In adolescence, a boy already has certain tastes, hobbies and preferences, which must be taken into account when choosing the design of his room. The child’s parents should pay attention mainly to the quality of building materials, the convenience and functionality of furniture and other similar factors, but appearance The nursery’s premises should be left to the discretion of the teenager, because he is the one to live in the room, and he should like it and be as comfortable as possible.
A teenage boy's room must meet the requirements
- Functionality;
- Practicality (nothing superfluous, only everything that is most convenient);
- Originality (the nursery should convey the child’s individuality);
- Attractiveness.
How to decorate a teenager's room
Boys like minimalism in the interior of the room. There should be nothing superfluous or cluttering up the space - only the most necessary furniture. The thematic design of the room should be chosen in accordance with the teenager’s hobbies. It could be sports, marine themes, cars, movie, game or cartoon characters.
The color scheme for the design of a teenage boy's room can be very different. No matter how commonplace shades of blue may be, they remain popular. Green and yellow will help create a cozy and warm atmosphere. Cool colors, like blue and purple contribute to better concentration of a teenager. Boys often love steel gray and black colors in clothing and interior design. But a room decorated entirely in these colors will be gloomy and uncomfortable.
Rarely will a boy willingly devote time to cleaning and putting things in order in the nursery. Therefore, it is recommended to use materials that will minimally get dirty or absorb dust in order to save the teenager from unnecessary chores.
Choosing the design of a nursery
The main thing in interior design for a teenager’s room is to decide on the main idea. Then the approximate color scheme of the room, specific interior items and their appearance. For example, if a teenager is passionate about the sea, travel and adventure, then a modern or antique map will look great on the wall of his room, a bedside table for things can be made in the form of a pirate chest, and round windows resembling portholes can be installed.
In what style can you decorate a teenager’s bedroom?
- Ethnic - for a child who is a fan of Eastern culture and philosophy;
- Sea or safari - for a boy who loves adventure and travel;
- Avant-garde, high-tech - for teenage techies or computer scientists;
- Kitsch or loft - for creative people (artists, musicians).
Avant-garde emphasizes the functionality of a teenager’s room, and the design focuses on large geometric shapes. The design welcomes pure bright colors - white, red, black, yellow, green, etc. contrasting combinations. Furniture in a nursery can be very original, strange in shape or design, but at the same time remains comfortable and practical for a teenager.
In the loft style, it is important to have large quantity free space in the room with the minimum furniture necessary for a teenager. The design of the surface of the walls and floors is deliberately rough and looks like, for example, brickwork or bare concrete. Communications such as heating or ventilation pipes are not hidden, but rather emphasized. All this contrasts with soft, bright furniture and trinkets. The main materials used in the interior of a children's room for a teenage boy in the loft style are plastic, glass, metal.
High tech - technological and modern style. The latest ones are used Construction Materials, the teenager's room is equipped with last word technology. The main materials are plastic, glass or metal, as well as fake diamond. The typical color scheme of the design is all kinds of metallic shades of gray and silver, black, white, blue, bright colors like green, red, yellow. There are no smooth transitions or different shades of the same color - only contrasts. All details of the room’s interior should be extremely comfortable and functional; built-in appliances are welcome. The lighting of the room is bright, mainly in the form of lamps, usually built into the ceiling, less often suspended, but extremely simple in design and shape. Any sports equipment will fit perfectly into a teenager's high-tech room. A room of this design may look empty or impersonal due to the minimal amount decorative elements, but on the other hand, nothing in it will distract the boy from his work.
Teenager's room nautical design can be converted into a small ship or its own cabin. If there are two boys in a family, then a children’s room zoned into two cabins will look very organic. This interior of a room for a teenager uses dark wood, metal elements, including anchors and chains, ropes, maps, compasses, telescopes and other marine paraphernalia. But it’s important not to overdo it, because a teenager is no longer Small child, and there should be no excessive theatrical stylization of the room.
If a teenager is a rebel in spirit and way of life, then perfect design for his room it will be kitsch. The main idea of the style is bad taste, elevated to the absolute. A combination of completely incompatible elements of furniture, decoration, and accessories. Bright flashy colors, catchy decor, chaotic and asymmetrical geometric shapes are welcome. However, in this version of the interior of a room for a teenage boy, a sense of proportion will also not hurt, so that the atmosphere in the room does not become completely uncomfortable and annoying for both the parents and the child himself.
Of course, this list is not exhaustive, but you can use it as a basis for your own ideas in the design of a room for a teenager.
