Red & Black Ideas for a Boy's Bedroom
Create a modern and masculine look for a boy's bedroom with a red and black color scheme. The darkness of the black serves as an ideal backdrop for the punch of color provided by the red, turning a boy's bedroom into a hip designer showcase that he and his friends will enjoy hanging out in. Does this Spark an idea?

Walls
-
Go bold with the walls for a boy's bedroom. Paint all of the walls either red or black and use the opposite color on the trim, such as window sills and moldings. Another idea is to create a focal wall, perhaps the wall the bed will be positioned on, with red or black paint and paint the remaining walls in the opposite color. Go all out and paint the ceiling, as well, in either the focal wall color or the color opposite the hue that you use on the walls — a red ceiling and black walls or a black ceiling and red walls.
Furniture
-
Keep the color scheme going and furnish the space with red or black pieces or a combination of the two colors. Lacquered pieces with straight lines are well suited for this design. Choose a red lacquered platform bed and a black dresser that features smooth drawer fronts. Alternatively, select white lacquered pieces to create a bold statement against the red and black walls and to break up the color scheme. Create a seating area where he and his friends can hang out with a combination of red and black beanbag chairs.

Linens
-
Linens are an important aspect of the bedroom and they, too, can feature red and black or a contrasting color to break up the monotony of this palette. Make the bed with black sheets and a red comforter or a comforter that features red and black designs. Cover the windows with red and black curtains or choose white or silver curtains to contrast against the walls. Decorate the floor with a throw rug that features a design incorporating the focal colors.
Accessorize
-
Complete the transformation of the room with accessories. Hang red and black geometric prints in silver frames on the walls or frame red and black sheets of decorative paper and hang them on a wall in an artistic arrangement. Display posters of the boy's favorite musicians or sports teams in silver frames. Use silver or white modern table and floor lamps to illuminate the space. Feature some of the boy's collectibles on black wall shelves.
