Use accents for boys bedrooms that begin with the letter "s" to add true dimension to either of these themes.

  • Accents with an "S" for outer space ideas:

    • Stars

    • Silvery-moons

    • Spaceships

    • Seahorses

    • Seashells

    • Scuba-divers

Ride into the sunset by sweeping a paintbrush across a wall. Create center-lines using paint of a different color and you've got a winding road.
