Please no more of those over-literal themed youth rooms in the vein of surf shacks or western lodges...a few high-impact design additions are cheaper, last longer, and will serve as a background to the group's own decisions about the space.
Vintage automobile headlamps attached in series to conduit.
Foosball coat hangers--available from Loony Design, but DIY would be more fun...the foosball table was a center of my own youth room growing up.
The simple addition of painted black corner lines to solid features makes everything look like a cartoon! This is from the Luise Hotel in Berlin.
Make a stack of old school TVs and speakers, as here at the Facebook headquarters, at the entrance to your space.
Have a google for the designs of Odili Donald Odita, whose work fuses modernist and African influences, for color inspiration. Plan carefully, number, and tape the sections in advance for a massive paint-by-numbers day!
Definitely get the youth involved in these projects...they love group DIY.
