Football. If you’ve got a kid whose fascination with it borders on obsession, you’re going to want to check out these cute finds. I’m not a football fanatic myself, but even I can’t help admitting that I’d like to hang out in a room with such an awesome theme. It might even make me a fan — if you throw in some popcorn. — Rita from Fighting Off Frumpy
This adorable upholstered headboard is perfect for the kid who has football on the brain. (And I love the chalkboard wall behind it too.)
Whether your kid is watching the big game or just daydreaming about one, there’s no better place to kick back than in a kid-size football chair with its own little ottoman.
This unique pendant lamp captures the perfect midair spiral.
I love this personalized scoreboard. It’s actually a wall-friendly peel-and-stick decal, but it brings a very real feel to any football-themed room.
Even a football hero needs a nightlight sometimes. This ball looks powerful enough to crack through a wall, but it provides a nice, gentle glow in the darkness.
It might be square, but this nightstand is awesome! It’s padded to replicate a real-football feel.
Framed by an all-star football, your kid’s reflection will shine brighter than stadium lights. This handmade, hand-stained mirror can be personalized with any name.
I like this painting. It’s large (24 by 24 inches), it’s simple, and it’s handmade. But the best part is that the artist can customize the background color to your liking or add a name or phrase if you want.
This box is perfect for storing either toys for the younger football fans or gear for the older ones. It’s made of wood and covered with a polyurethane foam, so it’s soft to the touch and easy to clean. Safety hinges and air vents ensure that nobody will ever get trapped.
Any football fan will appreciate this unique neon sign. If green and yellow aren’t your team’s colors, don’t worry — the company makes it in several other color combos.
When there’s no practice and no game going on, sometimes a kid just has to study. But it’s more fun while sitting on a desk chair that recalls a favorite pastime.
It’s always game time with a cute personalized clock like this one.
Even football legends need their privacy, but of course they should get it behind curtains like these.
Protective headgear is important, so provide a friendly reminder (and spice up a boring dresser) with this helmet-shaped drawer knob.
Look at those seats, just awaiting the throngs of football fanatics! This huge peel-and-stick decal is a cute (and budget-friendly) way to transform a room into a stadium.
This awesome piece serves triple duty. First, it’s a great piece of decor for a football-themed room. Second, it’s an alarm clock. But that’s not all — to turn it off, you actually get to throw it. So it’s fun, too!
OK, so technically this is sold as a bath cabinet, but hey, a cabinet can be used anywhere! Tuck all that kid clutter neatly away behind its grass-green football-field doors.
Need a great place to store more gear while adding a whiff of authenticity to a sports-themed abode? Yes, please!
No player ever made it to MVP status on a lack of sleep. Beneath this cozy comforter is the perfect place to catch some z’s.
