Need help w/ teen boy room....Camo theme
Comments (14)Hi becca, I too am one who hates hunting camo. That being said, I come from a family of men who love to hunt. We also bleed purple and gold (LSU) so I combined the two feels to give him a true Louisiana boys room with a gentleman's touch while not being trendy. Again not sure if your talking Mossy Oak or Desert Storm, but this what I did in my son's room in our old home. I painted the room BM Woodstock Tan (a deep sort of brown). I bought a duvet and had a cover made from an army green colored cordouroy (sp) with wooden buttons for the enclosure (also had a sham made). I used RL leopard sheets on the bed with the Mossy Oak camo panels on the windows. What I didn't account for when making the duvet cover was the weight of the cordouroy (it is really heavy) nice in the winter, but I take it off in the summer and just use the white duvet. It lightens things up a bit (can get dirty if not careful). Also, I swap out the camo panels in the summer for white ones as well. The other camo accent that I had in that room was a portrait of him in camo with his gun from my father sitting on an old shotgun shell box. His furniture is different from that you will have as his is all antique from my grandmother's, but I am sure this can be retrofitted to match your furniture. The great thing about these colors is that they are pretty neutral so accent colors stand out well. Like the purple and gold LSU newsprints that I have matted in purple in his room and other LSU paraphanalia. Red also looks good against these colors. All of these colors and patterns may sound a bit busy, but used properly they compliment each other really well. We have since moved from this home, but I continue to use variations of this since it is something that works well with all ages and can grow with them. Hope this helps, I will try to find and attach a picture if I can. Shannon...See MoreTeen Boy's Room Finally ready to go
Comments (7)My son went from a larger bed to a smaller college bed for his freshman year, and actually preferred the long twin. :) Said it was really comfortable. Now, he is back to a larger bed again. I love that loft bed, but I can imagine why your son would want to come down and sleep in a normal bed. That must be a pain to get in and out of!!!...See MoreNeed help for teen boy's bedroom!
Comments (3)I don't have specific color suggestion. I'd just pull a few you are ok with and then let him choose the specific one from there. I don't think it will look depressing. Dark, yes, but if it's his room, no biggie. That ceiling will seem very short though painted that dark. I'd do baseboards gray or black. If you do a traditional white it's not going to look right. I think it's great of you to let your kid be so expressive....See Morelayout/design help needed for teen boy bedroom
Comments (12)what a great space for him. so many ideas. first thing I'd do is some built-ins in some of those nooks. simple plywood, paint. For books, video games, collections, etc. that inset next to the J would be the perfect spot for a built in bookcase. Look at Ikea hacks, or DIY inset bookcase tutorials. Ikea Billy Bookcasehack: https://food52.com/blog/25110-best-ikea-billy-bookcase-hacks how about a mural (peel and stick) of some sort? you could do it on the wall or on that sloped ceiling above his bed. bring in some sstring lights and drape them from wall to wall do a lower bed like this, back in that corner, string the lights around it, and remove that nightstand, replace w/a cute table. or something like this platform style bed. put on a regular mattress or a futon mattress. do a diff light. remove that futon across from it and bring in a low-boy dresser of some type. bring in lots of thin, cotton dhurrie rugs you could do a roman clay treatment on the wall and paint a dark color. maybe bring in some faux beams from side to side drape the lights over those: for the lower areas that are wasted space, do something like these low open shelf cubbies (enlarge this pic to see them) decor ideas, lighting, bean bags, get some cheap pine tongue and groove flooring (lumber liquidators) and install it on one wall, or on one of the angled ceilings, or around the desk area, behind the sofa, etc what's under that carpet? some type of wood? you could paint it w/porch paint and thrown down a bunch of cool looking rugs. maybe redo the desk w/Ikea desk hacks. you could get a solid piece of butcher block (or a remnant), span it to fit across the entire area under the window, (use cleats to get it to 'float') and then some pull out ikea drawers. or something like this gray one. maybe hang a light directly over the desk, or get a desk light remove that heavy blue drape, and do an inset window blind. I did this black cellular blind on my sons bedroom window. If you get the blackout option, you won't need the heavy drape to block out the light. something liek this. it's less bulky looking, the desk looks better, (frame out the window w/white trim if you're using a dark shade), and the pendant light gives overhead light in that dark space....See More

2 years agoVery nice room. I agree about the nightstands, and a desk if it fits. There are many compact and foldable types if the room is small.
Is he allowed to put up his own posters or anything? If you need to keep it "reigned in", frame them, or get him a big pegboard to put up above the desk, where all of his personal touches can go.
Ikea (their selection is pretty limited these days though):
"Ladder Desks" like this are common, this one is from West Elm:
^^ I wouldn't do a chair like this though, it's bulky. A simpler chair w/o arms or a stool would tuck under it nicely and be out of the way.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agotry any of these (minus the feminine wall accents) I'd remove those current pictures you have over the bed.
try a black or dark wall, some wood nightstand tables, maybe a green plant
add some simple batten pieces to go up to the ceiling. paint dark to match wall. bring in some leather elements.
\this one is cool w/the wood shelf
I like this one. dark wall, simple nightstands, the heavy shelves. then he can hang his own art
does he like color? sports? I like the skateboard design above the bed.
These are an easy DIY. Iron pipe fittings and wood shelving.
industrial. faux brick peel and stick wall paper.
pipe shelves. add some reclaimed wood to a charcoal accent wall
wood slats are also rreally cool
I like this extra storage 'bench' at the foot of the bed
Why not show him these pics and see what he likes?arcy_gw

Houzz has such good articles, and this one is worth reading. Here's part: "This eclectic bedroom stretches the limits of minimalism by blending the pendants into the wall. The result is pure function, as the aesthetic is more about what is not there."
Interesting that it's not typical stand, but a table I guess... casual... can be changed without much.
