3 Top Teenage Bedroom Ideas
If you can figure out a teenager’s mind, you’ll get rich very quickly. So determining the top teenage bedroom ideas is no easy feat. More than any other bedroom design challenge, how you furnish a teen’s room depends on many variables. And that doesn’t include teenage mindsets!
Of course, there’s a big difference between teenage girl bedrooms and teenage boy bedrooms. Not to mention bedrooms for younger teens and youth bedrooms for older teens.
To start thinking about teen room ideas, it helps to start with what you can say for all of them. First, it’s a place to sleep. Also, for both teen girls and boys, it’s a place to escape to and call their own.
Consider These Top Teen Bedroom Ideas
Not specific to boy’s rooms or girl’s rooms, the following ideas can meet the criteria for both and all ages of teens too.
- Get Their Involvement – While most teens’ bedroom décor grows “organically” they’ll be more likely to buy into your ideas if you let them exercise some of their own interior design skills.
You can designate a wall that they can paint a bold colour or make a gallery wall for art, posters or whatever they fancy. - Choose Neutral or White Bedroom Furniture – If there’s one area that teens are less likely to have a strong, non-conformist leaning, it’s in the bedroom furniture. It’s not like there are “street style” poster beds out there. Still, many teens prefer less imposing bedroom furniture that doesn’t compete with the things they have more control over.
- Options for Hanging Out – Teens spend more time in their rooms than the rest of us because they like to getaway. For parents too, it’s reassuring to know that at least they are at home.
So give them different options for hanging out in their rooms. Consider a bench at the foot of the bed for added seating. A storage box below a window works well for a bright place to read or just watch the world go by.
