The Basics of Creating a Baseball Themed Bedroom

Whether you’re decorating for a baby or a teen, the basics of a Baseball Themed Bedroom don’t change. You can go as understated or as over-the-top as you want with the theme, but these basic steps will apply to any age of ball player’s Baseball Themed Bedroom.

Here are the steps to get you there:

Step 1. Choose a Baseball Theme

Are you going with a general Baseball Theme or Sports Theme that can grow with your young child over the years? Or do you have a teen die-hard Boston Red Sox fan that wants *everything Red Sox*. 

Whether you fall at one of these extremes, or somewhere in the middle, it gives you a good starting place when choosing decor.  There are tons of options for general ‘Sports’ or ‘Baseball Themed’ decor on Amazon, Target.com, or Walmart.com. These decor items are great for a baby or toddler room, and in some cases this decor can be repurposed or reused as your child grows. A baseball themed area rug, for instance, can be used in a nursery and later in your big kids’ room as well. When you can, choose decor that can carry you through several years.

If you have an older kid or teen that lives and breathes baseball, and maybe one team in particular, then your theme is very easy. Start to collect posters, ticket stubs, and other memorabilia, and they can continue to use these decor items as they grow. 

Tip: Search Pinterest for Baseball Bedroom Decor Ideas, or check out the There’s No Place Like Home Plate Baseball Bedroom Ideas Board for Inspiration.

Step 2. Set your Budget

Don’t break the bank when making over your kids’ bedroom. Set a budget, look for decor items that fit into that budget, and then stick to your budget.

There are lots of creative ways to get a baseball theme on a budget. Think yard sales, hand me downs from older cousins or neighbors, Ebay, and even your parent’s attic or basement. 

Check out the Budget Tips section for ideas on decorating a baseball themed bedroom on a budget.

Step 3. Decide on a Color Scheme

Incorporating color, whether through wall color or decor, helps solidify the baseball theme.

Choose one or more primary colors to start. The classic baseball colors of red, white and navy blue are timeless and can carry your child’s bedroom from their nursery years to their college years.

Incorporating your child’s favorite team’s colors into your decor is another fun way to bring a baseball theme to life. It would be fun to see a black, orange, white and grey room for an Orioles fan, or a baby blue, burgundy, and white theme for a Phillies fan’s room. 

Once you decide on a color scheme, decide where you will use your chosen colors. Ideas for adding color throughout the bedroom include wall color, accent walls, and decorations.

If you don’t want to commit to a bright wall color, consider going with a greige or beige color (such as Benjamin Moore’s popular ‘Balboa Mist’) as the backdrop. It will make it easy to bring in color through wall decor. 

Tip: Benjamin Moore paint has several online tools for envisioning how a color will look in your room, and it will also suggest coordinating colors. Check out the tools here.

Step 4. Select Furniture

Select furniture for your kid or teen that is functional and will last for years to come. Give them a place to sleep, a place to study, and a place to hang out, read, or game. Here are some ideas for incorporating a baseball theme into furniture:

Headboard: DIY a headboard with a painted baseball or use reclaimed wood to give a rustic ballpark feel.

Storage: Use lockers or storage bins that resemble those found in a locker room.

Seating: Choose a chair set that fits the baseball theme, perhaps with baseball stitching patterns or a vintage look. Or just go with a comfortable bean bag chair and add baseball themed throw pillows.

Step 5. Choose Bedding

The most important part of any bedroom is the bed! Make the bed a comfortable place for your child to read, study, and drift off to sleep and dream those big league dreams.

Select basic or baseball themed sheets, pillow cases and blankets. Here are some ideas for incorporating a baseball theme into the bedroom:

Comforter/Sheets: Pick bedding with baseball patterns or MLB team logos, or a solid comforter in one of your kid’s favorite team colors.

Pillows: Add baseball-shaped throw pillows or ones with jersey designs.

Blankets: Consider a cozy blanket that looks like a baseball field or a jersey blanket.

Step 5. Add Finishing Touches

Accessories like wall decor and memorabilia will strengthen the baseball theme and give your kids’ bedroom that completed look. Here are some ideas for adding finishing touches to a baseball themed bedroom:

Baseball Mural: Apply a large mural of a baseball field, a famous stadium, or a baseball scene on one wall. Fatheads makes large decals of every MLB team and stadium. 

Wall Decals: Use removable decals of baseballs, bats, and players in action. You can also find decals of your child’s favorite team’s logo.

Stripes or Patterns: Consider painting horizontal stripes or a diamond pattern to mimic the look of a baseball field.

Gallery Wall: Create a gallery wall with framed baseball memorabilia, posters, and photos of favorite players or teams.

Rugs: Choose a rug that looks like a baseball field, a ball, or with a simple stripe pattern resembling a baseball bat.

Curtains: Use curtains with baseball patterns or team colors.

Lighting: Install a baseball-themed ceiling light or desk lamp. Look for fixtures shaped like baseballs, bats, or gloves.

Wall Hooks: Use bat or glove-shaped wall hooks for hanging hats or jackets.

Shelves: Install floating shelves to display trophies, baseballs, and other memorabilia.

sales, and your parent’s basement and attic to find unique vintage items like old baseball cards, posters, ticket stubs, and more.

Smart Budget Tips

Bedroom makeover projects don’t need to be expensive. Setting and keeping a budget for your renovations is a smart practice. Incorporating vintage and secondhand baseball memorabilia is a timeless and budget friendly way to get a Baseball Theme on a budget.

