How to Design a Boy's Room With a Fishing Theme

Paint the walls of the fishing-themed room. Use hues of beige and brown to give the room a cabin-like appeal, or go for something like pale blue to mimic the appearance of sparkling water. Devote one wall to a fishing-themed mural. or make one wall a nature-related accent color such as navy blue or forest green.

Add bedding, curtains and upholstery. Choose fabrics with different types of fish and angler-related objects for a high-detail room. Pick solid masculine colors, such as burgundy and chocolate brown, if you prefer an understated appearance. Opt for matching patterns, regardless of style, to keep a sense of continuity throughout. Accent the bedding with pillows in the shape of fish.

Add accents to the room. Line a shelf with antique fishing reels. Mount fishing poles on the wall, using one as a curtain rod. Place a tackle box on the boy’s desk to use as an organizer. Hang oars above the bed in a crossed pattern. Hang framed pictures of the boy’s prize catches and scenic natural settings on the walls.

Incorporate a rustic theme into the furniture selection. Use a log bed frame, plain wood dresser and nightstand for a fishing cabin feel. Create custom furniture pieces, such as a headboard in the shape of a fish or a fish-shaped desktop for a room design that goes all-out.

Accent the floors, if they are made from hardwood or tile. Paint a border around the floor with a pattern that involves a fish shape. Place a fish-shaped accent rug at the foot of the bed or in the center of the room.
