Large PVC or ABS pipe can be cut into 12 inch long pieces then stacked in a triangle and hot glued together. It makes great storage for shoes, balls, gloves, etc. If you cut the pipe in 2 inch slices you can glue them end to end and create room dividers. You could nail 4 pieces of 1x2 trim together for a frame to go around the pipe if you prefer. You can hang smaller PVC from the ceiling with dog chain to use as clothes racks. Then assemble a PVC box to stack baseball bats, hockey sticks or whatever you have. Have fun & let him help create his room!

it is according to what you need the space saver to do. Is it to give privacy - or give closet space - or to just give a more pleasant feeling to the room?

Bookcases are good but if not fastened to something they can tip over easier than most people realize. If there will be in "rough housing" going on then please take than into consideration.

I have always like movable dividers because you never know when you will want the space back or just a big room for a few days. Some of the deeper "boxes" that are so popular with teenagers (sold at WalMart, Target, Amazon, etc.). These stack and you can put a lot of stuff in one of these. You can stack them at different heights and have them face in different directions if needed.
Screens are also good if space is limited and these can be foldable, movable, on tracks or just folding sets. There are also curtain dividers as well as rope, chains, etc.
