When it comes to decorating a
bedroom, it is very important to note the individual's taste, so that the room
can have a sense of uniqueness added by the personal touch. Usually, bedroom
themes are inspired by a hobby or a passion, or simply by what makes the person
happy. Some decide to have an animal- or sports-inspired room, while others
would rather keep it simple.
If you have a specific theme in
mind, it can be overwhelming trying to decorate your bedroom properly without
going overboard, so that it looks and feels good without making you feel bored
of looking at the same thing over and over again. If you are passionate about basketball,
for example, you might want this to be demonstrated through your bedroom decor.
In this article, we will provide you with a few home decor ideas for your
basketball-themed bedroom.
Be Inspired by the
Basketball Court
Having an indoor basketball court is a dream
for those who love the sport. Imagine being able to sleep in an area that
resembles this. For those who want to be absolutely extra, you can think about
transforming your bedroom into a whole basketball court. This will only be
achievable if you are able to make such massive changes to your place. The best
floor for a basketball court is the maple indoor hardwood floor. This is what
most professional basketball courts use. You can then draw the lines of the
basketball court as you would see in a professional setting. Obviously, the
dimensions may not be accurate unless you have a massive bedroom, but even if
you have a small place to work with, you can still achieve this amazing
basketball look, which will make you feel like you are sleeping right in the
middle of the court.
Think About the
Subtheme
Yes, we know that the overall theme of your bedroom decor is basketball, but you will need to consider the specific subtheme. For example, do you want your theme to be inspired by your favorite team or just the sport in general? This is important before you start making the changes because it can have an impact on how you proceed with the rest of the decor. Some important decisions that will be affected by this include the color scheme and the decorative pieces you decide to get. Once you have decided on your subtheme, all the decor will start falling into place.
Keep the Furniture
Simple
This tip is for those who do not
want to go overboard on the basketball theme. Certainly, you will be able to
find furniture that resembles the diverse basketball items, such as chairs that
look like deflated basketballs or tables that resemble basketball hoops.
Although these sound like fun, when you have too many different items focusing
on the same theme, it can become overwhelming and make you very tired of the
theme you have chosen. Additionally, if in the future you decide to change the
theme completely, you would have to end up getting rid of all the furniture and
start from scratch. If you keep the furniture simple, you can then focus on
decorating it with basketball-themed items so that it does not look messy.
Invest In
Personalized Bedding
The bed is often the focus of a
bedroom because it is usually the largest piece of furniture and also right in
the center of the room. The bedroom decor experts behind Vision Bedding advise that
investing in personalized bedding is the best way to achieve the personal and
specific look you want for your bedroom. You can choose to have bedding with
pictures of your preferred team, inspirational quotes from your favorite
basketball coach, or even pictures of yourself playing basketball, if this is something
you do. Whatever you choose, it will certainly give your room the basketball
vibe you are looking for.
Go Crazy With Wall
Art
When you are wanting to transform
the look of your bedroom but are not looking for difficult or expensive decor
tips, then this one's for you. The way you decorate your walls
will significantly improve the basketball theme in your bedroom. You can use
wall stickers that reflect your passion for the sport. For example, have some
stickers of basketballs around the walls or an inspiring basketball quote. If
you are okay making permanent changes to your space, then you can paint those things
on the walls yourself or get an artist to do it for you.
Get a Basketball Hoop
If you are looking to decorate
your room with a basketball theme, we are assuming that you enjoy playing the
sport or at least enjoy watching your favorite team play it. One of the best
items you can have in your basketball-inspired bedroom is a basketball hoop.
You can invest in one that is installed on the wall or a portable one that you
can always move around if needed. This will clearly give your room the theme
you want, and it will also allow you to practice a few hoops anytime you want—just
be careful that you do not break other items around the room when doing so.
Display Special
Mementos
Displaying mementos in your room
not only highlights your chosen theme, it also gives your bedroom a personal
touch, since these items are special to you. Some ideas to achieve this include
displaying your trophies if you play basketball, or pictures of you playing or hanging
out with your team. If you do not play, you can display tickets from games you
have attended or items signed by your favorite players, for example. This will
certainly make your room look inspired by basketball, and it is a constant
reminder of the good times you have experienced.
Your room decor says a lot about you, but it also can have a significant impact on how you feel when you're in there. Whatever theme you choose, it should be important to you and make you feel comfortable and happy in your bedroom. If you love basketball and want this to be reflected in your decor, make sure to follow some of the tips discussed above to transform your bedroom completely.
