15 Teen Boy Bedroom Ideas
We recently moved into a new home and my son’s teen boy bedroom was the first room that I wanted to tackle.
I wanted to create a space that was cool, functional, and that could grow with him.
I started by asking him what he wanted in his room and he gave me a few ideas. Then I took to Pinterest to find some inspiration. Here’s what I found.
1. Opt for Classic Furniture
When designing a space for a teen, it’s important to keep in mind that they will grow up and out of the room within a few years.
To ensure that the space can grow with them, we recommend investing in classic furniture that they can take with them when they leave the nest.
In this room designed by Emily Henderson, the bed, nightstand, and dresser all have a timeless look that will work in any space.
The headboard and nightstand have a cool, masculine energy, while the dresser gets a touch of whimsy with colorful hardware.
2. Add a Splash of Color
Teenagers have a lot of energy and personality, so why not reflect that in their bedroom?
A pop of color in an otherwise neutral room is a great way to add personality without the risk of it feeling too overwhelming.
We love how this teen boy bedroom uses a bright, bold blue to make the room feel fun and exciting.
If you’re not sure where to start, consider your teenager’s favorite color. You don’t have to use it everywhere, but it could be a great jumping-off point!
3. Create a Study Space
A study space is a must in a teen boy bedroom.
Even though it may be difficult to get them to sit down and do their homework, having a designated area for it will make it much easier to get them to do so.
This bedroom desk is the perfect study space. It’s simple, clean, and clutter-free.
A desk with a hutch or shelves is a great way to add storage to the bedroom without taking up any additional floor space.
4. Add Plenty of Storage
One thing that most parents and teens can agree on is that you can never have too much storage.
This is especially true if your teen has a small bedroom.
Incorporating built-in storage, like the cubbies and shelves in this bedroom, can be a great way to make the most of the space.
Otherwise, you can use furniture with built-in storage or add free-standing storage pieces as needed.
5. Get a Comfy Bed
The bed is the most important part of any bedroom.
A comfortable bed is a must for a teen boy bedroom. After all, they need a good night’s sleep to get through their busy days.
You can’t go wrong with a classic metal bed. Pair it with a cozy comforter and some throw pillows to complete the look.
6. Add Cool Lighting
Lighting can really make or break a room. In this case, it makes the room!
The hanging pendant light is a unique touch, and the string lights behind the bed add a cozy, warm glow to the room.
Pro tip: Add a dimmer switch to your lights so you can adjust the brightness to your liking.
7. Decorate the Walls
The walls are a blank canvas for you and your teen to decorate with his favorite things. In this room, the wall behind the bed is covered with a large world map.
This is a great way to give the room a theme and add some color.
Wall art can be a way for your teen to express his personality. In this room, the art is a collection of framed records.
This is an inexpensive and easy DIY project. You can frame your teen’s favorite records, or you can find some at a thrift store.
You can also create your own art by framing a poster or a piece of fabric.
8. Add a Personal Touch
A teen’s bedroom should feel like their own personal sanctuary. Add a few personal touches with fun accessories and decor that they love.
In this bedroom designed by Chango & Co., the designer added a surfboard to the wall and a fun, patterned rug to bring in color.
9. Create a Cool Hangout Spot
Every teen bedroom design should have a cool hangout spot.
Whether it’s a comfy chair, a bean bag, or an extra-large floor cushion, make sure your teen has a place to relax that isn’t their bed.
If you have the space, a hanging chair is a fun and trendy addition to any teen bedroom.
It provides a cozy nook for your teen to curl up in with a good book or their favorite music.
If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, a simple armchair is a great choice.
Look for one with a fun color or pattern to add a pop of personality to the room.
10. Let Him Have Some Say
It can be easy to want to take over the design process, but make sure to let your teen have some say in the design.
Talk to him about his interests and what he wants to see in his room.
This will help you get a sense of his style and also make sure he feels like it is his space.
Conclusion
We hope you enjoyed these teen boy bedroom ideas and tips. Enjoy the process of decorating and have fun with it!
