Teen Kids Room – Decorating for Boys
Teen Kids Room is a relatively new website to assist you to create your own unique teen kids room.
I realised lately there has been a huge focus on creating a Twilight Bedroom, which does not help a lot of teen boys to create a suitable bedroom for themselves. I therefore will be spending a bit of time posting some ideas for some unique boys bedrooms.
If you are looking for a specific bedroom design or style for your own male teen kids room, please feel free to leave a comment or contact us with your ideas and we will be sure to include some ideas for you on that theme or topic.
For now, we are going to start with sports. Most boys are into sports – either following sports or participating. Boys who are interested in sports usually have a team or a sporting hero whom they follow or aspire to be. This can be a great idea for creating a themed room for your male teen kids room.
First Step – Deciding on the Theme
Does your son enjoy a particular sport, such as American Football, Ice Hockey or Soccer? You should work with your son when creating the ideal teen kids room, and use the time for bonding and getting creative together. Be open to what your son wants and if his suggestions are not to your liking, rather than saying no, try compromising. For example, if your son loves black and wants a black bedroom, compromise by suggesting a black feature wall. This can look very effective and not darken the bedroom at all when only used as a feature.
Step Two – Colour Scheme
Now that the two of you have decided on a theme for your teen kids room, the choosing of the colours should be fairly simple and straight forward. For examples, the colours of the team your son follows, or the colours of your country flag if they are going for a patriotic theme.
Step Three – Working Out What You Need
This step depends on your budget and what you actually need to bring your teen kids room theme to life. What do you have that you can use already? Do you know of anyone who may have what you need and be interested in giving it to you or selling it to you? Can you find what you need on eBay? Can you use your creativity to make what you need and just buy a few pieces of materials to assist you to do this? Or do you need an entire new range of furniture?
Step Four – Make a Start
The best way to get something done is to just start! Buy what you need for the room, start drawing plans, brain storm with your son on what he’d like and take action to make it happen
