My clients are busy organizing for the upcoming school year. In my Seattle interior design practice I receive lots of requests for color ideas but not as often for teen boy bedrooms. In this post I have a color scheme for a teen boy and ideas to pull it all together. This vibrant blue is a bold choice for a focal wall and the deep taupe on the side walls anchors and tones the warm rich chocolate. I think a bounce of the Sundance yellow as a lamp, beanbag chair, frame or pillow will make his room have personality. You can find suggestions and ideas like these in my newsletter.

Or, gather up to 3 images and a question about your teen bedroom and for $50 get started on a Fast Solution. Are you ready? Let’s do this!

With this color scheme in place I suggest bedcovering fabrics in a pinstripe combined with solids. I found this oxford cloth sample with wide and narrow stripes at Williams Sonoma Home . It adds an easygoing style with the style of casual men’s shirting.

Finally, to make this ‘teen’ and not staid, I found this area rug to place diagonally and partially under the bed or where it isn’t fully exposed.

This is a busy pattern and exposing a portion rather than the entire rug pulls the color theme together.
