Teens want their rooms to look a certain way, and it may seem like you can't please them, no matter how clever and elegant the decor is. However, teens are inclined to be more creative and bold as they find their way in the world. Knowing this, you can decorate your teen's bedroom in a way she will love.
Instructions
Decorate Teenage Bedrooms
1. Select paint based on the teen's favorite color. Teens want their rooms to reflect who they are. Speak with your teen to determine which colors and moods reflect her personality best.
2. Create a theme according to an activity or lifestyle. Your teen may want a room that demonstrates her passion for rock, or one that shows a laid-back, bohemian charm. Themes unify the elements in a room and make its decorations more pleasing. Let your teen decide what kind of decor she wants. Teens love being in a room they've helped create.
3. Add furniture that organizes her space. Teenagers have a lot of things--from clothes to school books to extracurricular materials. They need to be able to stow their belongings neatly and conveniently. For example, add a hanging organizer in the closet to help organize your teen's shoes, or a multipurpose chest at the end of the bed to store other accessories.
4. Create dedicated spaces in the room for your teen's activities. Add a wooden table and chair in one corner of the room and designate it as her space to do homework. Another corner may have a basket that contains her sports equipment, or an entertainment corner where she can store the TV and video game consoles.
5. Accessorize. Teens want a room that looks hip, trendy and cool. Add a headboard that your teen painted, or add bedding with bold prints she selected. Hang pictures and collages, using frames decorated according to the room's motif. Add a drapery to the bed to make it look like a princess's room, or place a funky lamp on the desk to add character and style.
