His own TV turns your boy's room into a movie theater.
When you're decorating a boy's bedroom with a movie theme, the first step -- and the most important -- is to choose a movie that he loves. It has to be something that he'll keep loving for a while if the room's decor is going to be completely based on it. Choosing one movie, franchise or theme is the best way to ensure that the room has a cohesive design. Once you do, you can start creating a space perfect for play, sleep or even watching his favorite flicks. Does this Spark an idea?
Superhero City
If your little guy can't resist the epic adventures of silver screen heroes like Spider-Man, Batman, Green Lantern and Thor, a superhero-themed bedroom will capture his imagination and make him feel like he could save the world any day of the week. Look to his favorite movies for inspiration and, using the images from comic books as a guide, paint a wall mural depicting his heroes in action. Decorate the walls with a geek-chic style that's kid-friendly -- display action figures proudly on shelves or hang replica props like Captain America's shield as art.
Sleeping in Space
Decorating your boy's bedroom with a sci-fi movie theme can make every nap feel like a trip to the final frontier. If he loves space adventures like "Star Wars" and "Star Trek," this bedroom could be an astronomical hit. Give the room a sleek, monochromatic, futuristic look with glass and steel accents. If you're handy in the wood shop, building a few simple attachments for the bed can transform it into a spaceship from his favorite movie, making every bedtime an adventure. For wall art, hang photos of starry night skies in porthole-shaped frames to make it look like his room is floating in space.
Wizard's Study
You might not be able to send your boy to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the "Harry Potter" films, but you can make his bedroom feel magical with the right decorations. With a little decorative magic, you can transfigure his bedroom into Harry Potter's dormitory. Decorate with Harry's house colors of dark red and gold for an authentic feel. Fill the room with props that evoke movie memories. For example, display a small owl cage, a steamer trunk embossed with your boy's initials and a wall scroll with the Hogwarts school seal on it.
Private Screening Room
A movie-themed bedroom doesn't have to be just for looks -- it can also be a place for your boy to enjoy watching his favorite movies. Giving him a comfy, private space to settle in for a movie can give you a little more peace and quiet around the house, so deck out his room with a small television and a DVD player. Instead of decorating with a specific theme, finish off this room with a generic, inclusive theme that celebrates his love of all movies -- decorate with art inspired by movie theaters, like pieces showcasing film reels, popcorn and spotlights.
