Incorporate Pattern

In the bedroom of Cortney and Robert Novogratz's younger son, the design duo added crane linens—from the Novogratz by Utica collection for WestPoint Home—that were inspired by old wallpaper discovered in their West Village home during demolition. A bright blue locker nightstand and personal decor add playfulness.

Start Small

While a bed that's low to the ground might not grow with your child, it can certainly make for an easy big kid bed transition. Here, the bed in designer Chauncy Boothby’s son’s room has been passed down through her husband’s family for four generations. She paired the classic brown furniture with fun nautical wallpaper, perfect for a growing child.

Create a Built-In Bed

For a small kid's room with a bump-out that couldn't be altered, designer Kelly Finley incorporated a custom bed with a desk on one side and built-in storage so that the child could still have space in the room to play.

Go Rustic

Create a cohesive look in a room that has exposed beams with matching beds and ladders. In a Massachusetts home, designer Amanda Greaves and architect John Mitchell Fuller used leftover barn pieces and added red, white, and blue accents for Americana vibes.

Think About Playtime

Kids often spend time playing in their rooms, so make sure it's well-suited for those activities. In the boys' room of a New York City apartment, designer Raymond Boozer embraced soft surfaces, like a fluffy IKEA rug, and rich colors to optimize the room for playtime.

Shop for Antiques

Invest in pre-loved items that will grow with your child as they age and can be passed on through generations. In the son's room of Country Living editor-in-chief Rachel Hardage Barrett's Alabama house, vintage wall decor, and side tables make the room feel lived-in. Vintage thermoses and flashlights add an element of collector's fun.

Make It Double as a Guest Room

To ensure a family's two sons had a big open area to play and a place for their friends to spend the night, designer Andrew Howard arranged a pair of bunk beds in the corner of the room. Built-in storage further saves space in the bedroom.

HUYLA KOLABAS

Look to the Sky

Create a light, airy space by taking inspiration from the sky. Here, designer Lucy Harris chose Bubble wallcovering by Chasing Paper and a ceiling of Benjamin Moore Blue Jean to make the white bunks feel as though they're floating.

Emphasize a Sport

If you have everything but the wall decor figured out, take inspiration from this tennis racket display in a South Carolina home by designer Alaina Michelle Ralph. Get creative when applying it to other sports, like featuring an open shelf lined with baseballs.

Studio/Lifesytle

Build a Slide

It simply doesn't get any cooler than this bedroom designed by California-based firm Studio Life/Style. With a half-stair and half/slide hybrid, a lofted hangout zone, and a full-sized bed that still leaves room for a sitting area, you may as well stop clicking through and just send this to your contractor (just kidding, there's more of this goodness to come).

Heidi Caillier

Let Them Choose the Color Scheme

If they have a favorite color, choose fun accent pieces that let it shine. In this bedroom designed by Heidi Callier, the blush pink curtains lighten the mood and allow for a sectioned-off "play zone" under the top bunks. The warm browns and woods create a warm foundation.

Gieves Anderson

Incorporate Family Memories

New York designer Alexa Hampton brought in grown-up furniture and a custom Dean Barger mural inspired by a family trip to Rome when her now 12-year-old twins grew out of their bunk beds. Since sharing a room "can be kind of a drag, looking out of a fake window onto an Italian square," is some consolation, Hampton says.

Strike a Balance

Arent & Pyke opted for modern, sculptural pieces that strike that very careful balance between playful and grownup. From the striped table lamp to the wooden stool, graphic rug, linen bedding, and eye-catching rug, everything feels both youthful and timeless.

Hang a Chair

This little refuge designed by Elizabeth Roberts is both calming and cheerful, thanks to the soft, pleasant colors, which are pretty unique and unexpected in a kid's room, while the playful motifs, shapely daybed, and hanging chair set a fun, kid-friendly tone.

Chango & Co.

Choose a Cool Bed

To soften the punchy stripes and colors of this bedroom, designer Susana Simonpietri of Chango & Co. hung a leather headboard. It will continue to work well with other design schemes as the seven-year-old boy grows up. "It's important to keep the child's current age in mind, as well as the years ahead of him," she says.

