Teenager Bedroom Decorating Ideas

Some teenager bedroom decorating ideas, for when the time that will come to update your teen’s childhood princess or cowboys’ theme bedroom because they are growing up.

As much as you’d like things to stay the same, your teenager is growing up, and they need a bedroom furniture design to reflect their maturing personal style. Rather than dismiss their design taste, embrace it!

After all, they’re going to be spending a lot of time in their room sleeping, studying, and hanging out with friends. Their space should be comfortable, relaxing, and an expression of their personality.

Bedroom Themes: Be aware of what hobbies or interests your teen is involved in, and then try to incorporate one of them into their bedroom as a theme. In the same manner that a decorating style helps to define a look for the rest of the home, a theme helps to give decorating a focus.

If they’re into snow-boarding, give them plenty of wall space to hang their boards, and make sure they have an organized closet for all that snow gear.

Most cities have their own particular icons, like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Statue of Liberty in New York, and some teenager bedroom decorating ideas for those that have always wanted to visit a different place in the world would be to put up posters or paint different city landmarks on the walls.

Bedroom Colors: Base your teenager’s wall paint around their favorite color, and then punch it up with an accent color.

For example, if your son loves green, compliment it with a deep purple trim. Is your daughter crazy about hot pink? A great color combination is black and hot pink, or even chocolate brown. It really makes the color stand out.

Your teen probably still uses the floor for sitting, talking on the phone or listening to music.

Using practical, colorful and funky rugs can liven up their room while creating warmth and texture. They can be room size, or try a few smaller ones that compliment each other.

For a natural look, consider eco-friendly jute, sisal or bamboo area rugs.

Bedroom Accessories: Ask your teen how they feel about accessorizing. Some will be all for it, and some will think it is a waste of space.

For those who love it, adding big fluffy pillows or bean bag chairs (they come in different sizes and colors) to the room will create a relaxing hangout spot for when friends come over or for reading and listening to music. In a larger room this “music corner” could hold a futon or small love seat.

Minimalist teens may only want a few photos or posters on the wall. Black and white photos can make a very dramatic statement and make a home in a teen's bedroom especially if they are on a subject matter close to their interests.

Other teenager bedroom decorating ideas would be to consider putting up cork boards. This allows them freedom of expression by creating collages with photos of their friends, ticket stubs and any other special mementos.

They make a stick on "hardware" so you don't need to make a mess of the walls with unwanted nail holes. You can buy them in the organization section of a Home Depot or Lowe’s.

A teenager bedroom decorating ideas for storage includes a lot of clothes, books, and CD’s. So what’s a clever way to add more storage without taking up any floor space?

Platform beds with built-in drawers strategically placed underneath only takes up space the bed is already using. Look for a bed with a bookcase headboard as well, to utilize the maximum amount of space!

Creating an ample work space will make it easier to study. Ideally it should be big enough for a computer, keyboard, textbooks, and desk accessories with good lighting and a desk chair.
