Decorating a Teen Room
Teens may not want mom or dad stipulating what exactly happens décor-wise in their bedrooms—after all, they’re living in the age of independence. But this site gives great tips for decorating teen rooms. The website suggests going to the paint store to find a hue that fits the teenager. Rooms can go from bright and funky to calm or country. Visually create private space to set areas of the room apart with hanging beads, sheer fabric or grouping a few like items together to create places to escape as the mood strikes without ever having to leave the room. Add multi-purpose furnishings like a bean bag chair with ottoman for a comfortable place to study or a futon for the occasional sleep over guest. Every room needs to have furniture that is functional, and teens usually like it funky. Update older pieces of furniture with bright paints and designs.
