The furniture are oak with orange details. How to decorate the kid's room with a theme?

ADVICE

Reader's question:

“I have a 6 years old son and I am planning to renovate his room. I have already purchased the bed, the bookcase, the office, the drawer and an office chair, all in discount. The chair has Mickey Mouse patterns. The furniture are natural oak with orange details. My first concern is that the room will look girly or will have a baby style. I want your opinion on the colors and on how to decorate the room with a theme (pirate theme).”

Our answer:

Orange is a light and intense color and is neither for girls nor for boys. So, the room won't look girly. 

If the space is light enough you can use a darker color. An excellent choice is a dark blue tone. So we propose you the following color scheme.

- Paint the walls grey (a light tone)

- Highlight a large surface by painting it blue (a dark tone)

- Add orange details (you already have the furniture)

The dark blue is the color of the deep ocean and will harmonize the power and intensity of the orange. You can build on this color to create a pirate theme. For example you can arrange on the wall, several decals with pirate figures, ships, flags or place a large treasure map in the center of the wall. In the market you'll find plentyof wall decals.

Further, you can add decorative items, like a pendant light, pillows, sheets inspired by pirate stories and legends.