Put Up Passions

In the Hawaiian Kona-coast bedroom of a 13-year-old, surfboards pay homage to his happy place. San Francisco-based designer Nicole Hollis made it a place where he can hang out with friends, something that was important to him. "No matter the age, we always ask our clients how they live," she says.

Tamsin Johnson

Mix Pattern

Here's another great example of mixing sophisticated designs with whimsical pieces. The burnt orange Kelly Wearstler-upholstered headboard contrasts perfectly with the circus-print wallpaper.

Genevieve Garruppo

Use a Versatile Paint Color

Think outside of the box when choosing a paint color, but make sure it has versatility. "Less conventional than your typical navy, this striking green plays well with blue, red, gray, black, and even wood tones, making it the perfect accent color for a bedroom that can easily grow with its inhabitant," says designer Emily C. Butler.

Studio McGee

Turn It Into a Bunk Room

Why only have one bunkbed duo when you can create a bunk room optimized for slumber parties? When you have the space for it, the more, the merrier. Rather than just putting two queen beds in the guest room, Studio McGee added twin bunks crossing overhead to maximize sleep space.

Reed Davis

Create Privacy

Create a cozy reading nook with a library wall, built-in daybed, and curtains for privacy. This one is sure to raise a book, and the curtains make it feel like a little nest and add a nice sense of privacy, which is perfect in a room siblings share.

Studio DB

Put It on a Platform

A platform bed with drawers is a genius way to add extra storage for all of your kiddos' toys or clothing if you're lacking in closet space. This one designed by Studio DB doesn't feel overly childish, either, so it can age gracefully throughout the years.

Be Age Appropriate

When designing a bedroom for a precocious teenager, choose a few pieces to have fun with, but make sure each item speaks to the rest of the home's style for a cohesive whole. And, this way, it can function as a guest room when he moves out (you don't have to break that news just yet). This space designed by Heather Hilliard is a great blueprint.

Robson Rak

Let Them Get Involved

Rather than looking at the decorating process as a stressful thing, see it as an opportunity to bond and encourage them to get involved. This way, their personality and passions can really shine through. This room by Robson Rak isn't too fussy or over-the-top and can easily be reworked as the child develops new interests or tastes—plus, it still fits in with the rest of the home. But the side table/oversized stacked Legos are kid-centric and fun.

Jessica Anitola

Repurpose Old Items

Spending a fortune on custom kids' furniture and decor isn't always the wisest investment. You'll cut your costs a ton by repurposing as many items as you can in a kid-friendly way. In this bedroom, for example, interior designer Starrett Zenko Ringbom stacked antique trunks for both extra surface and storage space. The fresh coat of deep turquoise and a large map enliven the walls while a vintage rug plays on that eclectic aesthetic.

Channel Their Happy Place

Designed by Emily Henderson, this kid's nature-inspired bedroom doubles as a playroom, the climbing wall being the obvious highlight. The neutral tones ensure a more stylish aesthetic and the strategically-placed floor cushions lighten things up. There's also a canopy over the bed evocative of a tent, so the room really feels like a camping experience.

Go Monochrome

In this boy's bedroom designed by Barry Dixon, the various prints bring intrigue to the calming blue tones used throughout. The canopies above the twin beds were inspired by his love of camping, infusing the decor with more meaning.

Add Sconces

Forgo a table lamp for sconces that he can easily use to read books in bed. And if he prefers a neutral color palette, liven it up with a patterned headboard, bedding, and throw pillows.

Choose Smart Storage

This bedroom designed by Arent & Pyke takes advantage of every storage opportunity, from the platform bed with built-in drawers to a colorful wall cubby, to store all his favorite toys. The little sitting nook at the end of the bed gives the occupant a place to hang out other than the bed without adding a bulky sitting area in the small room.

Stencil Your Walls

Use stenciled wallpaper (or even test your skills and paint them yourself) for a whimsical wallcovering. This room's animal theme makes it feel like a circus.

Go Blue

If blue is his favorite color, you're in luck. It adds fun color to the room, but isn't too bold or crazy.

Childhood bedrooms are sacred spaces that help little ones discover the joys of having a room of their own, and provide them with a place to create indelible memories that last a lifetime. A boy's room should look like the boy who lives in it, designed to accommodate his changing passions and tailored to accommodate his personality and needs.

