Bedroom Talk

where can I find good ideas to decorate a teen boys bedroom besides Pottery Barn?

1. a scary thought.
2. Let the teen do it himself with posters.
3. why dont you just ask the teen boy what he would like in his room instead of doing it for him.
4. wow pottery barn?? Stores like "linens and things" or "bed bath and beyond" Let him pick the things he wants. Posters are good too
5. For teen boys less is more. No theme or over decoration. Color is great though. Work with what he already has, no sense going out and buying nice furniture when he'll be off to college soon anyways. A coat of paint, some new bedding and some simple art is all you need. If he has friends over a lot, make it a space where they can hang out with seating and access to their game systems, movie. music, whatever he's into. I wouldn't try and put chinsy art and decorative items around on his nightstand or dresser though. Teen boys tend to not appreciate this sort of thing. Modern, clean and paired down is great for boys. A couple bold colors paired with a neutral like gray, black, white or khaki is great. Orange, Blue and Yellow are great colors to use as long as their strong and bold rather than soft and pastel.