Room zoning
The main areas of a teenage boy's room
- Work/study;
- Relaxation and entertainment.
The sleeping area in a teenage boy's nursery should be as simple and functional as possible. No unnecessary decor, curtains, exquisite designer lamps, bedside tables for small items, as is done for girls. If the room area is small, a good idea would be beds in the second tier - above the teenager’s desk or closet; folding beds, which during the day are hidden in a wall, closet or turned into a chair.
Even if a teenage boy plays sports and generally loves active image life, he will still spend some time at the computer. Therefore, the boy’s desk should be well lit. It can be placed by the window, combining the tabletop with the window sill. But if the room faces sunny side, then to prevent the bright sun in the morning or afternoon from blinding the child, it is better to hang thick curtains or compact blinds. Even if during the daytime natural light This will be enough for a teenager to study and read; in the evening, they will still need additional illumination of the workplace. The light from the table lamp should fall from the left. The best solution For lighting, there will be several compact lamps on the ceiling of the room, which will create uniform diffused light in the room.
The height of the table is selected in accordance with the height of the boy, and the size of the table top should allow the teenager to place equipment, books, notebooks and other office supplies there. If a child has a desktop computer, then the system unit should be placed under the table, and the keyboard on a special pull-out shelf. Buying a laptop for a boy will significantly save desk space.
To avoid having to change the chair too often as a teenager grows, it is worth taking an adjustable chair. The soft back and seat, which are usually equipped with such computer chairs, will reduce the load on the child’s spine when working at the desk.
What else should be in a nursery?
A teenager's room should have plenty of space for books, magazines, etc. interesting to a child printed products. If a teenager often takes part in sports competitions, educational olympiads or some other competitions, then it is worth making several shelves on the wall or in the closet for his awards. Seeing them every day, the child will feel more self-confidence, which is important in adolescence, will be more motivated to new achievements, and will be able to show off to friends who come to visit, increasing his authority in the company.
So that a teenage boy can pay attention to his physical fitness, you can install 1-2 exercise machines in the room. But not all parents can afford to buy expensive equipment, and there is not always enough space for it in the nursery. In this case, you can limit yourself to installing a horizontal bar.
If a teenager is interested in collecting, for example, car models, figurines of fantasy heroes or anything else, then in the children's room you need to provide shelving to accommodate this collection.
Plush toys, soldiers and cars in adolescence are usually replaced by a game console and TV. And it should be convenient for a teenager to use them. The playing part of the room should be located opposite the bed, or equipped with several soft chairs or armchairs so that the child can comfortably spend time with friends. If there is not enough space in the room for large armchairs, then it is worth installing compact ottomans, comfortable bean bags, or simply laying a thick and soft carpet on which the teenager will sit warmly even in the winter cold.
Of course, it is not at all necessary that a teenager will be interested in games and watching movies; it can also be music, drawing, modeling, woodworking and much more. But there must be a place for doing what you love in the child’s room.
Boys usually do not have such a rich wardrobe as girls, so a small closet will suffice in the room. A wardrobe built into the wall will be excellent, convenient and practical solution for storing teenagers' clothes and shoes. For other things, you can purchase several chests of drawers with drawers.
Important ! At this age, as teenagers grow older, their tastes change frequently and quickly.
Therefore, all paraphernalia in the room related to children’s hobbies should be made removable so that you don’t have to renovate it. That is, for example, it is better to hang posters with a teenager’s favorite musical artists, rather than make wallpaper with them.
How to arrange a room for two teenage boys
If two children live in the room adolescence, then the children’s area should be divided very carefully so that none of them feels discriminated against. If teenagers have similar hobbies, then you can make a common recreation area in their room.
A long work table will help optimize the work area space.
You can buy a bunk bed only if the children can peacefully agree on who will sleep where. But no matter how friendly the brothers are, when designing a room for two teenage boys, it is necessary to take into account that each of them should have their own personal space.

Next, it would be a good idea to consult with your child, find out what he wants, how he or she sees the new room.

A teenager's room should not look like a bedroom in kindergarten. But at the same time, this is not yet an adult room. Can be combined here different styles, colors, decorative elements. It all depends on the individuality of your child. It is necessary to take into account the interests, preferences, and hobbies of a growing person.

Hobby even on the wall - a combination of creativity and beauty
There are many styles and trends that meet the needs of the most extraordinary person.
High tech
A direction characterized by a cold palette. Plain walls and furniture, chrome parts, gray or steel accessories. This design does not imply any floral patterns or ornaments. However, it leaves the opportunity to diversify your space with posters, posters, and photographs.
