Sports fanatics, how do you show your fandom?
People who enjoy sports on all different levels wear around memorabilia. But true spirit shines through when you create a sports themed room!
How to Design an Awesome Sports Themed Room
Whether you want a room dedicated to your favorite team, unique bedroom ideas for your sleeping space, one designed for your boy’s sports room, or a man cave that celebrates sports across the board, you want to add certain elements for a home run design. Keep reading for 4 tips on making the room stand out.
1. Choose Your Canvas
Before you start planning the details, decide on where this will all go down. Some awesome transformation ideas include:
- plain bedroom to boy’s sports room
- den to man cave
- basement to sports bar
- traditional office to a trophy workspace
Once you choose your where and what, you can start designing your dream.
2. Find Your Focus
What theme do you want to focus on? You can choose from a number of options.
The All-Play Option
If you simply love sports and want to create a space where you can watch them and/or display their greatness, you may want to pick a generalized theme to incorporate a little bit of everything. You may find that this works better in a larger room, especially one that breaks into an “L” shape, as it can start to feel cluttered in a smaller space.
Choose a Sport
This option works especially well for a child’s room, as they may really enjoy a sport, but not necessarily love one team quite yet. For instance, you can choose all sorts of soccer room decorations for your little striker! Put the ball in their court and create a cool theme using the sport they love the most.
Exalt Your Team
The die-hard fan will want to make the room a shrine to their team. You can do this by choosing one team, one sport, or by choosing to incorporate all sports for the area. For instance, if you’re a hardcore Minnesota fan, you may include Vikings, Timberwolves, Twins, etc. for your football room decoration.
Praise a Player
Another way to take this is by centering the room around your favorite athlete. You can go old school with Babe Ruth or Michael Jordan, or stay current with Tom Brady or Messi.
3. Pay Attention to Detail
Choose colors that complement the sport or the team you chose for your theme. If you went with the all over sports theme, stick with a neutral wall color.
Once you paint, find amazing memorabilia to grace your walls. Trophy shelves with signed balls and special sports cards will make the room look legit.
Also, consider adding player plaques and even paintings.
4. Include Elements of the Sport
Kick it up a notch by adding some real sports elements! For instance, if you chose a basketball player, team, or theme, mount a hoop that you can really use. If you picked a hockey theme, turn an open floor into the arena, with mini nets built into each end of the wall and little sticks. Make it interactive!
