Utilize color and modern finishes to create a bedroom your teen will love.
Construct a bedroom for your teen that is both functional and aesthetically appealing to younger generations. Impress the most discerning teenager with easily implemented ideas that encompass elements of modern design. Merge both cost-saving techniques that maintain the panache style your teen desires with higher-priced furniture purchases that are well worth the investment. Invite your teenager to participate in the process of transforming an ordinary bedroom into a contemporary space to enjoy during an afternoon at home or while relaxing before bed.
Instructions
1. Paint is a budget-friendly option that has the ability to transform your teenager's bedroom.
Paint a colorful accent wall. Modern bedrooms are often enhanced with the brightness of crisp white walls in combination with a single to display pops of color. The can be stripes, swirls or other geometric shapes that use two to three of your teen's favorite colors or an exclusive vibrant color that complements the rest of the decor.
2. Light the room with modern pieces that function on the practical level, while dispensing decorative pops of color throughout the bedroom. Purchase vibrant round paper lanterns and group three in a one corner of the room. Hang each at a slightly different height. If your teenager lavishes in a large room with high ceilings, envisage transforming several of the lanterns into an eclectic canopy above her bed. Glass and metal based lamps with colorful shades in modern shapes also accentuate the space.
3. Combine contemporary furniture pieces fashioned from a mix of modern materials. Seamless white, curved plastic chairs provide comfortable seating with modern flair. Use these chairs at both a glass top metal desk and in a reading corner -- complete with a large plastic crate end table. A wood platform bed painted white and accented with a kaleidoscopic array of pillows anchors your furniture choices.
4. Affix window treatments that allow plenty of natural light without sacrificing privacy. Cellular blinds permit light to permeate through the fabric. As window toppers, entertain the idea of using pieces your teen already owns. Dangle ballet slippers from early childhood for her. Alternate bow ties and neck ties worn at formal dances and awards ceremonies for him. Other ideas to implement as window toppers include a short curtain made of soda can tabs, award ribbons or treasured mementos. Hang these various pieces above the window from craft wire strung across the top of the window and screwed into the edges of the window frame.
