Teenage boys use their rooms for many different things, not just sleeping. For many of them it’s a refuge, somewhere that they can genuinely be themselves. It’s important that the décor reflects who your teenage boy is at the core.
It’s also important that it’s suitable for all the ways that he’ll use it, sleeping, studying, and hanging out with his friends. So try to steer them towards things that are flexible enough to be included in more than one interior décor scheme.
Sports Fans
Those who support or are passionate about a sports team, for example Manchester United might want to decorate their room with images of their favourite players, and choose to paint the walls the same colours as the strip.
Film fans
A lot of boys can get fascinated by one particular film, or a genre of film. Star Wars is a favourite for many teenage boys, maybe because they are influenced by their parent, or a older male relative. If so they might want to use a lot of film memorabilia in decorating their room, such as posters, or action figures.
Cool and colourful
Your teenager may choose to keep their room cool and airy, with a light paint and patterned accessories. A possibility could be cream walls, and geometric patterned home accessories such as cushions or rugs.
Ultra-organised
Some boys place storage options, and the chance to keep everything private to be their top priority. It will create a clean décor, and might be achieved by having a bed with drawers beneath it.
Monochrome
They might choose to have a black and white colour scheme, rather than going bright and colourful. It will take the impact away from the walls, and means that the focus is on whatever furniture they choose to place in the room.
Music fans
Regardless of their personal taste in music, many boys choose to have images of their favourite performers. If they are musicians themselves, then they will have to find ways to store the instruments as well.
Storage solutions for small bedrooms
Some bedrooms are particularly tricky to decorate due to the small space. If your teenage boy claims that he has to leave things on the floor, because there’s no room for his possessions why not invest in some clever storage options?
To stop his floor becoming his wardrobe, buy some hanging drawers instead so there’s loads of room for folded clothes, without a chest of drawers taking up space.
