Things to consider when decorating a teenager's bedroom

By Timothy Segal


When parents come to decorate a teenager's bedroom it can be difficult to get right as they are usually extremely difficult to please and what they want in their bedroom will change quite regularly as they get older. The best thing to do with a teenager's bedroom is to make it as neutral and prepared for change as possible so that when the do want something different it isn't difficult or costly to make the changes which they want.

For teenagers colours are extremely important and so it is very tempting to go for a very distinctive colour scheme for their bedroom. The problem with this is that they are difficult to change, offer little light and don't go with most interior items. Going for a much simpler colour scheme such as magnolia has many more benefits and the colour in the room can then be added by things like bedding and curtains.

Teenagers are also reaching the point where they will have a lot of work to do for the next few years and so it is good to try and encourage this by putting a desk in their room. Not only will it encourage them to do work but it also provides them with somewhere to sit rather than using their bed to sit on all of the time.

Teenagers are usually quite untidy people and so the more storage space in their room the better. Shelves, drawers and cupboards are a really good way to encourage teenagers to be tidy and to give them somewhere to put everything. Another thing to consider is a washing basket to avoid clothes being left all over the floor.

The flooring is another important decision. Carpets are likely to get things spilt on them and will probably not fit in if the colour of the room is changed. Laminate flooring is a really good option for a teenager's bedroom as it can be wiped clean, looks very modern and fits in with most different colour schemes as well.
