Teenage Boys Bedroom Ideas

Sometimes finding the right decor for a teenage boys bedroom can be a hair pulling experience. They no longer want the cuddly today’s and cartoon wall stickers of their younger years but still want to maintain a youthful and funky feel with a balance of style and function. Whether your young man prefers classic styles or contemporary designs, here are a few interior ideas that will create a relaxing haven for your teenage sons.

Wall murals and funky wallpapers make a great focal point on a feature wall and can be combined with crisp white, monochrome or grey for a sophisticated finish or bold and neon colour palettes for a vibrant contemporary look. Abstract, striped and geometric shaped wallpapers will give a textural detail to a plain feature wall as well as modern star, headphone or skateboard print patterns. Wall murals can be personalised to suit individual tastes with designs ranging from superheroes, sports teams, space, surfing or landscape images that add an eye-catching feature in any bedroom space.

Bedding is also a great way of introducing colour and pattern to your teenager’s bedroom and can be co-ordinated with matching curtains and rugs for a universal style and theme. For a music inspired design then select bedding that features headphones, vinyl discs, festival designs or album covers that showcase your child’s hobbies and talents. For a bright and funky design opt for modern prints such as contemporary slogans, trainers, underground maps or monochrome cityscapes that create a more sophisticated and masculine finish for older teenagers and adolescents.

Our teenage years are some of the most social years of our lives, from playing computer games with friends to studying and sleepovers it is essential that your child has plenty of space to accommodate both him and his friend’s in general day to day life. Sofa beds make a great addition to teenage bedrooms as they create plentiful sitting space for gaming or movie watching whilst providing an additional sleeping area that does not encroach upon the rest of the room when not in use. Gaming chairs, egg chairs and giant beanbags also make great seating area for your teenager and his friends and come in a vast range of colours to co-ordinate with the interior decor.

If your son is a bit of a skater boy then why not put his old skateboards to good use by creating a shelving area for all of his general bits and bobs. For a grunge style, leave the skateboards in a worn finish and place on a black or grey painted feature wall. If you prefer a more bold and modern design then paint the old skateboards in neon and metallic paint colours and hang against a brick style wallpaper or graffiti wall mural for an eye-catching look and finish. Shelves and wall art can also be created using guitars, drums or for a personalised look then decorate solid wood shelves with photographs and selfies of your teenager and his friends.

Furniture is an essential feature of any teenage boy’s bedroom. Storage is an all important feature that can be provided with either freestanding or built in wardrobes and chest of drawers in a wide variety of styles. For a classic look opt for solid oak that is warm and cosy and timeless in its appearance. If you prefer a more sleek and stylish finish then select white, black or grey gloss furniture and make sure you include a desk and bookcase for any studying, homework and revision. For a cool and sleek, loft style appearance, opt for industrial style furniture that features metal and reclaimed wood accents or locker style wardrobes and cupboards for a funky and modern finish.
