Decorating a Teen Boy Room
Cool and Comfortable

Decorating a teen boy room can be tricky, no doubt. Your precious little cherub has likely turned into a big hairy guy who leaves the toilet seat up, plays loud music and stays out too late. What happened? While that question is still a mystery to me, I can tell you how to say I love you to a kid who runs away or turns red at the slightest thought of his mother giving him a smooch. Show him affection by helping him to create a hideaway all his own. While he still is expected to follow the rules of the house, you can encourage his uniqueness by allowing him to have control over some area of his life, his room.

Choose a paint color combination when decorating a teen boy room the room that says I�m cool not a kid. Nothing says this better than metallic paint. It provides a modern back drop for a cool new look. Black and white color combinations are always a win for the masculine taste. Use sparingly around the room such as a sleek black and white striped tailored bed skirt or a throw rug. Keep linens simple in color and design.

Below is an example of a paint color combination for decorating a teen boy room. It's masculine with a modern twist.

The walls are painted blue and the trim white. Black and white stripes are used in the pattern of the bedskirt. Solid black is used for throw rugs, the comforter and lamp shades. Simple white mini blinds are used for window coverings. A stainless steel finish is chosen for the lampsand to accent the straight lined furniture. This look proves that guys can be classy too.

Paint an entire room with magnetic paint. I�m a huge fan of this fantastic product! This allows your teen to express himself with no nail holes! Buy or make magnets and stick to painted wall. That�s all there is to it.

Decorating a teen boy room takes some imagination. Buy a pack of 50 to 100 blank cds at your local discount store. Flip them over shiny side up. Glue together to create frames for pictures, glue to cover lamp shades, or hang from the ceiling by wire to create a unique mobile.

Use funky shower curtains for drapes when decorating a teen boy room. The kind with grommets are easy to attach to the curtain rod with shiny silver shower curtain rings.

For the sports buff, scout tag sales for old sporting goods and equipment that can be used in groups for wall d�cor. Attach golf clubs or hockey sticks directly to the wall. If long enough, you could even use them for curtain rods. When I decorated my movie room I found lots of paraphernalia on ebay. It saved me the time it would have taken hunting stuff at yard sales.

Use furniture that is multifunctional. A Wyman Office Sleeperworks great for this. The bed folds up into a desk when not in use. It�s also a good option for a dorm room.

Even though the time is getting closer to when your teen will move away and begin to fend for himself, you can feel confident that you did everything possible to make the most of his last few years at home. So, have patience and keep your chin up when decorating a teen boy room.
