From moody hues to inspirational shades, help your teen create their perfect space with Benjamin Moore.

A teen’s bedroom is more than a place to sleep–it’s the first living space a young person controls. Whether they’re playing video games or loud tunes with friends, the teenage bedroom functions as a multipurpose space.

Encourage color confidence and watch their creativity spark with our teen bedroom paint colors. Then, bring out their DIY side and consider learning how to paint a wall together!

A Central Hub: The Teenager’s Bedroom

Ready to design your teen’s space? Use accent walls to carve out different sections of the room, from homework to hanging out. Consider a wall behind their desk in vibrant Rhythm and Blues 758 for study inspiration, or a wall in bold green Dragonfly AF-510 as the backdrop for a favorite armchair or bookcase.

Here, a loft bed with a built-in bookcase makes this bedroom ideal for the studious teenager. A fresh accent wall in Sea Star 2123-30 creates a calming contrast against trim and ceiling in Cloud Cover OC-25, separating the space from the rest of the room. We also love Victorian Trim 2068-50, Aspen Skies 1656, and Coral Buff 024 to infuse color into teen spaces with white-painted walls.