Strict geometric shapes of furniture predominate. Using all kinds of shelving and wall shelves, will give such an interior airiness. Bright details, such as pillows, curtains, ottomans, will add vital energy into the overall strict surroundings.
Such a room may well appeal to a person who knows exactly what he wants and is relentlessly moving towards his goal. This is a place where everything is always in its place and there is almost never any clutter.
Modern
This style is characterized by conciseness and comfort. It is distinguished by several parameters:
- Calm main background for the decoration of walls and ceilings.
- Furniture of simple shapes.
- Convenience of organized space.
- Finishing using high-tech materials.
Just like High-Tech, it allows bright accents in moderation. The versatility of this solution is emphasized by the fact that both girls and boys can like it equally.
Classic style
Characterized by wooden furniture, traditional shades, light wallpaper (with dim patterns or monochrome), the usual window design with curtains with companions (tulle, organza).
The most practical of all:
- Does not require trendy finishing materials.
- Textured wallpaper on the walls fits perfectly into the overall picture (at the same time, possible unevenness in the walls is hidden).
- As the child grows, the room can undergo only minor changes without requiring a drastic change in style.
Marine theme
A very popular destination at all times. Ideal for dreamers, lovers of travel and adventure novels.
For the most part, boys prefer this environment. But let's not exclude girls from this category.
This design is dominated by Blue colour in all its variations - from sky blue to rich indigo. White, brown, red and green shades combine favorably here. Photo wallpapers fit perfectly into the context marine theme, details of ship equipment, frescoes on the walls depicting sea wave, sand on the beach.
The furniture in such a room is usually stylized into the overall design concept. For example, bunk bed, will become a real ship for the brothers.
Musical direction
Young music fans will appreciate it. There is no limit to imagination here. From classical to rock, any direction can serve as a basis for the embodiment of creative ideas.
Portraits of your favorite performers on the walls, musical instruments, sheet music, CDs and records are just a small list of what can decorate the room of your young talent.
In such an interior there cannot be clear color restrictions. Everything will depend on the owner’s preferences. Turn the nursery into a music studio or rock cafe and, believe me, you yourself will be happy to visit your musician.
When decorating a room for a teenager in this style, take care of additional sound insulation. Thick linoleum with a sound-absorbing effect or a thick, long-pile carpet that imitates grass can be a salvation. By the way, most teenagers love to sit on the floor with a laptop or favorite book.
Girl's studio
Apartments for a teenage girl are distinguished by an abundance of accessories, decorative elements, and a delicate palette of colors. Young ladies are dreamy and romantic. They strive to surround themselves with beautiful things, which must certainly be reflected in the interior.
Pink country
Paris
A room with a French theme will make your dream of beautiful distant cities and countries come true.
The main elements for such a room are:
- warm powdery shades in wall decoration (beige, peach, creme brulee);
- soft flowing curtains on the windows;
- images of the Eiffel Tower in various variations (this could be a photo wallpaper or a mural on the wall, a poster or a photograph in stylish frame, figurines, pendants or postcards);
- grace and aristocracy in everything - from furniture to decorations.
Designer or not
When the decision to remodel the room has been made and the style has been decided, another question arises: invite a professional designer or develop the project yourself?
Let's consider both options in detail.
Designer
1 Has extensive experience, knows what goes with what, how to choose furniture, wallpaper, paint. It will do its job quickly enough.
2 The entire interior will be thought out to the smallest detail, the room will turn out perfect, even in a picture. BUT! This project will not preserve the warmth of the soul; the design will be beautiful, but alien.
3 Designer services are not cheap.
Mother father me
1 Creating a design project on your own is not easy! BUT! You have a great opportunity to engage in joint creativity with the whole family. The main owner of the new housing will directly participate in its creation, thereby bringing his ideas to life.
2 Don't forget that teenagers grow up and new interior Your child can get bored very quickly. Hence the question: is it really necessary to spend money on an expensive designer if in a couple of years all this will become irrelevant.
3 The money saved on a designer can be spent on more expensive furniture, which, unlike walls, will last for many years.
Marine theme up - unusual, but original
Which color to choose
If you decide to do everything yourself and not get hung up on expensive design, I suggest you first choose the color of the new room.
The psychophysical state of the individual living in it depends on which tones predominate in a living space.
Thus, an abundance of rich red shades can lead to aggression or, conversely, cause depression. The dominance of too dark and gloomy colors provokes a breakdown. Incompatible shades give rise to absent-mindedness and disharmony in thoughts.
