Boys Bedroom Movie Hangout

 If your young man has a love for movies, this is the perfectly themed bedroom for him.  The best thing, it will last him until he goes to college and can easily convert to a den. Start with a great paint color like blue, grey, or brown,  Add vintage or current movie posters ( I love the character of vintage), comfortable seating with lots of pillows, and some very cool lighting and his friends may never leave.
Create your own director's slate artwok with a piece of MDF cut at your local Lowe's or Home Depot and some chalkboard paint.

Directors slate pillow available from Pottery Barn




I found this awesome metal artwork on Amazon.com
Perfect for a movie themed room

Happy Creating!

Let's Start with the Basics

As boys grow up, they want a space they can call their own, feel independent in, and hang out with friends.
Of course, all teens want a "cool" room but it also has to function.  A bed with storage is a great investment to keep things neat and tidy.  A desk is a must have for any child if the space is available (not enough space, I have a cool solution). 
This post is meant as a starting point, from here we will add themed ideas and products for each individual room.
I absolutely love Ikea for kids rooms.  Their products are inexpensive, but really do hold up over time.  Here are a few of my favorite pieces for a teen boys bedroom...
These headboards all from Ikea



Desks are important for studying and storage, check these out from Land of Nod


Now that we have the major bedroom pieces down, we can start creating personalized rooms
