A barnyard themed young boy’s room has a rustic charm and appeal that can last until they move on to middle school. It’s a great theme for a child’s room because it involves animals, which can be incorporated into the room in any number of ways, from wallpaper borders to bedding to wall art to floor coverings. If you’re artistic or handy with stencils, you can paint one wall to look like a section of a meadow with grazing cows or horses; the side of a barn; or a vegetable garden as seen from the farmhouse kitchen window. This theme is flexible in terms of furnishing your child’s bedroom; you can pick from a number of styles including rustic, country and Southwestern. 

Color the walls in earth tone colors or deeper toned neutrals like taupe, beige and cream. Use primary colors like sky blue, barn red and sunshine yellow for accent colors. If you prefer to paper the walls, farm theme and farm animal theme wallpaper patterns are readily available. Popular barnyard theme subjects and characters include ducks, cows, horses/foals, chickens, roosters, Babe or Wilbur (from Charlotte’s Web), silos, barns and tractors. Peel and stick wall decals can be used to create a border or mini-mural.

We’ll start furnishing our kid’s bedroom with the twin Powell Dakota Dark Rustic Pine Twin/Full Barn Bookcase Headboard. In addition to its plenty of charm, this bed has the added advantage of providing extra storage. And somewhere to stash treasures is always a good thing in a young boy’s bedroom. Paired with bedding that pops, in reds, warm browns or even dark chocolate, the bed will be an inviting place to sleep, read or just hang out. The Cozy Kids Rodeo 3-Piece Twin Bedding Set is ideal for our barnyard themed bedroom. 

A nightstand that makes the room more functional with drawers and cupboard space is a must. It’s also an ideal place to put a lamp or a night light.