Perhaps that means sticking to tried and true shades of blue, opting for modern neutrals, creating a playful and contemporary space full of stimulating colors or graphic black-and-white elements, or adding vintage furniture and decor to give the room a timeless appeal. Use decor to help create a cozy, magical space that makes him feel secure and allows him room to change and grow.

Check out these joyful and stylish boys' rooms that will help inspire you to create a unique space that feels right for you and the little man in your life.

Room for a teenager-boy: 72 bedroom interior ideas in a modern style

Arranging functional areas, organizing storage, selecting furniture.

Publication date: 07.11.2019

Material prepared: Vera Rogatko

Men mature late (and some don't mature at all), so don't make the setting too serious for an eighth grader - keep it childish and playful. Read about other secrets of a successful children's room for a teenage boy in this post.

Design: Totaste Studio

How to plan space: placing functional areas

The window seat with the highest concentration of daylight is traditionally given to the desktop.

Idea for a note: extend the window sill to the depth of the desk or integrate the table into the window area so that the child always has enough space on it.

Design: Alexandra Hartke

Design: Fruktov Interiors

Design: Natalia Solo

In dimly lit areas of the room, we place a bed or a bedroom area for a teenage boy, a sports corner, a TV with a game console and other areas where the presence of active daylight is not of great importance, or vice versa, a little twilight is needed.

Design: Maria Vlasenko

Design: Julia Starikova

It is optimal if the desktop and the bed are not located close to each other, so that when falling asleep, the boy can quickly switch to rest, abstract from studies and lessons.

Design: Alisa Svistunova

Design: TS Design

Storage spaces are good to place close to the entrance so that cupboards and shelves can be brought to the space above the door. Plus, it will be convenient to put a laundry basket near the front door, and the mother will not have to go across the whole room to pick up the child’s clothes for washing.

Design: Tatiana Shaulyak

Place for a sports corner with dumbbells, Swedish wall, punching bag or basketball hoop is important to isolate as much as possible from other areas, “cut off” with a partition, highlight with color.

Deciding on the style

A 16-year-old boy will not need any hints here: even without adults, he will choose the style in which he wants to see his room, and the designer will help to adapt it to the general style of the house. At the same time, both children of this age and younger teenagers usually like styles:

  • modern, sporty chic;

Design: Denis Golub, Artem Shevchenko

  • loft, industrial;

  • Scandinavian.

The last one is the most practical: you can assemble a calm, nuanced base from decoration and furniture, which later will be harmoniously overgrown with a variety of child's things. And when the atmosphere gets boring, Scandinavian-style interiors are easy to change with new curtains, lamps, carpets and posters.

Design: Daria Alyaeva

It is better to avoid decorating ideas like “nautical style”, “space style”: rooms where the atmosphere is strictly subordinated to one narrow theme look beautiful only in interior magazines. In real life, they are doomed, they are unlikely to stand the test of daily operation and quickly lose their “cover” appearance. And you can add the atmosphere of the sea or space to the interior with the help of accents, locally.

Design: design studio of Olga Kondratova

Choosing a finish

Neutral range, wear resistance, strength - these are the three main criteria in the selection of finishing materials for the interior of a room for a teenage boy.

Design: Alexander Zavgorodny

Fine finish can be:

  • walls - washable paint, plaster, durable vinyl wallpaper, brick if the room is in a real loft;
  • floor good laminate or vinyl tile;
  • ceiling - paint or stretch fabric coating with a matte finish.

Design: Dark Ponds

Design: Svetlana Dikushina

Something exclusive and very expensive to pick up at this stage of a child's life is not worth it: the boy is growing, his tastes are changing rapidly, and the risk that a hand-drawn photo panel on the wall will one day be pasted over with a poster depicting a favorite rapper is too great.

Design: BIGO

We select furniture

For the sleeping area

A boy's adolescence is the time when it's time to buy an "adult" size bed (one and a half, as an option) with an orthopedic mattress, ideally with drawers for storage. If the room is very small, you can pick up a loft bed for it, and arrange a working place under the bed. Such a bed is also good because the child will feel secluded in it: children from 12-14 years old are especially sensitive to personal space.

