bedroom decor Archives - Posh in Progress

Pottery Barn Teen sponsored this Basketball Bedroom Decor makeover as part of a social media campaign. All opinions are my own. As kids grow, so do their interests, personalities, and needs. What once was a room filled with furniture that had been around since babyhood—some pieces even dating back to infancy—was no longer working for my son. His space lacked the modern, cohesive, and elevated look that a tween boy needs to feel like his room truly reflects who he is becoming. It was time for a full bedroom makeover, and Pottery Barn Teen had everything we needed to make his space stylish, functional, and perfect for years to come. If you're looking for teen boy bedroom ideas, I think this basketball bedroom decor room is such a great one for the basketball lover in your life. Before: A Room That Needed a Refresh For years, my son’s room had been a mix of furniture that didn’t quite go together. His dresser and nightstand were remnants of his nursery, and while sentimental, they just didn’t fit his growing personality. He had a shelving system to hold books, but it was low-quality and he really wanted to desk so he could do his homework in his room. We moved his bookshelf into his closet so he could still store his books, but added a new desk to that space, as he requested. His room lacked cohesion and didn’t feel like a space where he could truly relax, focus, and grow into his teenage years. The Vision: A Room That Grows With Him The goal was simple: to create a room that felt modern, stylish, and put together while incorporating his love for basketball. It needed to be functional for school, comfortable for lounging, and have a cool factor that made it feel uniquely his. We turned to Pottery Barn Teen for high-quality, timeless furniture that would last him well into his teenage years. Basketball Bedroom Decor A Statement Bed with a Basketball-Inspired Headboard The focal point of the room is now a bedroom basketball hoop. We found this incredible light-up basketball headboard from Pottery Barn Teen. This standout piece ties in his love for basketball while adding a cool, modern vibe. The soft glow adds the perfect ambiance in the evenings, and it instantly became his favorite feature in the room. Solid Wood Furniture Built to Last We replaced his old mismatched furniture with high-quality, solid wood pieces from Pottery Barn Teen. The dresser, nightstand, and desk all share a timeless design that not only looks great but is built to withstand the test of time. The warm wood tones bring a sophisticated yet relaxed feel to the space. A Cozy, Stylish Bedding Upgrade To tie everything together, we chose a reversi grey and beige bedspread that complements the new furniture beautifully. The neutral tones give the room a sleek and elevated look while allowing flexibility to switch up accent colors as his style evolves. Seating That’s Both Cool and Comfortable We added a faux leather lounge chair, perfect for reading, gaming, or just hanging out. It adds a cozy element to the room and offers a stylish seating option beyond his bed. To complete his desk setup, we brought in a basketball-inspired desk chair, which is not only comfortable but also adds a fun and personal touch to the workspace. Basketball Bedroom Decor Accessories We added some additional accessories, such as this pencil holder for his desk, and these sports pillows for his bed. For the walls, we added this ball holder, some basketball prints, and this basketball street sign. He also hung a basketball jersey over his bed in this case. The Final Look: Basketball Bedroom Decor The transformation is complete, and the result is a space that my son absolutely loves. The furniture and accessories from Pottery Barn Teen have taken his room from a mix of outdated pieces to a modern, stylish retreat that he can enjoy for years to come. The cohesive look makes the room feel put together, while the basketball accents make it uniquely his. Now, he has a space where he can sleep, study, and relax in comfort and style.
