Teenage Boys' Bedrooms Color Ideas

Traditional Blues

• The color blue is, traditionally, a color chosen for boys. If your teen wants to keep in line with the color blue, there are a wide variety of blue shades to choose from ranging from dark to light. For a twist, paint two walls a dark shade of blue and the two remaining walls a light shade for contrast. Furniture and accessories in shades of blue, white and cream will work well for the space.

Bright Bold Neons

• Bright oranges and neon greens are the ideal hues for a teenage boy who enjoys the energy of vibrant colors. You can paint all the walls in the same neon shade or paint each wall a different color. For the furniture and accessories, select funky pieces that will go hand in hand with the brightly painted walls.

Rich Earth Tones

• If your teenage son is a bit more mature, he might prefer rich earth tones, which are common shades that an adult man might choose for his clothing or home décor. Rich browns, burgundy and various shades of gold are the types of colors that might work well as paint colors for the room. Paint the walls in the same shade, and use gold paint for stencil work or accents. For the furniture and accessories, select antique pieces that will coordinate well with the richly colored walls.

Glow-in-the-Dark

• If your teenage son is a science-fiction buff, a room that glows in the dark might be a good choice for him. A wide variety of glow-in-the-dark paints are available in paint stores. You can choose to paint all of the walls a dark shade, such as black, and then paint designs or pictures on top of it with the glow-in-the-dark paints. Alternatively, you can paint two or more walls with the glow-in-the-dark paint exclusively. For the furniture and accessories, select simple pieces that will not overwhelm the already bright walls.