Design: Evgeny Kashpurenko

Storage

When planning the storage system for clothes in a teenage boy's room, it is important that the closets have shallow shelves: they are convenient to store T-shirts, sweaters, jeans and other clothes in the Maria Kondo method, stacking them in horizontal rows, and not stacks, as usual. This will make it easier for the teenager to keep things in order.

Design: Azat Movlam

Place open shelves for textbooks, notebooks, magazines, stationery closer to the desktop and complement with closed cabinets and boxes for storing small items to avoid clutter.

Design: Marina Braginskaya

Design: AR-KA architectural studio

Workstation

Standard size table or height adjustable model? If the height of the child has already crossed the mark of 1.5 m, you can buy a regular table, like in adults, and it is better to buy a chair of adjustable sizes.

For a recreation area

Friends will come to the teenager - you need to think over places for them too. A good solution is bean bags: sitting neatly with a straight back is definitely not about teenagers, but in such a chair it’s convenient to “fall apart” as you like. Plus, such models are mobile, you can buy several of them at once, and after the guests leave, hide them in a wardrobe or closet.

Design: Konstantin Kryukov

Design: Vladimir Korobov

It is desirable to complement the atmosphere with a small sofa-transformer, so that an overstayed classmate or a friend in the sports section can stay overnight.

About the decor

It should be just a little, because in the space of a teenager there is already a lot of visual load. It is optimal if the decor is of an applied nature. It can be:

  • a political map of the world or an atlas of the starry sky on the wall, a globe;

Photo: behance.net

  • a collection of soccer balls, self-made models of vehicles and other items that reveal the child's hobbies;

Photo: studiosmvd.com

  • awards and diplomas. Select a part of the wall or a rack for them, arrange diplomas in beautiful frames, medals and cups - hang and arrange them harmoniously.

It's great if the interior has a place for things with humor: wallpaper with an ironic pattern on one of the walls, a strange flower pot, an unusual lamp.

Design: Oleg Klodt

+3 tips for decorating a teenage boy's room

1. Do not be afraid of dark colors in the room, if the teenager insists on just such a palette. A dark interior is not necessarily gloomy, with the right combination of shades it will look stylish and unusual, and will help the boy to express himself.

Design: Samar Mahmud

2. A cool design technique to decorate a fragment of the ceiling above the bed with interesting wallpaper and plaster. It's good when a child looks at something in front of him before going to bed.

3. If two teenagers will live in a room, it is important to equip for both of them with a separate private space for rest and sleep. But it is optimal to combine jobs, assigning each child to a certain zone.

Thinking through the interior of a child's room for a boy, you should take into account his age, range of activities and interests. It is also important to ensure that furniture and finishing materials are environmentally friendly and safe.

    A boy's room should not be crowded on all sides: there should be enough free space for games and physical warm-up between classes.

    Thinking through the interior of a nursery for boys of preschool and primary school age, one should also remember about the transformability of space.

    As the child grows, some things and pieces of furniture remain, and some are supplemented or replaced with new ones that better meet current needs and interests. In the nursery, more often than in other rooms, rearrangements take place.

    It is better to think over the location of objects, taking into account the phases of a child's life (preschool age, elementary grades, etc.). For example, the positioning of sockets depends on this: a child under 5 years old does not particularly need them, but a teenager needs them.

    While the child is very young, you can install sockets with special protection in his room. For a teenage boy, it is worth providing an outlet near the bed so that he can charge his phone, laptop and other gadgets in a timely manner.

    Zoning

    The number and functionality of zones in a boy's room depends on his age. The preschooler's room should have a play area and a bed. From the age of 5-6, the child also needs a well-organized study area.

    Recreation area

    A children's room for a boy of 7 years (or less) should be equipped with a "shelter" like a hut or wigwam. Children of this age are very fond of such corners. This design is usually installed next to the bed or even on it.

    When decorating a boys' bedroom, remember the importance of a quality, even mattress.

    Do not decorate a preschooler's room with a lot of designer pillows and similar items. Due to age, he simply will not be able to appreciate this, and there is a high probability that carefully arranged pillows will soon be quickly scattered around the room.

    Work area

    A boy's room for 8 years and older requires a quality work area. It is better to place it near the window so that sunlight enters the room in sufficient volume.

    If the child is right-handed, the light should fall from the left, if the child is left-handed, vice versa.

    It is possible to equip the workplace on a well-insulated balcony. Above the table or slightly to the side of it, you can hang shelves for books and stationery.

