Decorating a bedroom for a young man can be easy if you keep it simple by just changing the color scheme. I found myself reaching for darker colors along with traditional patterns and swapping out a younger look for a mature and masculine design.
I wanted a room that grew with him, something more mature and for young male adults, but still comfortable and inviting for when he came home and one with small touches of his childhood. My son’s old room was a bright and energetic sports themed bedroom, perfect for a tween or teen boy.
My friend Aaron Christensen, an amazing designer did most of the work and my son loved it! We gave the room a more masculine look by using neutral colors of grey with wood-tone accents.
The room got a fresh coat of paint (Sherwin Williams Mindful Grey), as well as a dark charcoal color for the hexagon shelving. These were built by Aaron, but I’ve found a few on Etsy at a reasonable price if you’re not into building your own.
I picked out a few items from the Lawrence Ticking Stripe Collection and was pleased with the quality.
It’s a great way to add pattern and style when decorating a bedroom for young men.

When I saw this wall mural, I knew the neutral colors and abstract design would be exactly what this small room needed. I contacted Minted immediately to also see if they’d like to collaborate and they too were more than happy to contribute to this Bedroom Makeover.
It added an easy solution for much-needed style to an otherwise vacant boring wall. I used a leftover piece from the mural and stuck it on the bottom portion of the bulletin board.
This was an easy solution to make a functional drab piece serve as DIY wall art as well! I took down the hanging soccer balls from before and added a word board, a tin sign and one of his photos, which didn’t print well, but it ended up being the right tones for the room.
I also added a few artificial plants, because I know they wouldn’t get watered, but they still look great and add some color.
