How to set up teen guys bedroom?

There's 2 teenage boys who will be sharing a bedroom. They are cousins. They are both freshman in high school(they will be sophomores next school year). We were wondering what are some possibilities to paint their room and what comforters and blankets and sheets they night like and what type of other things they might like in their room and everything. They are both athletic(one boy likes soccer, track and field and baseball and the other boy likes running, skiing, and track and field) I don't really know what their other interests are.

1. Get them a 360 and some sports games and they won't care what their room looks like. But if it really matters that much, just get some football and baseball beanbags and some of those life-sized poster things. As for beds, go for green. Green is awesome.
2. I have to tell you that most young men are not too particular about their rooms. If it was me, I would keep the room mostly masculine looking and not much clutter to it. Try starting with two twin or double beds (depending on room) and matching headboards. I would go with either a micro suede or faux leather for young men in a neutral colour. I would go with maybe a black headboard with taupe comforter and white sheets. Maybe add a black throw and some cushions in dark red or burgandy (leather would be good). The walls would be a light taupe colour and maybe one important framed picture above each boy's bed. I would choose a picture of the sport they enjoy playing, maybe an important athlete to them. You may want to incorporate a desk for each boy if you have the room. Maybe even wall mounted light fixtures so each of them can have their own light to work in bed or read. Also, keep the window treatments simple, maybe horizontal blinds or roman blinds. And don't forget to add some storage somewhere in the room. Under the bed can be utilized for this as well. Good luck with it. Connie Beland / Owner Wall Huggers
