Hi Bradford Rice, I understand that it can be difficult to decorate for someone this age. The best place for you to start is to specifically ask him some leading inquisitive questions like, "What do you like to do most?" "Whats your favourite part of your room and your least favourite?" If you can find an item which is dear to him (like his guitar, or playstation remote; yes I did say that! or favourite sweatshirt) then this gives you a springboard to build from. There are some amazing wallpapers out there (check out Mr Perswall graffiti range, or distressed timber board wallpaper) which without too much investment can transform a room quickly. Try to simplify your colour palette and limit it to just a couple of colours, dirty pinks are in vogue along with greys, and animal skins, remember that bedding colours bring a whole new feel to a room and if it lacks natural light keep the colours masculine but subdued with a taupe linen bedspread. Incorporate some chunky texture if you can by way of a thick weaved carpet rug or woven rustic lamp shade, and some shelving storage to encourage him to pick his stuff up off the floor! Good luck with that one! Post a pic if you want further advice.
