The bedroom of a Middle I feel should be as close to that of a Tween or younger teen as possible not necessarily tradition in it's furnishings but true to original intent of being his place of rest and sleep, away from the buzz of daytime.
It should be very much an expression of his boyish innocence with cute simple bedding with matching curtains and lightshades with just what he needs to get his sleep in and nothing more being free from techo attractions calling him as he lies in bed.
There will be shelving for his plushies, teddies and figures that are not in his bed or positioned on his chair as well as his books with a small rack for current comics that he reads by himself with a small angle light.
One thing there will not be is a place for his mobilephone or netbook to be resting because there would be a house rule they are to left well away in the front room.
You may restrict other technology such as audio or tv stuff preferring him to share with others and view with you to help keep a close shared bond alive rather than have retreat to a inner world avoiding conversation.
There will be a wardrobe with enough space to hang his clothes including her uniform properly on hangers with space for shoes and slippers and draws for his underwear in addition to the cute pj's you'll put her in like the Middle with little side he is.
The overall feel will be light and airy with lots of space to play in and walk along with ease across the whole room.
You will have rules about keep it tidy being prepared to work with him on keeping them.