Here are some tips and tricks that may help you keep your kids bedroom decor project budget friendly:

• DIY: Use DIY projects to save money, like making your own wall art or creating a headboard from old wooden bats. Search Pinterest for DIY projects.
• Ebay is full of vintage and secondhand treasures that can be incorporated into your kids’ baseball room decor. I’m a huge Phillies fan and Ebay has tons of options for vintage 1970’s and 1980’s Phillies memorabilia at very low prices. Ebay is a great way to obtain vintage bobbleheads, pennants, and posters at a budget friendly price.
• Decorate with items you already own. Think the ‘leftover’ cards in a pack of baseball cards, free giveaways from Minor League or MLB games, posters, jerseys, and souvenir stickers. Get creative and find new ways to display this memorabilia, or just pin it to a pinboard. For ideas and tips on displaying baseball memorabilia, check out this post. 
• Consignment or charity shops that also stock housewares (like Goodwill) are sure to have quilts, curtains, and decor items at bargain prices. Check carefully for wear and tear, and make sure to clean well once you get the items home. 
• Your Parent’s Attic – Has your husband or father in law been a lifelong baseball fan? Search their childhood attic or basement for old posters, ticket stubs, baseballs, baseball hats, and more. Incorporate these elements into your kids’ baseball bedroom decor for a unique, fun and personalized element. More importantly, this decor is completely FREE!
• Craigslist is a treasure trove of reasonably or cheaply priced secondhand furniture. Over the years, we’ve found excellent quality pieces of used Pottery Barn or Ethan Allen furniture, bought for hundreds of dollars less than if we had purchased new. Don’t sleep on this resource for local secondhand furniture! Also check out other local offerings on Facebook Marketplace.

Don’t overlook creative ways to decorate your kid’s bedroom! Incorporating DIY, secondhand, and vintage items gives your kids’ room a unique, curated look while keeping your decorating budget in check. 

Age Specific Bedroom Ideas and Inspiration

Baseball Nursery Ideas

Decorating a baby’s bedroom with a baseball theme can create a playful and charming space that celebrates America’s favorite pastime. Start by choosing a color palette that evokes the spirit of baseball: classic reds, whites, and blues. You can paint the walls in a soft, neutral color and add a feature wall adorned with baseball-themed wallpaper or decals, like bats, balls, and players. For a more subtle approach, you could paint stripes or a mural of a baseball diamond. 

Incorporate baseball elements into the bedding with crib sheets and blankets featuring baseball patterns or embroidered motifs. Throw pillows shaped like baseballs or adorned with baseball stitching add a whimsical touch.

Furniture and accessories can further enhance the theme. Opt for a crib and dresser in a classic wooden finish to complement the sporty look. Consider adding a rocking chair for a cozy reading nook, upholstered in fabric with a baseball print or decorated with cushions in the same theme. Hang framed prints of famous baseball players or vintage baseball posters on the walls. You could also display a shelf with baseball memorabilia, like miniature bats, balls, and gloves. 

Finish the look with a rug that resembles a baseball field or has a simple diamond pattern, and use playful lighting, such as a baseball-shaped lamp or a pendant light resembling a baseball cap. This cohesive and charming design will create a delightful and engaging environment for your baby.

Big Kid to Tween Baseball Bedroom Ideas

Creating a baseball-themed bedroom for a tween involves blending a sporty aesthetic with elements that reflect their growing independence and style. Opt for a color scheme that incorporates deep, mature tones like navy blue, grey, and white, adding pops of red to echo a classic baseball vibe. 

Use wall decor strategically: consider a feature wall with a large, vintage-style baseball mural or framed memorabilia from their favorite team, like jerseys or signed baseballs. Bedding and pillows can be updated to more sophisticated patterns, such as pinstripes or subtle baseball-themed designs. 

Functional yet stylish furniture, such as a desk with a chalkboard surface for jotting down notes or baseball-themed handles on drawers, can offer both utility and charm. Personalize the space with accent pieces like a bedside lamp shaped like a baseball bat, a bean bag chair in their team’s colors, or a display shelf for their growing collection of baseball cards and trophies. This approach ensures a space that celebrates their love for the game while catering to their evolving tastes and needs.

Teen Baseball Bedroom Ideas

Designing a baseball-themed bedroom for a teen should balance their passion for the sport with a sense of maturity and personal style. Begin with a sophisticated color palette, perhaps focusing on sleek grays, navy blues, and crisp whites, with subtle hints of their favorite team’s colors. 

For the walls, consider modern touches like a large-scale mural of a baseball stadium or custom wall decals featuring iconic baseball moments. Incorporate furniture that is both functional and stylish, such as a sturdy bed with a headboard crafted from reclaimed baseball bats or a desk designed to resemble a locker. 

Bedding and pillows can include understated baseball motifs, like stitching patterns or team logos, but keep them subtle to avoid an overly juvenile look. Accentuate the room with memorabilia that reflects their favorite team or players, displayed in shadow boxes or on shelves. 

Add a touch of personal flair with elements like a vintage scoreboard clock, a leather chair reminiscent of a dugout bench, or pendant lights shaped like baseballs. This combination of elements creates a space that honors their love for baseball while transitioning smoothly into a more mature and personalized retreat.

Here are some Baseball Decor ideas I found perfect for a Teen’s bedroom:

• This Eat.Sleep.Baseball pillow case by Chalk Talk Sports would be a nice complement to any bedding set, and comes in a couple different patterns and colors.
