ideas for teenage boy bedroom?

Anonymous
My son has just started high school and I'd like to help him re-do his room. He's open to the idea so I'd like to show him some examples--does anyone have any links to suggest?

Requirements:
Full-size bed, non-lofted
Needs a desk (has one now that is too small)

Interests:
World/U.S. history
camping/backpacking/hiking

Room is on the smaller side.

Not the most organized kid so any suggestions for keeping gear/school stuff organized would also be very welcome!

I recently redid my son's room and used the following for inspiration and product sources.

Found a nice upholstered beige bed on walmart.com, scones at home depot. He does have built-in bookcases, so I would add a bookcase too, preferably one with cabinet doors on the bottom to contain some of the disorganized mess.

My son loves his room. Good luck!

When my son entered HS, we got a full bed with drawers underneath from IKEA. He has a pretty small room so it was a great way to provide more storage and organization in a tight space.

Houzz has lots of boy room ideas. You can narrow by color, theme, etc.

Same for my son. He picked this bed: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/brimnes-bed-frame-with-storage-headboard-white-luroey-s29129601/

+ a long desk that wasn't very deep but had wide drawers. Similar to this one: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/micke-desk-white-90214308/

For decor, he picked a navy blue for the walls, geometric orange/white bedding and decorated the walls with large maps of the world and U.S.

Next to the desk we put a Container Store elfa wire drawer unit that we already had and a large white board that he used to keep track of school work.

Does he actually use those drawers for clothes -- like getting dressed everyday? Wondering if that would be annoying to pull drawers out that you have to kneel down for. In theory, I think the idea is great.... but is it really practical?

My son has that kind of bed but also has a dresser for every day clothes. The big drawers under the bed have stuff like extra blankets, sports equipment, out-of-season clothing.

Air freshener. And lots of it.

I love our cb2 go desk with a monitor mounted on the wall, on an arm if you need it to turn. Wireless keyboard and mouse. It’s much nicer than sitting at a desk against a wall and you can roll it to be “stowed” as needed.

I think the “decor” elements should be up to him.

Does he have any other interests? Mine has aa small bedroom and we did a fun wall paper mural on one wall, LED Phillips Hue lights, etc.

We did a map themed bedroom. And then my son decided he wanted a galaxy themed bedroom. Just keep it simple and have him pick a color, buy him a loft bed, and go to ikea and have him pick out a storage schema.

If you google boys map bedrooms lots of good examples come up.
