If you can’t convince, suggest adjusting this design using contrasts with the color of the furniture. You can also choose an alternative way to solve the problem - to make only one wall bright (dark), and the rest more calm.

What is the main thing here? Of course, the materials from which the furniture is made. The most commonly selected are metal and wood. Their advantages and disadvantages are discussed below.

So, having considered all the pros and cons of these materials, choose the one that suits you best.
Bed
Among all the furniture, the most important is the bed, this is a place for rest and recreation. Above, we have already mentioned some important points regarding this interior item. What else do you need to know? For convenience and saving room space, you can choose a model with a drawer, where some things and bedding can be stored.
Beds with drawers are great for smaller spaces.
Moreover, they can be of various sizes.
Next to the bed you can place nightstands with or without a floor lamp.
Or a small table.
Beautifully and gracefully look bedside shelves. This is in the spirit of minimalism, which is liked by many teenagers.

Convenient work area (place for classes)
Since all teenagers study either at school or at other educational institutions, they need a good job. The table must be comfortable and fit the boy in height. The size is selected in accordance with the subjects that are necessary for classes, and there should also be enough free space for arranging books and working in notebooks. Modern tables have all the necessary equipment for teenagers: shelves for office, drawers and much more. If you have a computer, you can choose a special computer table with a stand for the monitor, a sliding panel for the keyboard and a lower shelf for the system unit. Although lately the compactness of the laptop has been increasingly preferred, it will significantly save the size of the desktop. Convenient and ergonomic device are wall shelves or racks, which are located above the table or on the side of it at arm's length. That is, the boy does not need to get up every time to take the necessary book or other items, you only have to lend a hand.
An armchair or chair is also important to choose the right size that will ideally fit the height of the table. For convenience, you can take an adjustable chair. The back and seat should be soft, this will relieve part of the load on the body of a young man.
For convenience, place a lamp on the desktop that should be positioned so that the light hits the left.
Place for relaxation and entertainment
Each person needs a place where he will relax and do what he loves, even if it is a game of the console with friends. To do this, depending on the size of the room, select the zone in which the attributes for entertainment will be located. Most often, this is a TV and game console. In this case, in front of the TV, just not very close, put the chairs - their number will depend on the number of guests who are simultaneously coming in the youth.
If the area allows, plan a place for relaxation and gatherings with friends.
If there is no room for chairs, you can purchase special bags that have become popular recently. But if you want to save space even more, you can lay a very soft carpet, where guests and the owner of the room will be located.
Of course, the boy may have other hobbies, for example, sports, music, modeling, designing and so on. In any case, for this it is necessary to organize a special place where the boy will be pleased to do what he loves. It is important that it is well lit.
Lighting is the key to health
The ideal lighting option would be the union of a large window and additional lights for the evening. True, it is not always appropriate to use a large window size. For example, if the room faces the sunny side, then you should take care to darken the room using curtains or blinds. In this case, the window opening can be made small. But with regard to fixtures, it is important to know that there should be several, preferably located on the ceiling at an equal distance from each other. This will create diffuse lighting, which is a good option. You can even make several switches, each of which will turn on and off only certain lamps. This little trick will save energy. For example, the boy currently needs light only in the working area, then he can turn on the lights just above this part of the room, and the rest will be turned off as unnecessary. That is, it turns out that over each zone in the room their own lamps and individual switches will be installed. By the way, why are we talking specifically about lamps? Because few young people prefer chandeliers, it is more female. The maximum that young men still choose is the floor lamps of modern models for the bedside zone.
Zoning with fixtures
Diffuse lighting
Another important point regarding lighting - do not choose fluorescent lamps, they have a magnetic field and flicker, which affects vision, especially for a young person. Better let ordinary lamps be in the lamps.
How to help a teenager decorate their room
To decorate their monastery, teens often choose sports themes. It could be a bike suspended above the bed.
Or an image of your favorite sports game on the wall. It is important for boys, in general, to be surrounded by attributes of their hobbies, then they feel confident.
If a young man is passionate about the sea and adventures, then, naturally, he will want to convey this atmosphere to the whole room. Beige and blue tones, curtains with a picture of ships and gulls, a chest with the same theme image on the walls of a painting with yachts, one of them has a lifebelt mimic frame - which can be more romantic. Such a young man probably has a poetic soul. He longs for wanderings, and the design of his room speaks about this.
Marine motifs for travel lovers
Another example of a boy’s room suggests that her master is keen on skateboarding.
Based on this, we can conclude that the young man has a bold and decisive character, impulsiveness and perseverance. Accordingly, the design of the room in black and red colors is suitable for such a boy. This perfectly characterizes the lifestyle that a teenager leads.
For serious young people, a strict minimalist design is suitable - nothing superfluous, no jewelry and all that. The maximum that they can add to their room is a simple and unusual pattern. The photo below shows such a design with an imitation of continents on the globe. The color palette of such people is limited to gray, black and white. Maybe a small wooden bedside table, natural color.
A strict interior is suitable for serious and purposeful teens
Many young people prefer such an interior precisely because of the lack of bright colors, which contributes to calm, relaxation and good mental work.
In general, the decor of young people can be the most unusual, they want to express themselves, and this happens due to the design of their room. You can find such a decor as wood.
The wall adjacent to the bed is fully decorated with wooden stripes, a mirror frame made of the same material and a wooden shelf near the bed. Here the spirit of nature reigns, the smell of wood, its unique pattern and texture envelop the room and bring comfort to it.
Many teenage boys like to decorate the walls with posters with their favorite characters in films, sports, and so on. In order not to spoil the walls, because the preferences of young men often change, you can offer an interesting way of decoration. Take a sheet of plywood, chipboard is also suitable, and glue it with a self-adhesive film. On such a surface, a teenager can stick everything that he wants and then easily change posters or drawings. If necessary, the film is easy to replace, it is not as expensive as changing the wallpaper or repainting the walls. Thus, the young man himself will create his own corner of hobbies.
For the facades of furniture, special stickers were invented, which are subsequently removed without a trace. Now there is a wide selection of different topics for such stickers that can be matched to absolutely any age, including teenage. This type of decor looks more solid and accurate than magazine or newspaper clippings. Nowadays, they began to make stickers from luminescent film, which the young generation really likes due to the fact that they glow in the dark.
Although dark tones are not so often used in bedrooms, but when used correctly, they are able to contribute their share of originality.
So, when creating a teenage room, think, first of all, about the convenience for the young man who will live in it. Do not strive to realize all your fantasies and dreams here. May these be your son’s dreams. He must choose its design, depending on his preferences. First of all, the boy should like the room.