    The work area in the schoolboy's room should be, if possible, isolated from distractions that may interfere with concentration on study.

    The seat must be suitable for the height of the boy. For example, if the height is 120-130 cm, the table can have a height of 54-57 cm, the chair - 30-34 cm.

    Wardrobes and shelves especially important for children of preschool and primary school age), drawers for toys.

    Purchasing a traditional wall for a 7-year-old boy's nursery would not be the best choice: it is rather large-sized furniture, and the child will have little space for games and exercises. It is better to choose more compact options.

    Sports corner

    It is especially important to equip it if the child is active and mobile. It can be wall bars, climbing rope and other devices appropriate for age and fitness level.

    Even in a very small room, you can find a place for a horizontal bar. Under the shells you need to lay a soft carpet to reduce the likelihood of traumatic falls.

    Play area

    Designed according to the boy's age and preferences. For children of preschool age, an arena is equipped.

    Until adolescence, a boy must have at his disposal enough free space for playing with toys, picking up puzzles and puzzles, and simple outdoor games.

    Wall decoration

    The most practical way to renovate a boy's room is to decorate the walls with washable paint. It not only tolerates environmental factors well, but also does not create problems in future repairs.

    If the child later wants to change the color of the walls or use a different finish, this does not require removing the previous coating. If the child decides to paint the wall, his art will also be easy to paint over.

    You can diversify the design of a room for a 7-year-old boy with the help of interior stickers. Another good option is to paint one of the walls with slate paint. On such a surface, the boy can draw as much as he wants.

    Floor materials

    Common finishing materials have their pros and cons. For example, parquet board and porcelain stoneware are durable, durable, environmentally friendly and beautiful, but it is easy for a child to slip on such a floor.

    Therefore, in a nursery for a boy of 5 years old, whose movements are energetic, but not fully coordinated, it is better to use a softer floor or lay a warm carpet on the parquet floor.

    Cork flooring has excellent performance characteristics: it is warm, environmentally friendly, non-slip, and has good soundproofing properties.

    However, this material is quite expensive and does not tolerate abundant water (it must be wiped off as soon as possible with a soft cloth). Also a good option would be marmoleum (natural linoleum).

    Choice of furniture

    Buying furniture for a boy should be guided by his height. For example, in a room for a 5-year-old boy, it should be quite low, for a 10-year-old boy it should be already higher (adequate to height and physique).

    Nursery furniture for a teenage boy acquires the same dimensions as for an adult.

    Ideally, furniture for a boy's room should be made of solid wood - an environmentally friendly and durable material that is compatible with many interiors.

    It is better to choose light facades. Dark in most interiors (except for a reserved, serious teenager's room similar to an office) will look ponderous.

    The best choice would be hard, durable species - alder, maple, beech, walnut, alder. It is almost impossible to accidentally scratch them during games.

    Another possible option for children's furniture for boys is MDF structures. They are more affordable than solid wood furniture, while they are quite durable and resistant to moisture.

    Chipboard - a budget, but not environmentally friendly option (the material contains formaldehyde resins). It is very important that the edges of the furniture are securely closed and laminated (harmful compounds are released into the external environment through open edges).

    Now more and more common furniture is calibrated to the dimensions of the body of a growing child (for example, by lowering the backrest or raising the plane of the desk).

    Furniture must be safe so that the child does not get hurt while playing or exercising. It should not have glass inserts and should have as few sharp corners as possible.

    Colors

    Thinking through the design of a boy's bedroom, it is important to choose the right colors. The room should not have an excess of bright colors that excite the nervous system and dark ones (which can have a depressing effect).

    If the room is purely playful, bright colors are acceptable, but if it is also used for study, neutral light colors with a few rich accents are the best choice.

    It is better to bring brightness into the interior not with finishing materials, but with textiles: if necessary, it is easier to replace it.

    If a boy's nursery is small, bright colors will only emphasize this. It is better to use light finishing materials for a small room.

    Lighting

    There must be enough light in the room, so it is better if there are several sources of light. Small children are often afraid to fall asleep in the dark, so for a child of this age, it is worth considering a sconce or a night light next to the bed.

    Competent local lighting of the working area is also important. The child needs both a table lamp and an outlet for it, as well as good ceiling lighting.

