What once started as an off-season exercise involving athletes, a ball and a peach basket is now the beloved sport of basketball. The passion for this game runs deep with school leagues fighting for their district win while Olympic players prepare to face global teams. This blog will show you that basketball themed bedrooms are not only for kids but can also be for men’s bedroom. Read on to get an idea how to create the best basketball rooms for every player from first-year walk-ons to star guards.
Decorating With Basketball Themed Decor
The game itself is simple – two teams dribbling the ball across the court to their goal for points. However, there are many ways to bring the game to life in your room using basketball themed decor of all styles and colors.
Having a better play than the other team is arguably the best defense you can have against opposing players. These unique basketball window curtains showing drawn out plays on a court are hung up to remind guests that while basketball is fun, the strategies are serious and no ball gets brought to the hoop without a lot of thought behind how to get it there. It’s also the perfect addition to a black and white themed basketball room, bringing a sense of playfulness to a monotone palette.
As with every team sport, the only difference between your jersey and everyone else’s is the name on the back. Personalizing your decor is another way to bring that team spirit into your bedroom while reminding you that no one could fill that spot or rock that shirt with your last name across the back. Nothing makes a room more personal than having your favorite decor monogrammed!
It’s an exciting time watching teams get new uniforms every now and then because while it doesn’t have much to do with a talent for the sport, it’s entertaining watching the different colors intertwine on the court. This retro basketball theme room uses bright colors and rainbow styles to bring a sense of happy energy into this room. While you might be a professional now, there was once a time when playing the sport was for no other purpose than just having fun, and a room full of stunning colors and graphics may help you remember.
Decor That Will Get The Coach’s Attention
With a few key pointers in mind for how to begin creating a basketball room, it’s also fun to dream up ways of making your bedroom not just stylish, but really unique. A big installation, a unique mural or a framed signed professional jersey you won at an auction are just a few ways you can take your room from a lay-up to a half-court swish.
While you may have logged hours and hours practicing shooting in the basketball goal outside, you can also log style points from bringing that basketball goal into your room as part of your decor. Although it may not work as a practical means of providing indoor shooting practice, having the goal installed in your room shows how serious you are about the game and adds a really unique piece of wall decor to your room.
One way to catch the eye of anyone who walks past is with three-dimensional artwork or fabrics. This 3d basketball bedding seems to literally jump right off of the fabric. Nothing says eye-catching like having your basketball decor look like it’s headed straight for you!
Often overlooked, lockers are a tool used by virtually every single player no matter the skill level. All basketball players are familiar with the locker room from getting pumped before a big game to decompressing after a hard practice. This room employs the goal decor above the bed but also takes the room a step further by setting up the locker furniture, which also doubles as extra storage space.
A surefire way to have a unique, one-of-a-kind room that can’t be replicated by anyone else is to have photos of yourself on your wall. Having a few shots of yourself playing your heart printed on canvas or that photo of you right after winning your first championship on an oversized print can make your room extra unique. Choosing the right picture and having it where you can see it will serve as inspiration and motivation day after day to keep pushing towards all of your basketball dreams.
This cartoon-vibe, old school basketball bedroom starts out with the outdated Brooklyn jersey art printed on the comforter and is followed by retro colors and unique artworks and will appeal to teenagers. While this theme might make you want to jump into a video game, you can use basketball decor to put a fresh spin on any theme or style you like. Mixing this fun and intense sport with something unique like popular colors from the 80s will have you assured that your basketball room is so fresh and unlike anyone else’s.
