Basement Bedroom – Teen Boy

I have a 16 year old.  I can’t believe that is true…but it is.  With my 16 year old has come a new desire for independence.  He has a job, he drives, he makes trips to the store by himself, and hangs out with his friends. With his independence, he had a desire to have a bedroom of his own.  He had been sharing with his brothers and it was getting just a little too small for three teenage boys.

 

So, when we did the boys’s bedroom makeover, he asked if we could make a room for him in the basement.
I wanted him to have a space of his own and since we don’t really use our school room other than for storage, we have transformed that into his bedroom.
We started by added a piece of this composite panel on the back wall.

It gave the wall a nice textured, manly look.  After a fancy paint job…my son was eager to hang his Mine Craft poster 🙂
We added the night stand that I made over.  Remember this one?
You can see all the details here.
And one of the TV cabinets that we turned into a dresser.
You can see all these details here.
And finally, we added one of the wardrobes that we made over.
You can see those details here.
So, we put it all together and got this…
It’s small…it’s cozy…but it’s all HIS and he is very happy!
Don’t miss out on any of my upcoming posts…Follow along!

    Very nice. Bet your son loves the new space. Once they start driving…oh I know how it is. Have a lovely day.

    Looks great. I am sure he is ecstatic. I think there comes a time when everyone needs their own space. You did a great job with it… although you may not see him much now that he can hide in HIS room!

    I love how a space doesn't have to be big to be great. You created a nice place for him to take another step toward independence. Great job!

    It looks really nice. Just checking – is there a way for him to get out in case of a fire if the stairway is blocked? You can't tell from the photos. Please make sure there are at least two ways out in case of emergency.

    What a great little space for your independent teen! I love all the pieces that you put in the room and that you turned them all into such great pieces. Love it!
