Aside from fire truck bedding, there are plenty of other accessories you can add to the room to increase the fun, including a fireman's hat, a hose hanging on the wall, or a fireman's pole. If you are feeling particularly brave, you might even give your boy a siren for his room.

The Bedroom from Outer Space

A great theme for any little boy's room is outer space. You can easily find outer-space and star wallpaper borders and even star and planet decals. You might even look for spaceship or planet templates that you can trace and paint on the walls.

To really make the room look cool, paint the ceiling black and then use glow-in-the-dark paint to add stars and planets to the ceiling. Toss in a couple of Martian stuffed animals, and your little boy will be happily slumbering deep in outer space.

Pirate Themes for Bedrooms

If your little boy is partial to pirates, you can use movies such as Peter Pan and Pirates of the Caribbean as a reference, depending on how old he is. You can start by painting the walls blue to represent the ocean. A pirate ship painted on one of the walls would be an awesome addition, or perhaps an island with an overflowing treasure chest on the shore. With accessories such as nets, portholes, treasure boxes with booty, and a couple of pirate hats, your boy will be ready to hit the South Seas.
