Thomas the Train Decor for a Boy's Room

 

Thomas the Tank Engine is wildly popular among toddler, preschool and Kindgergarten boys. While they've recently added a few girl trains, most of the train toys and the stories are centered around male characters. Boys love the trains, can name them and will watch any Thomas DVD or listen to any Thomas book. If your little boy loves Thomas, trains or transportation, decorate his room with Thomas decor. Boys love little things that go, and the bright colors and happy smile of Thomas will be a welcome sight at play time or bed time. Start with a warm white for the walls, or light but not pastel blue.

Thomas the Train Bed

It's not a toy, but it sure is fun. Little boys will love sleeping in their cozy coach car, thanks to Thomas the Tank Engine. Boys ages three to six are the biggest Thomas fans. If you're considering a new bed for your son, he will love this one.

Bright Lamp

A Thomas lamp with primary colors will brighten the decor in any boy's room. Use the lamp on a night table or near a reading chair. With a red base, the lamp can be used in an older boy's room when he outgrows Thomas. Use a plain shade in gray for a modern look. The lamp could also be used in any room with a transportation theme.

He'll use it on his bed, while cuddling up with you for book time, or as a picnic blanket on the floor. The throw is also a soft piece you could hang on a wall, like a tapestry. For the price, it's better than painting a more permanent mural. If you have twins or boys close in age, be sure to buy one for each because this is one thing they may not be willing to share.

Add small touches of Thomas around the room with a series of Thomas the Tank Engine photos. Include photos of mom, dad, grandparents and siblings. Hang on the walls, or leave within reach for older kids.

Immerse your son in Thomas with a wallpaper border that will brighten any little boy's bedroom. The range of colors in the wallpaper border will work with plain walls or blue walls. With so many colors in the border, you can mix and match your window treatments and bedding. The colors are lively and cheery, perfect for a perky little boy.

While not a Thomas light switch, a train shaped light switch will complete any Thomas the Tank Engine bedroom for a little boy. Often neglected, the light switch plate is one small detail that elevates the bedroom decor to the next level of fun.

Thomas the Tank Engine has a warming and familiar face. When the curtains are drawn for bedtime or nap time, Thomas will be smiling back at your boy, lulling him into a comfortable slumber. The curtains add a nice burst of blue to any Thomas the Tank Engine bedroom or playroom.

A soft blanket adds a layer of warmth to your little boy's bed. The blanket could also be used as a travel blanket in the car if your family takes road trips. Pack along the blanket when visiting relatives or staying overnight in a hotel, to give your little boy a piece of home when you travel.

Complete your son's Thomas the Tank Engine themed bedroom with a reasonably-priced comforter. The comforter is lightweight enough to be used most of the year, and warm enough for the colder months.

He'll love playing with Duncan, Harold and Thomas on his very own Thomas & Friends Shaped Area Rug. He can even sit on it and take an imaginary train ride through Sodor.
