Thank you Dorel, Delta Children, and Lush Decor for partnering with me on this post!
I am so excited to share Leyton’s airplane-themed big boy room! If you remember, I had a friend share her 5 tips on the blog about transitioning your toddler to a big boy room or big girl room a few months ago. One of her tricks was to allow your child to be involved in the process – from the design to the decorating, helping them feel included will help to spur excitement about this new room!! Leyton was definitely excited about having his room decorated with all things airplanes so this helped with the process for him!
As many of you know from following me on Instagram, we decided instead of turning the guest bedroom into a nursery for Finn and transforming Leyton’s nursery to a big boy room, we just kept the nursery as-is for Finn and moved Leyton to the guest bedroom! One thing I certainly didn’t want Leyton to feel was him getting kicked-out of his safe space, the nursery. We took different steps to ensure this wasn’t the case and I feel as though the transition has been an overall good experience! Of course, it could all change any day but we are just so proud of Leyton and his adjustments with baby Finn!
Big Boy Room Details
We love the simplicity of the room with the easy navy blue and neutral color scheme! His bed, toy chest, and shelf are from Delta Children and are so cute and simple! We ordered the nightstand and dresser from Dorel Living and are equally pleased with those pieces! We wanted to choose basic pieces that could be versatile for whenever Leyton grows out of this room decor and we need to update. You can find more room inspiration on Dorel’s Instagram and Facebook!
Once we had the furniture nailed down, we ordered the navy and white chevron curtains from Lush Decor and his reversible quilt from there too! Everything else we grabbed from Amazon, Target, or Etsy! All our picture frames are from Target and we actually snagged them all when they were running a 20% off deal! His sheets are from Amazon. And of course, he has to have his “kits” aka blankets from Aden and Anais!
This white lamp we actually had in the nursery when Leyton was a baby so I can’t link to it directly but found a similar option here! His bedside airplane lamp is from Target and is perfect for reading books before bed! He loves it! I found the cutest airplane prints on Amazon and ordered those for this little wall between the doors.
We found this airplane propeller blade on Amazon and thought it would be so cute hung on the wall with photos around it! We did decide to bring some of Leyton’s toys into the room so that he would be able to play in there when he wasn’t napping or during bedtime. And it is nice having these in a tucked away space rather than our main living area! The main toy we have in here is his big train table we got for him last Christmas! It was a HIT and if you have a little one that loves trains, I highly recommend it for this Christmas!
Big Boy Room Transition Q&A
Do you use anything that helps him know when it’s ok to get out of bed in the morning?
The first time he napped in his room, we had a very serious conversation with him about how he’s expected to stay in his room until mommy or daddy come to tell him he can come out and he has shockingly listened. Sometimes we worry though that he’ll need us and will be afraid to come out. We still use our Levana monitor and so far, he’s cried if he fell out of bed or pooped in his pull-ups or needed other help.
Has Leyton been staying in his room all night?
