I like to get my inspiration off of Pottery Barn sometimes (pottery barn teen has bedroom/office spaces). They really know how to put furniture together to make a space look attractive. It's expensive, but it's easier to find look-a-likes of their products in other places if your thinking about purchasing. If he loves photography, make a collage on the wall of places or people that are sentimental to him. If you're totally remodeling his bedroom, stick with whites and soft blues to remind him of the beach. And in my opinion, floor lighting is better than ceiling lighting.

Thats pretty much all I can offer, since I don't know what the room looks like. Best of luck, and I hope I helped!

Designing the interiors of a small room are all about creating greater visual room and incorporating ample storage units. A clean and uncluttered look is an absolute must. From lighting to paint and mirrors to accessories, every little detail makes a big difference.

Hi - here are some pictures to give you some inspiration on design and ideas. What you need to do is perhaps to do a 'plan' of his room and to get a layout that suits him. You say he has plenty of space - so this should not be a problem, but still you will need what can fit where to get a conducive space to his bedroom part and the office part. Some of these sites will perhaps help you to achieve this in both design and colours :)

Hi! So my boyfriend just moved into a new apartment and we are working on redoing his bedroom. We have plenty of space to work with, more than we know what to do with actually, we're thinking of making it a combined office-type space too. We are looking for some ideas and inspiration. We live in California near LA, he's 23, if that helps a bit. He loves photography and internet things, and nature and the beach too. We were thinking of reusing his old comforter, which is a chambray denim type thing, but are open to other options. Thanks for the help :)
