Bold black and white can be the perfect starting point for a teen boy bedroom. Ive put it to use here to dramatic effect.
Yes, do the walls in black, just dont do all of them! One or two or even just a section of one is great for giving you that bold look and darkening the room a bit. Note that painting black is going to take a wee bit of work to get it truly deep black. Start with a dark gray primer coat and you wont need quite so much black paint to get the job done.
I love the bookcase here. Its actually not a bookcase, its a bunch of cubes and you can stack them up however you like. I love the idea of creating a stairstep shelving unit with them up against the black wall. The posters Ive picked had more to do with the color scheme than the actual artists. (Although, were fans of The Beatles and Rage Against the Machine in our house, so its not a totally unlikely combination!)
The furniture is white to contrast with the black bedding and black walls, but mix in some other materials for interest. Ive gone with birch wood and silver in the desk and silver with some black in the wire chair.