Here are some examples of successful color combinations in the interior.
There is absolutely no need to overload the interior with an abundance of colors. It is enough to add a bright accessory to enliven the space. Conversely, details of a calm color can dilute an overly saturated color.

- A good choice would be a couch, which often has not only drawers, but also a soft backrest and a mechanism for transforming into a double bed. Plus, it can be used as a sofa when friends come to visit. True, couches are often not very big sizes and for tall guys 16 and 17 years old can be cramped.

Tip 7. Choose practical and not too expensive pieces of furniture, textiles and wall decorations
Frequent snacks in bed and at the desk or, say, fun get-togethers with friends are fraught with rapid damage to walls, curtains, carpets and upholstery. Therefore, you should not decorate a teenager’s bedroom with too high-quality wallpaper, furnish it with expensive furniture and decorate it with curtains made of expensive fabric. Ideally, the walls should simply be painted, and furniture should be purchased without carvings or unnecessary parts that complicate cleaning. The ideal curtains for a teenager's room are thick or (they are easy to wash and adjust in length), as well as blackout curtains.
Here are some useful tips to help a young man learn to keep order:
- Buy a shallow closet and/or chest of drawers. Narrow furniture (30-45 cm deep) will not only save space, but also allow you to store things more intelligently. The fact is that in shallow closets it is very convenient to put things not in stacks, according to the principle of vertical storage, when things are first folded into rectangles or rolls, and then stacked one after another (and not on top of each other). This way, the house of cards effect on the clothing shelves will be eliminated! However, in standard cabinets 60 cm deep you can store things in the same way.
It’s more convenient to store things in a chest of drawers than on the shelves of a closet, but still, you can’t do without a closet, or rather without hangers, in a teenage boy’s room, because they allow you to store school uniforms, shirts and T-shirts so that they don’t wrinkle.
- Hang a trouser hanger and a couple of hooks for belts, caps and sweatshirts in the closet.
- Place a basket for collecting laundry in the dressing room area so that mom doesn’t have to look for scattered socks and T-shirts throughout the room.
It is highly desirable in a boy's room. It's so great when young man there is a place where he can warm up, let off steam, work on muscle tone and health. You should choose a sports complex based on the room's capabilities. So, in a small room, the ideal choice for a teenager would be a horizontal bar on which you can hang a punching bag or gymnastic rings.
- If there is at least 1 free person in the room square meter, then you can install a sports complex consisting of a wall bars, a horizontal bar, parallel bars and an abdominal bench.
In addition to the sports complex, a basketball hoop, weights and dumbbells will be useful in the boy’s room (up to the age of 16, these should be light weights; before this age, it is more correct to train with your own weight).
The photo below shows examples of how a sports complex can fit into the interior of a teenage boy’s room.

The main thing is that all decorative items not only please the eye, but also reflect the interests and character of the boy, mean something to him, amuse him and even motivate him. Below in the selection of photos are examples of room decor for teenage boys.
Uniform lighting creates a cozy atmosphere and visually enlarges the room, and most importantly, does not strain the eyesight of its occupant. Ideally, the chandelier should be supplemented/replaced with spotlights. There must be some on the desk and by the bed. desk lamp or sconce, and in the play/sofa area you can put a floor lamp.
Tip 12. If possible, arrange a place to relax and receive guests
In their room, boys not only sleep and study, but also, of course, relax, read, watch movies, play video games and chat with friends. Therefore, a recreation area here will be very useful.
- A TV in a teenager’s room is not the most useful thing, but it is very desirable, especially if the boy is the proud owner of a game console. The most compact option for placing equipment is wall-mounted; the console is placed on a narrow wall shelf. An example of such a solution is shown in the photo below.
Another good option is placement in a rack/bedroom set.
- It’s good if there is space in the room for a couple of armchairs or for one that can accommodate 2-3 friends at once and where a guest who has stayed too long can spend the night.
If there is not much space in the bedroom, place a cozy chair or ottoman.
Well, if there isn’t even enough space for ottomans, then just lay a carpet on the floor and have guest pillows, which, if necessary, can simply be scattered on the floor for Turkish-style gatherings.
- In addition to the console and TV, in a teenage boy’s room you can put a table for chess and board games, synthesizer, drum set, table football.
According to sports superstition, you should not count your trophies, so as not to scare away your luck. But we are sure that it is possible and necessary to store them on shelves and in plain sight. After all, diplomas, certificates, cups and medals not only decorate the interior, but also inspire new achievements.
