wallpaper borders

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.

 Navy is a wonderful choice for a child's bedroom, especially combined with Chinoiserie. In the room above, Alessandra Branca pairs navy stripes and a Chinoiserie wallpaper. I love the Tory Burch bunk bedroom just below with the navy and white Greek key. Amanda Nisbet pairs navy with pink and Greek key. In the Miles Redd bedroom, I can't recall whether the striped walls are navy, black, or dark brown, but navy and white stripes would be perfect with the light blue and Greek key. The inspiration board by Parklin Interiors has great ideas for combining navy, raspberry, and Chinoiserie in a sophisticated but fun room. My inspiration board for a navy bedroom would work as a teen boy or girl's room or as a guest bedroom.
