Industrial Space Boy’s Bedroom Reveal
My son’s Industrial Space Boy’s Bedroom is being revealed today! I’ve managed to blend the space he wants with industrial elements that match the rest of our home.
I showed you a mood board of my son’s Industrial Space bedroom just recently and today I’m showing you the final reveal! I’ve been tackling most of these projects over some time now and it’s so great to see it finally come together.
I never in a million years thought I’d be putting up a space mural on a bedroom wall in my house but I’ve managed to blend his room with space elements (AKA the huge mural) with industrial items that match the rest of my house. I think it’s a great compromise and he couldn’t be happier!
Both my kids have a thing for super soft things. They want their clothes to be soft and of course all their blankets. The only way my kids will sleep with a duvet and cover is if it’s super soft. So I found this soft chamois at Pottery Barn and I’ll link to it below. They love it!
I made his blackout curtains from a thick striped linen fabric. The ties are just a thick twine to easily open them up and let the light shine though. There are also roll down shades (the same on every window in our house) but for extra light coverage and for decorating aesthetics, the blackout curtains were in order.

This wall is angled so it was the perfect spot to put up some shelving. My son is 9 so he has lots of Lego, kendamas, books and secret safes. Rather than trying to hide it all, it’s all out on display and he change it up how he likes.
We made this space art together and I’ll show you soon how we made it. It was super easy and fun to do a project together.
I found this dresser a couple of years ago on the side of the road. I fixed it up and gave it a makeover. I’ll also show you soon how I gave it such great dark dimension.

I love how his room came together. It’s functional, it has all the elements that my son wanted and it still matches the rest of my house. We’re both so happy about it!

My hubby would love that mural as he’s always wanted to be an astronaut! ha And I have that school desk bought at a garage sale in my younger days. It was painted orange and boyfriend then (hubby now) refinished it one year for Christmas for me. It’s now in my room……..the room looks great and here’s to many years of enjoyment!
Thanks so much, Julie! I’m sure your hubby will love it, haha. I have two schools desks and love them too! What a great Christmas presents!
Hugs, Jamie
Lovely boys room! I’m sure he’s thrilled! Of course I want that French N pillow… and of course it is from Paris. Le sigh.
Isn’t it the cutest pillow ever?! I buy them at the Arc de triomphe gift shop when I go to Paris! lol
Hugs, Jamie
The room has been transformed into a most wonderful room for your son! LOVE the mural…did not know that Home Depot carried them…goes to show you that I do not get past their garden center!…Love that the school desk is serving a dual purpose…a great night stand and seat! Amazing job as always Jamie! So glad that you had a fun project together!
Thanks so much, Shirley! My son just loves his room! I love the ‘night stand’ too 😉
Hugs, Jamie
Oh my goodness – I LOVE how you used the antique desk as a nightstand. I have a similar (the same?) desk that I have to build and I wasn’t sure where I was going to put it – totally copying your idea!!!
Thanks Nicole! Go ahead and copy me 😉
Hugs, Jamie
