Hi Kithendetective, I have no idea what dses means (sorry lol). I'm not sure of your situation but some young men don't like a lot of decor-y stuff which makes it all even harder. I LOVE wall murals to make a punch! I have never ordered from this site but they do have a lot of categories. I have ordered from a Canadian site on ebay before as there prices were less. The pre-glued murals usually come in sections and are very easy to put up.

Purely some ideas to provoke reactions, get directions, etc.

From Jonathan Adler. You can design your own rug to incorporate these colors plus the brown. I just did, but it won't let me show you the picture. The rug with strips of varying widths seems to work, not too busy.

"DSes"=Dear Sons. LOL.
Thank you, both. Why didn't I think of Jonathan Adler? I've been looking for Suzani-ish prints with the colors in Marcolo's post. DS not thrilled, so far, with Ikat, Suzani, or paisley. I will run both of your responses by the DS. Poof out; already has a brown leather and a black leather cube, and will reuse one of those. Also built bookshelves and stained them to match existing bedroom furniture. The lines of that lamp would definitely appeal to him. Off to see what he thinks about the sites.
More thoughts welcome!

Image of bed disappeared? It's a Bernhardt Melrose. I'll try a different source. Leather is dark brown. Does not look black IRL.

The poof is just an example--just remember to carry your accent around in different finishes and textures.

Do NOT forget to check out the Jonathan Adler design-your-own-rug feature on the website. It's one way to get all of the colors in there.

I just picked the gold because you mention it. Personally my preference would be orange, and he has some good accessories and textiles in that color, too.

What kind of a budget are we talking here? What other furniture does he need in the space? Will the space strictly be a bedroom, or will it also be an office or an exercise space, and how big is the room?

He doesn't need any more furniture in that bedroom, which is the master bedroom in his condo. I don't recall the dimensions, but the room comfortably accommodates the bed, two night tables, two book shelves, a chest of drawers, and a small computer desk. Exercise equipment, t.v., etc., are in other rooms. He'd like $1,000 to cover the rest of the bedroom accessories, but if that can't be done, a master plan and doing it in pieces will have to suffice. He wants to put wood floors in most of the rooms, eventually, but that is way in the future.

The image must keep moving around on the Bernhardt site. Any chance you could post a pic of the room?

I won't be there for a couple of weeks, unfortunately.

How about some RL. I find some of his bedding to be very handsome, masculine and suitable for men.

I saw your question and did a fun search - what a fun project! Along the same lines of caminnc's suggestions, here are a few things I found for you too:

I thought this space was fun, too!
