do all these toys come from)?? And I love having a table. Right now, we still have a crib and a twin size bed in his room, so when he transitions, this is exactly what will replace it! Such great ideas... thanks for sharing!

Do you remember the name of the curtains and bedding design? Can't find them at Target/Serena & Lily anymore since this post is a few years old. But I'd like to try searching for them online if possible.

I am also interested if you can remember the name of the curtains. Would love to find them!
