A floral theme is a pretty way to decorate for a dainty and feminine tween.
For tween girls, young girls who are about to enter adolescence, a variety of changes are taking place in their lives, as they mature and begin the journey toward their teenage years. One change can be decorating their bedroom in a more grown-up way that's still appropriate for a young person. If you are decorating a bedroom for your tween girl, here are some ideas you can try.
Funky Shapes and Colors
Bold, and funky colors, with interesting shapes, are a great idea for a tween who wants to add some asymmetrical style to her room. You can try contrasting colors, like magenta and lime green or purple and orange. Paint walls one color and trim another, then you can add various-sized, and -colored, spots, squares, stars or triangles around the walls for an interesting look.
Flirty Florals
A gorgeous floral motif can be a relaxing and beautiful theme for your tween's room, and also very feminine if you've got a girly girl on your hands. You can paint walls a pastel color, such as a violet or blue, and paint flowers on walls, or do floral wallpaper. Throw in a floral bedspread and put out a few vases of flowers.
Rocker Tween
If you've got a young tween rocker on your hand, decorate with a girly rock vibe. A color scheme such as black and hot pink or black and another bold color works for this theme. You can paint walls hot pink, for example, then do black trim. Select one wall that you could paint a large guitar on, going from the ceiling to the floor. You can decorate trim with little musical notes, too, and for wall hangings use old records and vinyls.
Pretty In Pink
For another ultra-girly tween room, try a pink color scheme. You can do walls in a lighter pink, have a darker pink bedspread and pillows. Another good idea is a delicate pink canopy bed. Since your tween may start experimenting with makeup at this age, should you allow it, find a vanity set and paint it pink. This will give your tween a dainty little area to get ready for school in the morning.
Groovy Girl
For the earth-conscious tween, try a funky, hippie-style room. You can do green walls, and maybe even paint a few daisies and peace signs on them. You can do earthy-looking bamboo shades that will allow for some natural light. Another groovy idea is to let your tween pick out a tapestry wall hanging that she can dedicate one wall to, as many tapestries tend to be rather large.
Artsy Tween
If you've got an art-loving tween, let her express her artistic views when decorating. Decide on a color for walls, then let your tween have one wall to paint artwork on, and paint the other walls with the color you two chose. Set up an art desk in one corner, so that your tween can enjoy making her creations in the comfort of her own room. Always ensure that you have a separate rug under the art desk, though, to catch paint and other stain-making materials.
Movie Star Motif
A movie star theme can be another fun idea if you've got a budding thespian. You can paint the top half of the walls gold and the bottom half black for a dramatic Hollywood look. Make a gold star out of cardboard with your tween's name on it to hang on the door, and use red velvet rugs to resemble the glamorous red carpet. You can even buy a basic rectangular headboard and paint the infamous Hollywood sign onto it. Another fun idea is to have a vanity mirror outlined with light bulbs, to emulate the movie star vanity area.
