Answer
For teen boys less is more. No theme or over decoration. Color is great though. Work with what he already has, no sense going out and buying nice furniture when he'll be off to college soon anyways. A coat of paint, some new bedding and some simple art is all you need. If he has friends over a lot, make it a space where they can hang out with seating and access to their game systems, movie. music, whatever he's into. I wouldn't try and put chinsy art and decorative items around on his nightstand or dresser though. Teen boys tend to not appreciate this sort of thing.

Modern, clean and paired down is great for boys. A couple bold colors paired with a neutral like gray, black, white or khaki is great. Orange, Blue and Yellow are great colors to use as long as their strong and bold rather than soft and pastel.

Here are some pictures to get you going:

Teenage boy bedroom decorating ideas and tips?

boys bedroom ideas teenage image

Q. My son is coming home in a month and I want to give him a "new bedroom",The problem is I am on a TIGHT BUDGET,He loves music and has his drums and guitars already in there.He also likes calming classy colors.Any ideas how I can incorporate the 2 and on a budget?

Answer
Well, my older bro has his room painted a dark brownish tan color, with blue bedding. its very calming. he also likes music so he has a couple framed pics of some of his favorite bands on the wall. he also doesnt have alot of furniture, which is helpful for him because its more space to do stuff in. all teenage boys are messy, so my parents have a few storage places for him in there under his bed and in his closet. i hope that helps!

What are good ideas for a teenage boys room to smell good?

Noclue

Everytime he opens his bedroom door it smells like a mens locker room what can I do or put in his room so it would smell good and won't seep into other parts of my house. I don't want to hurt his feelings ..... I just need a solution for this locker room smell. Help please, I've tried sprays also.

Answer
My younger brothers(all 3 of them, imagine THAT smell) are the same way---I move out of the house and can't stand to go back because it's like the smell multiplied! Here's some tricks my mom uses:

*Sneak dryer sheets wherever you can hide them, under his mattress, in the bottom of the laundry bin, in drawers.
*Regularly spray the room with febreeze, the kind for surfaces and for air. My mom goes through a family size bottle a week. Guys don't like Febreeze usually, don't let him know you're doing it.
*Don't use scented air fresheners, they just make the room smell like berry breeze body odor--NOT pleasant.
*Regularly ridding the room of dirty laundry helps, as does changing his sheets regularly.
*Try to encourage your son to shower before laying in his bed, I know this is tricky and you might have to be creative in how you get him to want to shower. Cash or food rewards are always welcomed ;)

Good luck--boys are gross, and sadly they never grow out of it, I have to encourage my fiance to shower and put deodorant on as well, *sigh*
