Trading Spaces Boys Vs. Girls - Youthful Theme Room Decor Inspiration


Trading Spaces: Boys vs. Girls on the Discovery Kids Channel is a spin-off of the adult Trading Spaces. The room makeovers the kids and designers do on the show are so imaginative and whimsical.

Here's a clip during the reveal of a hat-inspired room if you've never seen the show:


Here are some creative room transformations rooms from the show that might inspire you to dream up a creative theme for your own bedroom (the link will come up in a new window, and you can click the arrow to see the before and after of the room):

One of my very favorites the Broadway Theater. I love the purple and gold combination, the wall painting and the lights!

Another one of my favorites, an "Underwater Dream." I wish my room looked like that!

Another favorite, the Actress Dressing Room. I love the elegance of the gold and red silk drapery and pillows.

I'm loving the canopy in this African Safari!

This South Beach room takes me back home to Miami. I'm loving the lighting, palm trees and colors.

Here's a room that was transformed into a Princess Tower. I love the shades of purple, the arch over the bed and the realistic landscape on the wall.

If I were this kid, I'd love to be sent to my room as "punishment" in this Beach Paradise.

It looks like a real Jungle!

Back in the day, to an early American General Store and a Rustic Log Cabin

Here's a cool "High-tech Spy Warehouse"

Here's an African and Puerto Rico inspired room and a colorful India inspired room

This one doesn't even look like a bedroom! It's a funky Jazz Lounge.

Here's a quirky Animal Palace. I love the patterns.

He can wake up in the middle of the night to make tracks in this Recording Studio

A future President?

An indoor Skater and Mardi Gras Queen

A delicious and colorful Candy Factory

An "Imperial China" feel and "Japanese Style"

Making Ancient History and preparing for lift-off


You can check out the show's homepage for more pics, some DIY craft ideas, and the TV schedule. Too bad I'm too old to apply to get my room made-over!
