female or male
Furniture from resale shop - Goodwill / Salvation Army. Bookcases are good as they can display things. Paint in colors to match. Coordinate in colors to match an inexpensive comforter.
Thrift store have a huge variety of stuff from furniture to accessories. Try to paint to match so the furniture doesn't look like an after thought. Try attaching wooden crates to an old lazy susan. Paint and you have storage and 3 sides for attaching things like a full length mirror, dry erase board, cork board, etc. But first come up with a color scheme. A comforter/bed spread can be a start. Pick a wall color that is in the bed spread and work from there.
First, get their input! in colors, hobbies, music etc - one or two themes. You didn't say male or female so generic answers but go for it w/ shelves for display, framed posters and chalkboards (paint over thrift store print w/ 2 coats of flat black paint and condition with chalk, skip expensive chalk paint, paint frame to match theme), trim thrift store/ garage sale mirror with seashells, pictures, whatever relates to them. Trundle bed to pull out for friends or at least bean bags or large pillows for lounging
