Red Wings Bedroom Ideas

If you or a loved one enjoys the Detroit Red Wings so much that waiting for hockey season seems like an eternity each year, a Red Wings bedroom theme could make the wait more tolerable. A room painted in red and white is quite striking; even more so with a Red Wings logo as a focal point gracing the middle of a red wall. Department stores sell team-licensed merchandise for bedrooms, so everything from bedding, drapes and rugs to clocks and lamps can be purchased to match the Red Wings theme. Team memorabilia can grace the walls, and you can round out the look with standard hockey gear.
  1. Paint and Flooring

    • Bedroom walls painted red and white create an instant backdrop for all your Red Wings memorabilia. Painting all the walls red will visually be a bit too bold for most, especially in a bedroom, so choose one wall to be red and leave the rest white. Another option would be two-tone red and white walls, which will break up the boldness of the red. For an adult, a white carpet might do, but this would quickly get dirty in a child's room. Use red or neutral carpeting for a child's room, or accent the existing flooring with a Red Wings throw rug or puck-shaped rug.

    Decorating the Walls

    • A huge Red Wings logo on a focal point wall will remind you of your favorite team every time you walk into the room. You can project and trace the logo onto the wall yourself or buy a commercially made wall decal. Frame team jerseys to display on the walls, or simply tack them in place in a visually appealing way. Posters, autographed photos, hockey sticks and masks will all display well in a Red Wings-themed bedroom.

    Bedding

    • Red Wings bedding with everything from the comforter to pillowcases, sheets and shams is available online and in stores that sell team merchandise. While this is suitable for a child's room, it could be a bit much for an adult, especially if sharing the room with a partner. Use bedding that's in the team's red and white color scheme but has no logos, if that's the case.

    Completing the Look

    • Display other Red Wings and hockey-related memorabilia in the room to complete the look. Hockey (and Red Wings-specific) lamps are commercially available. You can display pucks, especially those with a team logo, on a nightstand or shelf. A short black ottoman would look like a hockey puck and could be stenciled with the Red Wings logo. Hockey sticks could be permanently attached to closet doors for visual interest, or installed in a way that they act as door handles.
