Turn Your Bedroom into a Football Shrine

Sunday, August 9, 2009
Everybody's got one in the family. That one family member who doesn't just love football, they practically worship it. They've got their favorite NFL team, and they follow it religiously. They know every player's name, number, position and stats. They're glued to the TV every time a game comes on, and they go to great efforts to hit all the home and road games they can. They live for the Super Bowl.
No matter who your football fanatic is – son, daughter or spouse – you can help them display their team spirit by creating an NFL football theme bedroom.First Down: the walls
You have a number of options with the walls. You can paint them the colors of your fan's favorite team and add a team border. Consider using NFL team logo wallpaper on all walls or just on one. If you were feeling particularly artistic, you could even paint a football mural on one wall.
Another option is to utilize sports memorabilia in your decorating. You hang a team jersey as the centerpiece and add game tickets, pennants, autographs and pictures around it. For creative flair with less work, consider a poster collage featuring your favorite players. The options are really limitless.

Second Down: the bed

In bedrooms, the bed is, obviously, the centerpiece. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to find NFL bedding in all sizes. You can find a wide array of NFL bedding available, which makes it easy to decorate no matter which team your football fan is rooting for. Spruce up the bed more by adding football pillows. If you really want to get creative, use goal posts for the headboard.

Third Down: accessories
Adding accessories doesn't have to be daunting. You can find NFL logo rugs or football rugs for the floor, or football lamps, picture frames or player posters. If there's a bathroom, you can even decorate there by adding an NFL team logo shower curtain and trash can.

Touchdown: Give your family fanatic a fun football room
Football is one of the most popular sports in America. Help your family fans show their team spirit by giving their bedroom an NFL facelift.
