If you’re looking for boy's bedroom inspiration, you’ve come to the right place: our kid's bedding collection is an excellent starting point for dreaming up cool bedroom themes. Use fun patterns and vibrant colors to layer a bed your kid will love, then add decorative accents to complete the look. From out-of-this-world ideas to classic color schemes, explore our favorite bedding looks for boys big and small.

An ocean-inspired bedroom is perfect for boys of all ages: pair a striped comforter with solid sheets in colors found on nautical flags—red, blue, white, and yellow. Incorporate maps, anchors, ship’s wheels, and other maritime motifs throughout the room to complement nautical-themed bedding.

If your son has his sights set on outer space, give him a bed worthy of a budding astronaut. Start with star-print sheets, add a kid's comforter or quilt in a cosmic design, and finish with coordinating shams to tie it all together. A solid blanket at the foot of the bed balances busy patterns—and is easy to grab for an extra layer on chilly nights.

Cars, trucks, and construction sites, oh my! Lots of little boys love anything with wheels, so gear up for sleep with car-themed decor and bedding showcasing vehicles of any kind. Opt for a versatile solid comforter, then rotate different car- and truck-print sheets with every wash to keep your kiddo guessing what’s around the next turn.

For kids fond of camping, bedding printed with friendly critters and forest scenes brings the outdoors in. Or, swap playful prints for earth tones in solid bedding better suited for big kids. Nature-inspired layers will keep your kid happy when sleeping under the stars isn’t an option—and a sleeping bag tucked in the corner means he’s ready to go when it’s time to answer the call of the wild.

Design a bedroom that gives your dino lover something to roar about. Choose kid-friendly bedding printed with favorite prehistoric creatures, colorful fossils, and cartoonish interpretations to transform his bedroom. Mix and match coordinating sheets, quilts, duvet covers, or shams for a layered look future paleontologists can’t wait to excavate.

Whether his favorite stories feature superheroes, knights, or pirates, your child can be the hero of bedtime with kid's comforters, duvets, and other bedding inspired by daring adventurers. Layer using bedding in both patterns and coordinating solid colors to create a look that excites without overwhelming, then add a hooded blanket for cozy pretend play and a matching throw pillow to snuggle during storytime.

A monochromatic color scheme creates a sophisticated bedroom for school-age kids. Blue boy's bedding is as classic as it gets, but you can also find color inspiration in any of your child’s favorites, whether that’s sports teams or TV shows. Another option? Design a calming, neutral kid's room with gray, white, and tan tones.

Once the bed is made, add decorative elements to carry the theme throughout the room—a play tent in the corner of a camp-theme bedroom, a solar system model spinning from the ceiling, or framed illustrations of his favorite trucks. And don’t stop there: many of our exclusive prints are available on kids' shower curtains, so you can make bathtime just as fun as bedtime. For more bedding and decor ideas, explore our other Guides.
