If you can’t find a headboard and shelving unit that work together like this, you can always build the system from separate shelving units. Build a tufted headboard to fit inside, and you’ll achieve this look without a problem.

This floating desk is situated perfectly in the corner of this room, under an excellent source of natural light. It’s an awesome place for them to buckle down and get some work done. The desk’s design keeps legs off the floor, making it easier for a messy teenager to keep their room clean. 

This desk is also a great opportunity to DIY with your teenager. Built from simple materials, you can work together to build a functional desk that they can be proud of while teaching them some valuable skills

If your future Einstein needs some extra space to scratch out some equations, what better idea than a chalkboard wall? Walls like this can be created very easily with chalkboard paint, so just choose an accent wall and get rolling. This will give your mathematician the area he needs to get to the square root of it all.

The navigator in us all should appreciate this teenage boy bedroom idea. The sailboat prints on the wall are an awesome accent, flanking either side of the headboard. The sailor-strip pillow on the chair continues the nautical theme. Consider adding a ship’s wheel, compass, or nautical star to bolster the seafaring aesthetic.

If music plays a huge role in your teenager’s life, consider a theme like this for his bedroom. Wall hangings of their favorite band or the sheet music to their favorite song are both cool ways to decorate the walls. We particularly like the drum outline over the desk, giving them some inspiration to sit down and get creative.

This awesome boy bedroom idea is unique and functional. The suspended bed is a mix between a swing and a four-post bed, while the hinge brackets on the corners look great on solid pine 2x12s.
