Teenage Boy’s Bedroom
Hello Everyone!! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend and hopefully some nice weather!
Today, I am giving you a tour of my teenage son’s bedroom….warning, if you don’t like black you will not enjoy this post! 🙂
K. is 18….being a teenager and a boy, of course he loves BLACK! (what else??). He also has always had an interest in the military (my Hubs is active duty Infantry) and World War II…so when we redecorated his bedroom when he was 15, he wanted his bedroom to have lots of military pictures and accessories…..Hooah!
I love this bed from Haverty’s. It’s a slat bed, which means that there are many wooden slats running along the width of the bed. So instead of having to purchase both a mattress and box spring, all that is required is a cheaper mattress/bunkie board set! The bunkie board (a large wooden board wrapped in fabric) gives a bit more support and stability for the mattress. The other thing that sold us on this bed is that it has 2 drawers at the end of it (you can’t have enough storage in a teen’s room!). Each drawer has two beautiful brushed nickel knobs. I love the dark merlot stained cherry veneer, the panel headboard and turned feet too. It’s a masculine bed, great for a teen boy and will be perfect for him to take later to his first apartment or home. Also, it’s a very solid bed which I believe will last a long time.
Afghanistan Shemaghs (head scarf worn for wind and sun protection in desert conditions) – My husband brought several of these back from his deployments to Afghanistan. I hung them on 3M Command Hooks for a pop of masculing pattern and color.
Several framed postcards of the Canadian military presence in Afghanistan (from my hubby’s deployments there).
Framed print of D-Day (my son has always had an interest in World War II)
Green Day Poster!
Framed poster of Mi-24 HIND Military helicopter.
So that’s the tour!

OK, there’s one glaring elephant in the room that needs to be addressed here: How in the world is that teenage boy room so super tidy? Really. That’s a huge achievement in itself! You did a great job in there!
Did you tidy before you took this picture? It is the cleanest COOLEST boy’s room I’ve ever seen. I love all the thought that went into the decor. It’s so interesting. No wonder you have such thoughtful boys. It obviously was a room that inspired greatness 🙂
What a tastefully decorated boy’s room – you’ve definitely got a good one!
My favourite part, which you didn’t even mention, is the fan that looks like an airplane propeller 🙂 Perfect fit with all the other decor.
Excellent job. It’s very pulled together! Thanks for linking up at SaltTree’s Open Call Tuesdays.
Very nice. Lucky boy to have such a large room. My son is in a glorified closet!
Very Cool! My son would LOVE this! Thanks for the inspiration and sharing his space with us. So tickled to have found you. New follower 🙂

Oh wow, your son must just love that fabulous room! I love that it really represents his own personal style!
Neat room! Looks pretty good for a teen boy’s room to me!
love it…and yes I have a teenage son that loves black too!!!
Looks really good, kuddos to you. My kids wanted black bedroms too when they were teens. The youngest also wanted a nite time sky after a thunderstorm painted on his ceiling. We did it, looked pretty nice with clouds rolling away and stars peeking through.
That is a great room for a teen boy…my son would be very envious of this room for sure. The war memorabilia looks great!
Best wishes,

My son absolutely loved this. Do you know the name and brand of paint that used? thanks!!
Glad to hear your son loves it Wendy! Sorry I don’t know the color or brand of paint on the walls, we are renting and didn’t paint it. Its a creamy white color. Have a great day 🙂
Oh That looks so awesome! I really want to update my son’s room now! Thanks for the inspiration!
Nice! I have two teen boys who share a room – the older went off to college and the younger wants the room repainted. This is great inspiration.
Heather would yiu know the brand and style of the ceiling fan in the room you did for your son?
Sorry I don’t! It was in the home when we moved in.
What color are the walls? Which brand paint?
I don’t know – it had been painted before we moved in to the home!
I love this bed, but I can not find it… Havertys doesn’t sell it anymore. Do you know of another bed that would be similar… or anywhere that I might be able to find one of these?
Hi! This one is similar https://rstyle.me/n/de2j8w27qn It comes in a few colors! Hope that helps!
