My son was interested in legos for a long time. He's an adult now. I undersand wanting to make the room for his now stage, but after raising a boy and girl, I think it helps to make the room transitional into an older teen room now. Make the space something that will be able to be made over in a few years into a young adult's room. I think the pictures above from Emily Hurley, the one on the top right and the bottom have that feel. He can have his legos on the shelves now, and books or other items later. With my kid's rooms I always had a lot of shelves.........they collect "stuff" and need a place to display it. Look at Ikea, they have tons of different shelving and storage/cubby options in black, white & different wood-look finishes.

Hi evas1, We are loving teal at the moment too! However once you find another colour, you will want to switch up the paint. This is why we are suggesting you go neutral with the walls (Dulux White exchange half) and accessorising with colour- making it interchangeable as seasons/trends go by. Check out how we style teal and blue! Throws, cushions, velvet bedheads, pillows, bedside lamps, artwork & ottomans are a great way to pack colour into the room.

Zaffa, if you pop down to your local Spotlight store, they have examples of all types of blinds and shutters Great to get an idea of what each look like, various options, pricing, etc, etc. Only, NEVER EVER order shutters from them! I ordered mine from them when building and they took longer than the house to make them! Ended up having to use temporary blinds for months until they arrived. Also, they really let a lot of light in, so not great for kids bedrooms at all! Romans and rollers keep out much more light if you don't want to go down the full curtain with pelmet option. You can also go automatic blinds with rollers if you're concerned about boys touching the blinds too much. Adds around $500 per window I think I was quoted, so depends on your budget. Cannot automate roman blinds apparently. Best of luck in your decision.

I would you for neutral walls and floor and add colour with accessories and toys. This means that the decor can be easily changed as they get older. Perhaps shelves to dispays their treasures, or decorate with some of their own artworks.
