Whether your child dreams of soaring through space or diving in oceans, you can create an original décor that matches his dreams.

Paint the walls blue for either of these themes in boys bedrooms you choose. Think medium blue as the starting point. For space themes, you'll want to radiate towards darker shades. With aquatic themes, you'll want to go towards the opposite end of the color spectrum and user lighter shades.

Use accents for boys bedrooms that begin with the letter "s" to add true dimension to either of these themes.

• Accents with an "S" for outer space ideas:

  • Stars

  • Silvery-moons

  • Spaceships

• Accents with an "S" for aquatic ideas:

  • Seahorses

  • Seashells

  • Scuba-divers

  Bring the highway home in style with these boys bedrooms ideas fit for any future driver.

  Ride into the sunset by sweeping a paintbrush across a wall. Create center-lines using paint of a different color and you've got a winding road.

  X marks the spot - if you can make an X you can paint a traffic intersection on a wall. Use wall putty to attach small toy vehicles of various kinds. You can even create an entire city street this way.
