• Allow the teen to help choose the design for his bedroom.interior a bedroom image by Leonid Nyshko from Fotolia.com
  
  The teenage years are an ideal time for young people to explore various design styles. Providing more than just a place to sleep, teen boys use their bedrooms to study, relax and entertain. Carefully choose the theme and elements of the room to reflect the personality of the teen boy to avoid an "overdone" appearance.
  
  

Skateboarding

• For the teen boy who enjoys skateboarding or other extreme sports, include the colors and elements that reflect a skater look. Attach skateboards to the walls. Prepare a focal wall by painting a large graffiti name on the wall in skater style. Bold colors in stripes and solids provide a balance to graffiti and skateboard artwork.
  
  

Sports Themes

• From NASCAR to the NFL, sport themes are favorite choices for teen boy designs. Give the room a mature feel by focusing on solid colors with sports memorabilia framed or displayed in collector cases. Paint walls specific team colors, coordinating with throws, rugs and bedding. The sports theme room can handle an over saturation of team-related merchandise as the point of the room is to say "I am a fan."
  
  

Modern and Masculine

• Provide a modern, masculine look with neutral colors combined with black and silver. Use bedding and other textiles that feature large blocks of colors in a variety of grays, browns and beige. Black furniture and silver accents add a modern touch to the room. The decor should remain minimalistic to lend a cleanness to the space.
  
  

The Great Outdoors

• Bring the outdoors in with blues, greens and browns. Accent the outdoor theme of a teen boy's room with wallpaper, borders and stencils featuring bears, fish and other wildlife. Choose heavy flannels in bold colors for bedding, upholstery and curtains. Faux-fur rugs and throws add a rustic charm. Deer antler coat-racks, lamps and other accessories bring the room together. Consider hanging fishing rods, nets and baskets on the walls. Furnishings crafted out of pine logs finish the room.
  
  

Outer Space

• Create an aspiring astronomer's dream with a space-themed room for a teen boy. Paint the ceiling and one wall black. Use white paint to create stars on the black background, forming real constellations. Paint the remaining walls white. Frame and hang terrestrial maps and space-related artwork in thick black frames. Dark-colored bedding and silver accents complete the room.
