And I like the red poof (is that what you call them? Ottoman thingys?) too. Though he better not spill his sweet fizzy drinks on it as I can just see you tearing your hair out cleaning it! I do think though that you may need to be a bit careful with the furniture you choose - to keep it in style and not have too many colours (go black OR brown, just not a bit of both). I also like the bedlinen in the picture.. very nice! Maybe for the 16 year old's room make the accent colour navy instead of red? 2fk Re: Teenage boy's room 5Sep 06, 2009 4:35 pm TwoFatKitties Hi kek, I like the red with those two colours.

Pouffe, ottoman, call it what you like. He loves anything with texture, so I thought it was cute. The Black-brown is only one colour, just one of IKEA's standard range. Looks like this: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Navy is a good thought, thanks for the suggestion. Of course, he'd want black. Black walls, black carpet, black bedlinen.... Re: Teenage boy's room 6Sep 07, 2009 11:44 am Ahh ok I see what you mean about the furniture now. I like it, it's still masculine without being "teenage boy black" (Dulux should add that name to their colour palette). What is it with boys and black anyway? The colours and the textures look very nice, would like to see the finished product when you're done too 2fk Re: Teenage boy's room 7Sep 07, 2009 12:10 pm I have no idea about an accent colour but the furniture will be great!

Re: Teenage boy's room 9Sep 07, 2009 7:35 pm Kek….have a look at the colour wheel. How can you miss it..its huge!

No rush though, I haven't quite decided on the bed size: I'm thinking maybe king single. Don't really want to go double, but there's bound to be some serious growing over the next few years!

Oh well, I'll keep looking. kek are you sure you want single covers? you might be better off getting double or queen quilts and covers. Are your boys in standard single beds or king sized singles. I think a double quilt size is the one suggested for king singles if you aren't buying a dedicated king single quilt and cover.

I think a double quilt size is the one suggested for king singles if you aren't buying a dedicated king single quilt and cover. I went looking for manchester yesterday (that was a frustrating experience.... ) and got the same advice from the lady at Adairs. The elder one will be getting a double bed, and the younger a king single, so as it turns out, we need double quilts for both. I did find a factory nearby that sells beds direct, and delivers free to the local area, so that was a win. I'll be back to order the beds in a few weeks, meanwhile I'm going to pick up the linen I want. If I can find anything I like, that is. Target looked like Viking raiders had been through there yesterday. Re: Teenage boy's room 18Sep 10, 2009 3:37 am to be perfectly honest for the double bed I'd be tempted to buy a queen quilt if you can get it at the same price as a double. More coverage on a bed that way. And a double for the king single. Double quilts aren't as long. but they are what is recommended for KSS's. The KSS bed is longer in length than a double bed. My mum bought some KSS cotton blankets for our boys beds. But for quilts atm they have their old sleeping bags and standard single bed quilts. Re: Teenage boy's room 19Sep 10, 2009 9:49 am I'm with kexkez, my DD got a new double bed for her birthday last weekend. She has a double doona on it and there is not much overhang. My sister said I should have gone for a queen. But she is still young so the double fits over her fine. In a few years time when her linen is due for an upgrade I'll get her a queen. I'm thinking with your older boy being older/bigger then a Queen would fit over him better. Doubles for KS definitely. Come Inside is great for getting things cheaper but it's one of those sites that you have to check regularly. I got mine (Linen House) and DD's (Freckles and Roomur) linen from there last year cheap. Kexkez, hope you are enjoying your new linen Great find on the bed factory too Kek There's also a nice Manchester shop up the Coles end at Westfields, Plenty Valley. Did you go there?

I haunt that place.....my "little" 13YO boy loves it too - he has to feel everything. Velour, faux fur, feathers, anything with a soft texture. I'll have the linen sorted very soon.
