Would you think "The typical teenage boy's room is a disaster area." is an idiom or a metaphor?

This phrase is a metaphor, because it directly compares "the typical teenage boy's room" to "a disaster area."  An idiom is a saying that has an understood meaning that is different from the literal meaning.

Metaphor in my opinion.
