Teen Bedroom Decorating Idea For Boys

Read tips and advice on creating a fun and practical teenage boy's bedroom, that really hits the spot.

Here we are looking at interior design ideas for creating a teenage boy's bedroom that suits the needs of the teen himself - and is acceptable to Mum and Dad too.

It is important for a teenage boy to express himself, through the design, color and decor of his own personal space - his bedroom.

As a teenage boy moves from child to man, he must discover his true self and personality.

A good way of doing this is through his own self-expression, in creating his own room...

Deciding on the Look

• A teenage boy is likely to go for a modern, sophisticated feel, rather than something traditional.

  Basically, the more a teenage boy's bedroom appears like a modern, studio apartment, the better.

• Choose neutral, well-built furniture, that would be equally suitable for an adult's modern apartment.

  Modern, sleek, simple lines are a good choice - go for a modern, brushed aluminium finish, or a sophisticated, dark wood.

Practical Stuff

Lounging About

• Teenage boys like to lounge - whether watching TV, playing computer games or just 'chilling'.

  Beanbags and floor cushions are absolute essential teen bedroom decorating ideas, to create the ideal 'chill-out zone', for a teenage boy.

Teen Bedroom Decorating Ideas for Colors

• Paint will give a dramatic change, for any bedroom makeover, and is cheap, and easy to buy and use.
• Ideal colors for a successful teen bedroom decorating idea, for a teenage boy, are bold, but sophisticated.

  Make sure you take the teenage boy's individual preferences into account...

• When choosing colors, bear in mind that colors on the wall will appear darker than they did on the color chart.

  Choose the same color, but 1 or 2 shades lighter, or buy a tester pot, just to make sure.

• Try sophisticated khakis, olive greens, browns, stones and beiges, deep greys and charcoals, navy blues, and even black.

  If all that sounds a bit dark and sombre, add accents of brighter colors, such as lime greens, oranges, bright blues and red.

  Freshen the whole color scheme up with white, to lighten and brighten the feel.

• Remember, if your teenage boy does choose a darker color for his teen bedroom decorating idea, you don't need to paint the whole room in that color.
  Try using it on one wall for an accent - the wall behind the bed is always a good choice.

  And add accessories in that color too.

  This will help you get the dramatic feel and impact of the color, but means that you can also include lighter colors, to bring a feeling of space and light into the room.

  A completely dark painted room can easily start to feel cramped, dark and depressing.






Choose one of your teenage boy's interests, as inspiration for your teen bedroom decorating idea - use colors to match his favorite belongings or posters.




• Or, try creating a spacious, modern feel, with cool, metallic pale blues and greens.

  Accent these with plenty of silver, and touches of deeper turquoise and brown.

• Add some bright, modern, statement edding, to create a focal point out of the bed, and bring a touch of color and interest.
• Finally, add some modern posters, prints or photos.

  Frame a favorite poster in a large, modern frame, for a very grown-up and sophisticated finishing touch.

  I think the best, and most unusual, choice of posters is at Allposters.com. They have huge choice, from art, to movies, music and lots more ...

  ...so you are sure to find something to your tastes, and could come up with a great teen bedroom decorating idea for your room.

  You can buy ready framed posters, or canvas prints there too, which would give the room a more grown-up feel.

To create a successful teen bedroom decorating idea, for a boy, use his own ideas and self-expression, as an inspiration and starting point.

A teenage boy's bedroom is an extension of himself.

So, it should be a room where he is happy to work, rest and play, and feels confident to socialize in, and show it off to his friends.
