Fun and Functional: Designing a Boy's Room with Our Bedding Collection

Plaid Bedding Set Blue + Mustard from Ever Lasting

Designing a boy’s room can be a fun yet challenging task for parents, caregivers, or anyone tasked with creating a space that is both stylish and practical. Boys, like all kids, have unique tastes and personalities that evolve quickly, so a room that balances comfort, functionality, and style is key. One area that plays a significant role in this design is the bedding. Bedding not only sets the tone for the entire room but also contributes to the overall functionality and comfort of the space. At Ever Lasting, we understand the importance of combining fun and functionality in a boy’s bedroom, and we offer a wide range of bedding collections that meet both these needs.


Whether you’re designing a room for a young child or a preteen, the right bedding can bring together color, comfort, and creativity. In this blog, we’ll guide you through how to design a boy’s room with our bedding collection, highlighting key elements such as color schemes, fabric choices, functionality, and practical tips to create a space that both parents and kids will love!

1. Choosing the Right Color Palette

One of the first decisions in designing a boy’s room is choosing a color palette for the bedding, as it will play a central role in setting the room's mood and energy. Traditionally, boys' rooms often feature shades of blue, but that doesn't mean you’re limited to just one color. With our boy's room collection, you have a wide range of options to create a room that feels vibrant, soothing, or even adventurous!


  • Classic and Cool: Navy, slate gray, or a soft teal can create a calm, classic feel in the room. These shades are versatile, pairing well with accents of white, mustard, or orange to add a pop of color without overwhelming the space. Navy and gray also work well in a room designed to grow with the child, as these colors easily transition as they age.

  • Bold and Bright: For a room that is full of energy, try integrating brighter colors like red, orange, or yellow. These colors can be especially striking in patterns like stripes, polka dots, or geometric designs—perfect for a fun and lively atmosphere. A bold color scheme can help infuse the room with personality and create a sense of adventure.

  • Nature-Inspired: If your child has an interest in nature, sports, or the outdoors, consider a palette inspired by earthy greens, sandy beige, or rich browns. Green and brown tones can bring a fresh, natural vibe to the room while adding a playful touch with fun prints like dinosaurs, trucks, or animals.

  • Neutral and Versatile: Neutral tones like soft gray, beige, and white are always in style and provide flexibility as your child's interests evolve. These shades allow you to play with colorful throw pillows, blankets, and artwork, easily changing up the look without investing in entirely new bedding.

No matter the color scheme, it’s important to keep in mind the balance between fun and functional. With Ever Lasting's range of high-quality cotton and sustainable linens, you can achieve a look that suits your child’s personality while also ensuring the bedding remains comfortable and long-lasting.

2. Selecting the Best Fabrics for Comfort and Durability

When designing a boy’s room, it’s essential to focus not only on style but also on comfort and durability. Kids’ bedding takes a lot of wear and tear, from spills to nightly tosses and turns, so choosing fabrics that can withstand it all is crucial. Here at Ever Lasting, we specialize in offering high-quality, long-lasting materials that maintain their softness and integrity even after frequent washes.


Cotton: The Classic Choice

Cotton is a timeless bedding fabric known for its softness, breathability, and ease of care. Whether it's a crisp, cool cotton or a cozier, brushed cotton option, you can count on cotton to deliver comfort without compromising on durability. For a boy’s room, cotton is ideal because it’s natural, hypoallergenic, and gentle on sensitive skin—perfect for a child who has outgrown their toddler years and is transitioning into a full-sized bed.

Our cotton bedding collection also includes options like washed cotton —a fabric that is pre-washed for a super soft, lived-in feel. Washed cotton is incredibly comfortable and low-maintenance, making it perfect for a busy child's room where laundry tends to pile up quickly!

Linen: A Cool, Durable Option

If you want bedding that not only feels luxurious but is also practical for the warmer months, linen is an excellent choice. Linen is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps keep your child cool and dry as they sleep. We offer a range of linen bedding that gets softer with every wash, making it an ideal option for boys who love to jump, play, and get dirty, but still want to crawl into a comfy bed at the end of the day!

Tencel: The Eco-Friendly, Cooling Fabric

Tencel (also known as Lyocell) is another excellent choice for bedding, particularly in a boy’s room. Not only is Tencel incredibly soft and cooling, but it’s also environmentally friendly, as it’s made from sustainably sourced wood pulp. Its silky smooth surface helps regulate body temperature and wick moisture, making it a great option for kids who sleep hot or have sensitive skin. Plus, Tencel's hypoallergenic properties ensure that your child won’t be bothered by any fabric irritation, even on the most restless nights.

3. Bedding Styles for Every Age

As kids grow, their tastes and needs change, so it’s important to select bedding that works for both their current interests and can adapt as they get older. With a variety of designs, you can find bedding that suits a wide range of ages and styles in our collection.


Elementary to Preteen: Bold and Personalized

As boys get older, they often start developing their own unique sense of style. For this age group, consider bedding that reflects their personal interests. Ever Lasting offers versatile options with a variety of patterns and colors, so you can choose bedding that makes the room feel like a true personal retreat.


At this stage, it’s also a great time to start layering different textures and adding functional pieces, like pillows, patterned throws, or a cozy quilt. Neutral-colored bedding with bold accent pillows or a bright throw blanket can help create a stylish, age-appropriate look that grows with them.


Teenagers: Mature and Stylish

For teens, the bedding style often shifts towards something more mature and streamlined. Bedding in darker tones, minimalistic patterns, or subtle textures works well in a teen's room. Our cotton bedding offers a polished, modern look that appeals to older boys, while still being comfortable and durable enough for everyday use.


At this age, it's also important to think about practicality. Opt for materials like Tencel or linen for temperature regulation, ensuring your teen sleeps comfortably year-round. Bedding that is both chic and functional can help create a room that feels like a personal sanctuary!

4. Functional Additions to Complete the Room

In addition to the bedding itself, a boy’s room can be enhanced with functional elements that make it both practical and stylish. Here are a few ideas for incorporating these elements:

  • Storage Solutions: Keep the room tidy and organized with smart storage options like under-bed bins, shelves, or a storage bench. Ever Lasting offers coordinated fabric storage bins, but you can also opt for baskets in a color that will match your bedding, making it easy to keep toys, books, or clothes organized.

  • Lighting: Add fun lighting options like a statement lamp or LED string lights that complement the bedding. Choose lighting that is practical yet playful, adding ambiance and a bit of personality to the room.

  • Personalized Touches: Don’t forget to add personalized elements like monogrammed pillowcases or a wall print featuring your child’s favorite quote or hobby. These small touches can help create a sense of ownership and pride in their space.
