Inspiration Board - The Navy Boy's Bedroom


I was thinking today that I have never seen a boy's bedroom with a canopy bed, nor have I ever seen a boy's bedroom with Chinoiserie. I Googled it and could not find a single example of either, let alone one with both. I decided to challenge myself and see what I could come up with in an inspiration board.

I started with navy and white striped wallpaper, and added the steel Architecture Bed in navy blue. I think the clean lines are masculine enough for a boy's room, even though it is a canopy.

Chinoiserie elements includes a red pagoda mirror, curtains with navy Greek key trim, and a pair of navy pagoda lamps. The Jonathan Adler zebra rug in the British flag and a red leather wing chair are bold and chic touches. What do you think, can a boy's bedroom include a canopy bed and Chinoiserie? I vote yes.