    It is better to buy lamps with warm light for a child - they strain the child's eyesight less. For younger children, the best ceiling lighting option would be a matte white stretch ceiling with recessed swivel lights.

    This is more advantageous than static lighting, as it allows you to adapt to possible rearrangements in the room.

    Take care of safety

    A bedroom for a boy, especially a younger one, should be furnished with furniture made from environmentally friendly materials (not lower than class E1).

    PVC, laminate and similar materials are not the best choice. They can be used if at least 2 weeks pass between the repair and the settlement of the child, during which the room will be thoroughly ventilated.

    Large furniture must be firmly fixed to the walls. This is not difficult to do, but it is very important, since the fall of a large piece of furniture is one of the most common sources of injury. Sharp corners of furniture should be equipped with silicone pads.

    Silicone pad

    Parents often worry that their little one will stick his finger into the socket. To prevent such incidents, sockets must be equipped with special protection against children.

    Boys' preferred nursery styles

    Boys' nursery designs should be affordable and inexpensive to implement and easily modified in simple ways (textiles, themed wall decor, etc.). For younger children, it is also important that the interior retains an attractive look even when cluttered.

    Scandinavian

    This is a cozy and modern style, yet practical and easy to implement. It is characterized by white and light wall decoration, as well as the use of light wood furniture.

    At the same time, brightness is added by small accent things of muted but saturated tones - curtains, wall decoration (posters, panels, etc.), textile upholstery of chairs.

    Children's bedrooms for boys in this style are cozy and harmonious in colors. Style features make it easy to adjust the design to age-related features by replacing accessories and small pieces of furniture. In addition, white walls and light wood go well with a variety of things.

    Loft

    This is a good nursery design for teenage boys. Finishing materials for the walls, it uses durable, resistant to vandalism: decorative brick, concrete or stone stucco.

    Since there are often many dark colors in the design, it is worth providing the room with a sufficient number of lighting fixtures. Bright color accents go well with dark finishes.

    Modern

    An inexpensive and practical option would be a minimalist design with light walls, a stretch ceiling and built-in / modular furniture (including transformer furniture).

    This arrangement is especially recommended if the family has or expects a second child. As children grow older, things corresponding to their current hobbies will penetrate into the interior.

    Ecostyle

    Natural materials and light natural tones have a good effect on the child's psyche. The floor in this case can be wooden, cork or made of marmoleum.

    Walls can be either painted or covered with wallpaper (usual paper or natural with jute or linen texture). A small fragment of the wall can be highlighted with river stones or wood trim.

    Round wood cuts are popular in eco-style as a finishing element. The active use of ornamental plants in the student's room is encouraged (at an earlier age it is better to refrain from this, as kids tend to put everything in their mouths).

    Thematic ideas for designing a boy's room

    It is better to choose the design of a room for a boy together with him. If he is still small, you can offer him a choice of several options.

    The teenage child should be allowed to come up with their own ideas and discuss them. It is good if his interests and hobbies are reflected in the interior, even if they are not included in the circle of the most traditional “boyish” topics - for example, ornithology or classical music.

    The more the environment matches the child's personality, the more comfortable the child will feel.

    Comics and superheroes

    Superhero themes are now popular not only among children. However, the world of comics is by no means limited to it.

    On sale you can find photo wallpapers with superheroes, but for children it is better to choose decorative elements that are easier to replace and move: figurines, toys, posters, attributes such as gloves and other costume elements.

    Space-themed

    Space-themed books, movies and games are endlessly varied, making it easy to match the decor to the boy's taste. These can be lighting fixtures in the form of planets, photo wallpapers with space landscapes, textile prints with motifs from your favorite game universes.

    Auto and other appliances

    This is also a popular theme for decorating a boy's room. However, often solutions of this kind (beds in the form of cars, too cartoonish decor, etc.) look too infantile. Soon after the boy goes to school, this design will no longer be relevant.

    It is better to approach the topic more seriously: instead of glossy posters, use drawings of items of equipment and vehicles (including aircraft), images of electric motors, etc. They do not become obsolete over time and stimulate the child's interest in technology.

    Bad themes

    An overly infantile, cartoonish, "kindergarten" design of a nursery would not be the best solution.
