If you’ve ever asked a guy what they want for the bed/dorm room and they replied, “I don’t know, whatever” or “I don’t need much,” this post is for you and the guy in your life. Whether it’s your son, your brother, or your boyfriend, sometimes they just need a little help deciding on guys bedroom ideas.Â
1. Bedding
First things first for a guys bedroom, bedding! The bedding will help set the color scheme for the room if the walls are a neutral shade. Grey bedspreads are great for guys as you can add other colors using decor pieces.Â
2. Blockout Curtains
From all the late nights either studying, gaming, or out with friends, a lot of guys bedrooms need to be equipped for sleeping in. Block out curtains will help keep the sunlight out so they can sleep the day away.
3. Floor Lamp
Lamps are essential for many dorm rooms. They can also help give a room a more sophisticated look if the lamp goes above the more basic floor lamp. Industrial looking lamps add a fun edge to a guys’ bedroom.
4. Desk Lamp
Another simple way to make a guys room look more put together is a nice desk lamp. He’ll need one anyways, so why not get one that adds an extra element to his bedroom.Â
5. Fan
If you’re looking for guys dorm room ideas, he will definitely need a fan! Even if his bedroom will have AC, a fan is definitely nice to have during the hottest parts of the year.
6. Chair
An extra comfy chair is great for if a friend visits or to sit and watch TV or play games. Back in the day, I’m sure people would recommend bean bags for a guys bedroom, but a chair is much more grown up. It’s also an easy way to add extra personality to a room! For that reason, I would recommend choosing a chair that’s in an accent color like blue, green, or red. Bonus points if it folds out into a bed like this chair!
7. Bedside Table
This is an often overlooked piece of furniture, but is very helpful to have. Most dorm rooms don’t include a bedside table, so it’s worth getting one for a guys bedroom especially since it will add extra storage space in a dorm. If there isn’t enough room for a nightstand, then consider this space-saving bedside insert.
8. TV Stand
If your guy can’t go without a TV in his bedroom, then consider adding a TV stand to his bedroom.Â
9. Mini Fridge
A mini fridge is helpful to have for a guys dorm room. They can keep soda and left overs in it, so they have a place to keep things cool rather than cluttered around the place.
10. A Coffee Maker
Think of how much money he can save if he doesn’t feel pressed to always buy coffee. Now, a Keurig may be his style, but a typical coffee maker or even a French Press are more eco-friendly and less expensive. Â
11. Microwave
If you’re shopping for a guys dormroom, a microwave is a must. Check out the options below to see which one might be a good fit for the guy in your life!Â
12. Display Shelves
Adding display shelves to a guys bedroom allow for extra storage space for books and any random items. They’re also great for adding design elements and sentimental objects!
13. Artificial Plants
Artificial plants add a nice “natural” element to a guys bedroom. They’re great to add to display shelves! Real plants may suffice, but artificial plants are a good call if he doesn’t want to have to remember to water anything.
14. Wall Decor
Posters, a framed jersey, or a flag would be great additions to a guys bedroom. Pick ones based on his interests, but I’ve included a few items I think would be welcome in any guys bedroom: a scratch off top 100 movie poster, a framed jersey display case, a Barstool’s Sports flag.
15. Rug
A rug is an easy addition to a guys bedroom to add personality and color! Choose the size of the rug based on the size of the room. For dorm rooms, you may have to go for a small rug next to his bed. It will be a nice addition especially come winter time!
