Bold Tween Boys Bedroom - Darling Darleen

Moving into our new house, I knew I needed to get my boys room in tip top shape sooner than later.What I knew before I began was that I wanted to change up my boys room from our last house, while still using the same furniture and elements.

Bold Tween Boys Bedroom - Darling Darleen
Since it’s the first bedroom you see at the top of the stairs, I wanted the room to be a bold tween boys bedroom with some fun styling like the plaid wallpaper.

I also wanted the bedroom to have a cleaner and more sophisticated look, so that’s why I went with the bold, dark gray Benjamin Moore paint called Amherst Gray.

William's Bedroom

It’s been nearly two years since we moved into our house and we’ve almost completed William’s room!I love the French blue of the bedding, the monogram pillows and blankets, and the pop of orange on the pillows and lamp.

We change the books frequently and he loves looking up to see what books are there to read at nap time and bed time.Kid-size armchairs are at the foot of each bed and they make the perfect place to snuggle in and read.

We thought that the boys would be sharing a room, so we did two twin beds, but Henry really likes to sleep in his big bed in his own room.

My Boys' Shared Bedroom

A dark toddler bedroom turned into an awesome shared boys room with coastal touches of navy, gray and white.The BeforeMy 5 year old son’s room was the last space in our house to remain untouched since buying this house over 4 years ago.

But I was SO desperate to have a navy blue wall somewhere…anywhere in the house, that I went with an accent wall in here.Both of the older boys are amazing sleepers and I value my sleep too much to mess with that right now!
