Create a Personalized "Boy Cave" for Your Young Man

With the popularity of "man caves," your young man is sure to appreciate a private retreat of his own. Create it with his help–or surprise him with a cool new space of his own.

First, how does he use his space: to play? To hole up with video games or his computer? Is it just a restful place to sleep or a multi-purpose space?

Color always livens up a room. What are his favorites? Even if you can't paint the walls, bring in color with bedding, lamps, and other decor–like wall decals!

Think about his interests. For the boy who likes cars (or the boy who wants to keep sister out of his room!) check out the lively "Boys Only" wall sticker above. Does he have collections? Baseball hats, trains, shells, rocks, action figures–display these on the walls or in clear containers. He'll take pride in seeing his special things.

Keep to your budget by shopping at thrift shops or rummage or garage sales. Repaint an old dresser a fresh new color. Special drawer pulls are always a fun touch (nautical, cars, animals)–so many ways to personalize that old dresser.

Check out the themes at digsdigs.com. Whether he's into astronauts, cowboys, cars, boats, music, or sports, you'll find ideas there. Make his retreat patriotic, or channel a pirate ship, or even a tree fort. There are so many wall decals to carry through with your theme. Don't forget the growth chart wall sticker so you can monitor how quickly your little boy is growing up!



We also have some great sports related wall decals! These would be ideal for that young man who really cares about nothing but sports.

Have fun giving your boy or young man a special place that reflects who he is and what he likes.
