Designing a themed room for your child is one of the most fun and personal ways to celebrate their personality, interests, and imagination. But how do you create a space that reflects their current loves, like soccer! Without locking them into a design they’ll outgrow in a few years?
That’s exactly what we did with Cooper’s Soccer Room, and here’s how you can do it too.
⚽️ 5 Steps to Designing a Themed Room That Can Grow With Your Child
1. Start With a Flexible Base
Instead of going bold on every surface, begin with a base that will stand the test of time. In Cooper’s room, we used soft, vertical cloud blue and white stripes to bring playful energy, without feeling too young. The clean palette means we can easily switch up decor as he grows.
2. Add Clear Thematic Elements
Bring the theme to life with easy to change items like wall decals and framed posters. Our Mixed Soccer Ball Wall Decals are peel and stick (and removable!), and we added Cooper’s favourite players Messi, Ronaldo, Ibrahimović, through bold prints. These pieces give the room its fun and sporty energy!
3. Use Colour Layers for Personality
We layered Cooper’s room with a mix of soft blue bedding and a bold pop of yellow (hello, soccer ball cushion!) to keep it feeling young and fun. Choosing linens, cushions, and rugs that echo the theme through colour is a great way to tie everything together without overcommitting to just one look.
4. Personalise the Space
Kids love seeing their name in their room it gives them ownership and pride in their space. We added a wooden script name above the bed and a matching halo sconce for extra personality. These pieces make the room feel special to Cooper and also elevate the aesthetic.
5. Make Room to Grow
By choosing storage and furniture that is simple and stylish (like cube shelving and classic lockers), we’ve made sure the room can evolve. As Cooper’s interests change, the soccer elements can be swapped out while the room still feels fresh.
This space isn’t just a soccer room, it’s a space for Cooper to grow, dream, and be himself. What do you think of Cooper’s Soccer Room? ⚽️🩵⭐️
