So my 4 year old (almost 5) is all about comic book characters now, mainly Marvel guys. He's got a bunch of toys and I just got him thecLego Marvel game for the Xbox and he's addicted so I thought it's time for a room Reno.

My plan is to use a brick wallpaper to cover two of the walls where his bunkbed is in the corner, looks like this.


I picked up some canvas art here and there of cool older stlye comics and a bigger 3D one featuring Hulk as that's his favorite.













For the wall that has a big window I bought some red curtains that arecsort of satin, hoping to be like Superman's cape lol. I'm thinking of painting the wall blue to give the Superman, Spiderman colors there.

The last wall where the closet is I'm thinking of painting it light gray then drawing a cityscape on it from the ground up to about 4', something like this.



Maybe add the Bat signal somewhere?

Something else I saw online I liked was to put a dialog box on the wall above his pillow and write "As the city sleeps..." and use the typical comic font.

On the brick wall I'll add a bookshelf of just floating shelves that have a wood finish like the hardwood you see in my pictures of the cart and he can put all his action figures and books on dispaly.

I'm hoping you fucking geeks in here can approve/disaprove or give me some sweet ideas on how to make this room awesome. Any help is appreciated.

Great Dad dude. Okay some ideas. Rent or buy a cheap projector from EBay or somewhere and project onto brick wall wallpaper an image of characters busting out of the wall. There's been loads of that kind of thing over the years shouldn't be too hard to find. Or you could do Marvel or DC Lego.you maybe able to find city scape vinyl decals instead of painting the wall that may save you time, same with the batsignal.

Maybe look for the night lights they make that attach to the wall like caps shield

Great idea! Also @Skid Mark Whalberg thinks he's got a project for for me so we're looking into a way to get it over to Canada, very exciting times!

My sons nickname is DC so I'd love to out up the actual logo somewhere of course. I've seen the city scape decals but nothing really jumls out and I'm not sure I'd get the exact dimensions I'm needing. I like the idea of busting through the brick though.

I missed out earlier on getting some advice in but it looks like some of the others nailed it. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
My boy is only 5 months but I'm looking forward to doing something like this when he's older...assuming, like me, he gets into comics.

Ya it's great once they start showing interest in thing. Both my kids love the Lego vids on Xbox, so far it's Marvel and Batman they can't get enough of. I think I'm gonna go get some paint right now actually.

So I got two walls the blue I thought best matched Spiderman and Superman plus 80% one one walls brick finish. Still under ided on the last wall but I'll probably continue with more brick as the blue is pretty.....blue.




This is my first time putting up wallpaper and it's a little finicky as I assumed, the corners will be a bit of a pain but I'll manage. The wall to the left of the window is blue as well. I'm going to mask of a city skyline and paint it charcoal grey and add little yellow windows. I'm hoping to get most of this done by the weekend but this paper is time consuming to make look good.
Oh and the red curtains I bought weeks ago are sheer lol. Not the look I'm going for so those ones in the picture are doing a good job keeping pedos out in the meantime.

About 90% just need to add windows and some other features on the cityscape and probably a Bat signal of some sort and find some red curtains and a floating shelf for some of his action figures. I ordered a Marvel duvet cover set too.

What appears to be a crack in the picture above is strange, might be the flash from the camera as it's one of those 3D pictures

La Paix @BirdWatcher you are doing great things for your kid, but those images are enormous and slow my laptop down when I try to scroll past them :D
