Many little boys are crazy about cars. If your son is going to be a future racing car driver, give him a room that will inspire him. A race car theme is a fun and creative way to brighten up the décor and to introduce a feeling of excitement and adventure into the room.

Decorating Ideas

Colors (shown here from Benjamin Moore) should be bright and bold. But you don’t have to stick to “racing” colors like red, yellow and green.

He’s going to need somewhere to sleep. For a toddler’s racing themed bedroom, the Little Tikes Lightning McQueen Roadster Toddler Bed would be perfect. A typical toddler’s bed will use a crib mattress rather than a twin size mattress.

Dress the bed in something racy like the Dream On Me featuring Disney’s Cars 4-Piece Toddler Bedding Set.

The Elite Products Locker 3 Tier Single-Drawer Nightstand with 2 Open Shelves has colors that match both the bed and the bedding chosen for the toddler bed.

Storage for toys, games and other stuff is important in a toddler’s room. Because the color scheme is perfect, the Early Childhood Resources 4 Pack Stackable Storage Trunks with Casters for Kids will be a great addition to the room. It will also be a great place for your child’s pit crew to store their gear as well. These storage bins have the added benefit of being mobile, which is another plus.
