I always start by looking at wallpaper. If he finds one he likes, ideas for colours, carpets, feature walls and curtains all tend to jump out at once.

Had no idea I wanted a feature wall of printed pheasants (sounds awful but it's sketches in silver and black on cream wall) in my bedroom, until I fell in love. Then the duck egg blue just seemed to fit and I bought curtains and bedding.

Find one statement piece he loves (bedding or walls) and go from there.

Keep it simple! One wall in a colour he likes, the rest white/neutral and he can personalise it himself later.

Or you can have a basic colour theme which he can then personalise, like nature (greens and browns), nautical (white, navy, red), or just black and white. Or maybe a trendy shade of grey?

I wouldn't make it too 'themed' in case he grows to hate it later.

Could he go for a mural wall as well? DS has one of these grafitti ones:
