Together, the colors red, black and white create energy and dynamism perfect for use in decorating a boy's bedroom.

1
Paint the walls in your boy's room with white interior paint. White paint creates a blank canvas for you to incorporate any design, pattern or graphics you wish in the room -- or to change the color theme later.

2
Dress your boy's bed with red sheets. Red sheets create a bright background for the comforter, and give a punch of color.

Make your boy's bed with a red, black and white comforter. Red, black and white comforters come in a larger variety of patterns and styles, including abstract designs and stop signs.

Place red, black and white rugs on your boy's bedroom floor. Select rugs in a solid color, instead of rugs with a pattern, as those may become too much for the room with the bedding and window treatments. Solid colored rugs work best for a multicolored room.

Incorporate a variety of black furniture into the room, such as a bed frame, headboard, desk and dresser. Purchasing gently used black furniture at a thrift store or consignment shop saves you money and prevents you from having to spend a small fortune on brand new furniture. As an alternative, simply paint existing furniture black.

Place a red lamp and a black lamp in your boy's bedroom on his dresser and desk. This brings all the colors in the room together, balancing the room.

Hang framed artwork of the design, graphic or pattern of your choice on the walls. This will add a touch of color to the white walls.

Hang black curtains. Black curtains keep the sunshine out of the room, allowing him to sleep in during the weekends; they also frame the window and create a dark background for the room, complementing the tricolor scheme.
