Here are some tips to create your dream room. Have fun!

Steps

Draw or create your dream room. Go to pbteen.com and check out the design studio, or go to dressupgames.com and find some cool room design games. You can even use The Sims 2 or The Sims 3! This should help get your creativity going!
Clean out your room! Plan with a parent and set a date to go to an orphanage, the salvation army, set up a garage sale (this is a great idea if you don’t have money to buy new furniture, or if you need more money) another place where you could drop off your old furniture, games and toys. When cleaning, Put on some fun, upbeat music! This should really help you get going. Set up your stuff into 4 piles: Throw away, Give Away, Keep, Recycle. Start a small area at a time, such as under the bed, then closet, then bookshelf, etc. Have huge garbage bins handy and a hamper/clothing bin for clothes lying around. Also, get rid of dust, dirt and other gross things with feather dusters and pledge. Another cool idea is to pretend your on a cleaning game show. It may seem weird but you can really get into it, especially if you video tape yourself on a computer or camera!
Paint! Choose a color that will go with you theme. Start painting now, while your room is empty. It will be much easier. Try choosing light colors to make your room look spacious.
Go shopping! Okay, this is the fun part! Go to all different stores, from PB teen to salvation army! Here is my personal favorites: TJMaxx, Pottery Barn Teens, (pbteen.com), Ikea (ikea.com) get basic furniture (white or wood) and use sheets, duvet covers, carpets, tables, chairs, posters/picture frames to express yourself instead, because you can always change these. You could also convince your mom/dad to buy you a poster or painting because you cleaned out your room!
Have some fun extras! Now, after you got the basic furniture and sheets, time to get the little extras. Go to a variety of unpopular stores, flea markets, donation stores and more to choose items that your friends won’t have, and they’ll express you!!!
Set it all up! Make your room look bigger by positioning the long side of a bed against a wall.
Show it off! Have a sleepover with some of your friends or just invite them over! It will be really fun when they gasp and compliment your work. Just don’t forget to clean up after!

Tips

Get basic furniture
Don’t spend too much money on the extras. You could easily get tired of them.
Make sure it’s YOU. Don’t model your room after what your friends might like. Your the one who lives here!
Always ask your parents before painting. They could help you! Even if they say no, you can decorate the walls with posters and they’ll be happy too.

Warnings

Do not breath in the paint fumes! Wear a mask while painting.

How to Make Over a Teenage Boy’s Bedroom

By Sherrie Le Masurier

When it comes to a teenage boy bedroom makeover it’s important to consider the kind of bedroom decor which appeals to you most. Give some thought to not only paint colors, wall treatments, wall art and bedding but things like furniture and shelving as well.

Any teenage boy bedroom makeover should be a reflection of you and your unique personality.

Consider painting one wall an intense red or orange, or a deep blue or green and then use a toned downed shade of the same or contrasting color to paint the remaining walls. Wood stained or painted furniture in a dark shade can then be incorporated along with white or off white trim to lighten things up.

When it comes to a theme for teenage boy bedroom consider reusable wall murals. Wall murals come in a variety of themes like team sports, surfing and snowboarding. Any wall mural art you select should be able to stand the test of time, that way you won’t find yourself having to redo your room within a year or two.

If you’re into team sports and have a lot of trophies or similarly enjoy collecting things you may want to incorporate a good selection of shelving. Also consider your current and future storage needs. An adjustable wall unit is one of your best investments.

When it comes to bedding for a teenage boy bedroom it’s always wise to pick up colors from elsewhere in your bedroom and/or go with the same type of theme as you have in your mural or in select items of wall art.

As you can see, a teenage boy bedroom makeover involves many different color and design elements. You’re wise to shop around prior to making any purchases (unless of course, you know you can take it back and get a full refund).

Sometimes all you really need is a little inspiration and once you’ve found it, your teenage boy bedroom project will quickly come together. I personally believe there’s great inspiration in favorite colors, bedding sets, and wall murals. Once you find something you like the next step is to take a color or two from it and then try to match up accessory items.
