Ideas for a boy's bedroom in which boys may be boys The only thing that matters for boy bedroom designs is having firearms. In addition, there were skis mounted on the wall, model helicopters perched on high, and ropes used for sailing dangling from the beams. There are no accommodations made here to a society that is working toward gender equality; boy bedroom designs are still obviously intended for boys' rooms: Rough and tumble, sleek, and robust with a fitted appearance. Particularly hardy and robust. Phyllis Feldman, who works as an interior designer in Rockville Centre, asserts that "boys are tougher than females." Consider the Huntington couple Kris and William Folk. Kris is 7 years old, and next week will be William's last week in the "terrible twos" before he turns 3. Both have blue eyes and blond hair, and their winning grins belie the amount of mischief they are capable of. "They get along quite well most of the time, but they do wrestle a lot, and occasionally the furniture gets in the way," said their father, Frank Folk. "Most of the time, they get along pretty well." You are aware of how children behave. Therefore, the Folks needed to come up with a solution quickly after William outgrown his crib the previous year. Due to the fact that the boy bedroom ideas were crammed into a space measuring just 9 feet by 11 feet, there was very limited room for the boys to wrestle or even roam about in the room. The first thing that Folk and Irene, his wife, did was look at bunk beds. However, their height exceeded the limits of the room's sloped walls. The built-ins were then given prices. Too pricey. As a result, Folk, an administrator at a community health clinic, who had never held a hammer in his life, made the decision to handle the work on his own. People came to the conclusion that the best solution would be to construct bunk beds out of solid and durable wood, with the lowest bed lying completely flat on the ground. He shared his thoughts, "I was constantly frightened the small child was going to slip out of his bed." Because the space took on the appearance of a ship's cabin once the firring strips were affixed to the wall, they installed nautical lighting. Irene Folk, a qualified nurse, provided the following explanation: "And then we thought, let's grab a rope for Kris to climb up." The braided rope and shackle were acquired at a nautical supply shop, where the proprietor gave his word that they could support at least one thousand pounds between them. People assured the rope's durability by affixing it to a support beam in the ceiling. The finishing touch was provided by the mother in the form of a sign that was produced on the family computer and hung over the bed. The sign said that "Kris and William dwell here." Folk described the process of developing the concepts for the boy's bedroom as "time intensive, but not too difficult to achieve." It was also quite affordable, with the built-in bunks costing a total of $129 for the whole unit. Using your imagination is essential if you want to come up with boy bedroom ideas that will blow the minds of their pals. According to interior designer Ed Singer, "Children are highly personal," a lesson he's learnt over the years. They need somewhere to store their own belongings. It affords people the impression of having seclusion." A boy's room was designed by Singer and his business partner Wendy Steinhardt of Conceptual Designs Ltd. in Forest Hills for the Mansions & Millionaires Designer Showcase, which is now taking place at Sands Point and will continue through June 1. The partners turned an inconvenient area that was 8 feet by 13 feet into a refuge by adding nooks, crannies, and hiding spots throughout the space. The steps going up to the carpeted loft are constructed out of reinforced Formica boxes carpeted in red. The edges of the boxes are open for storing purposes. "It can be used with a mat for a visitor sleeping over, but I realised it's actually a spot for him to escape to," said Singer. "It can be utilised with a mat for a guest sleeping over in the backyard." A platform supports a daybed that has been upholstered in a grey cloth. It conceals a large triangular shelf that opens up to reveal storage space behind it. And hidden behind that are shelves that have been cut out to accommodate more items. The room is finished off with a built-in desk made of mica and a red chair, as well as a closet made of mica that has mirrored bifold doors and an enclosure made of mica that serves as a closet. Feldman has found that the aesthetics her customers prefer for boys' bedrooms and girls' bedrooms are extremely distinct from one another. She recommends creating "a fitted space" for young males. "You make furniture that is uncomplicated, modern, and functional, like mica; it's something that's straightforward. You have the option of shutters, basic curtains with tailoring, or roll-up shades. You may use beiges, blues, reds, or greys in your design. Girls, you do fussy, you do frilly, you do pastels, you do four-poster beds, you do frills." When it comes to suggestions for male bedroom decor, interior designer Debbie Rogers of Jenissa Designs Inc. in Melville recommends going for a "minimalistic, uncluttered" appearance. Walls, flooring, and furniture should all be painted in a neutral tone, while other colours may be used for accessories and accents.
