Teen Room: 50 Best Design Ideas
Making comfortable housing involves arranging separate rooms for each family member, unless of course this allows the layout and size of the apartment. But even if the space is sorely lacking, it should be thought that each of the households has their own personal space, albeit very small, where everyone can fulfill their potential and contribute to the interior design, naturally corresponding to personal tastes. This article will discuss how to design a room for a teenager, because sometimes it is difficult to find a compromise in the practical views of parents and categorical moods of a child at such a difficult age. In addition, there are no universal tips and tricks for creating a comfortable interior for teenagers.
Before proceeding with the repair, first of all, together with your child, you should discuss what kind of room will be, providing an independent choice of the direction of the interior style and specific pieces of furniture. Naturally, setting a framework in financial matters. And you can be sure that the child will be very pleased with the opportunity to realize their dreams.
What should be in a teenager's room
Whatever the area of the room in it, it is necessary to equip a comfortable sleeping place, a working area for homework and a place to store educational supplies and personal belongings.
If possible, the desk should be placed near the window so that it is well lit or just take care of competent and high-quality artificial lighting.
As a sleeping place, you can use a large bed or orthopedic sofa, where you can receive guests, which can not be said about the bed. Another quite popular option for a small room is a pull-out bed, which folds into a closet for a day, freeing up space for free movement around the room. Only in this case, you need to make sure that the room has enough seating. Soft helpers in this situation will be soft ottomans, which, if necessary, can easily be stacked on top of each other or in a cabinet.
To save space in the room, you can hang wall shelves on which to place books, photo frames, and other necessary things.
If you put a stationary bed in the room, then it is best to give preference to models with built-in drawers. They can be both retractable and top-opening.
Another important piece of furniture that must be in the room of a teenager is a wardrobe. It is best to choose models with bright or mirrored facades. Children at this age should like the doors with photo printing, which will depict either their favorite idols or the sights of a city.
Features of the design of a teenage room
Child psychologists argue that the teenager’s room should be in neutral tones to help pacify and calm the child’s nervous system, which is subject to serious stress due to age-related changes. However, even in this case, several contrasting and bright elements can be added to the interior, which will become the main accents of the interior.
Passion of the child as the basis of the interior
Of course, in the room of an adult child, wallpapers with bears, bunnies, elephants and kittens are no longer appropriate, but dreamy and romantic girls will quite like the idea of decorating one of the walls with wallpaper with butterflies, the delicate colors of which can be used in other elements of the interior. Just like the original colorful wallpaper with floral ornaments, they will look great at the head of the bed, but in this case the rest of the walls should be in restrained colors.
For more eccentric natures who want to decorate their room so that it conveys all the emotions and hobbies, paintings on the walls will be an excellent option. Such a solution will allow you to easily change the interior as soon as new interests and idols appear and at the same time not start grandiose alterations in the room. At the same time, the walls of the room may well be both bright juicy shades, and calm and soothing colors.
If a child is fond of music, then his room can be decorated in the appropriate style by hanging paintings on the walls with images of musical instruments, notes or favorite bands.
An original idea will be a painted wall, reflecting the interests of the owner of the room. Such an interior will not only be comfortable for a teenager, but also fully emphasize the fact that you are proud of your child and fully support the child in his hobbies. So, for example, for a dreamy teenager who is going to conquer the world, an excellent option would be a map on the whole wall, where he can study cities and countries. But a child who is fond of sports will undoubtedly appreciate a skateboarder on the entire wall or a huge football field in his room.
If a teenager is fond of painting and already has his own creations, then the best of them, in his opinion, must be hung on the walls in his room. You should also make sure that the room has been equipped with a place for creating new masterpieces.
Often even at such a young age, girls show interest in needlework and try to track all fashion trends. And with such a passion, why not create the appropriate atmosphere in the room of the young lady? Just imagine a huge picture on the wall in the bedroom of a teenage girl, which shows the outline of a model in neon light sliding on the catwalk. Such an environment will only contribute to the development of children's imagination. Also, the girl will appreciate such a decorative element in her room as a mannequin, which can be covered with fabric in harmony with the textiles used in the interior.
Unusual interior details
For registration of an original interior unusual decisions are simply necessary. One vivid example of this approach is a hanging chair or swing in a teenage room. You can be sure that the teenager does not even expect such an idea from you and will be very surprised at such a proposal, however, surprise will quickly give way to enthusiasm. After all, agree to sit reading your favorite book in such an unusual chair or to swing on a swing, immersed in your dreams - a very, very interesting lesson. It is worth noting that such a chair does not make the room any heavier, unlike its floor counterparts. And so that it does not seem lonely, you can use other transparent pieces of furniture in the interior, for example, a transparent chair or a glass table.
Another unusual detail may be an interesting design of the window opening. The Roman curtain, with an original cornice hanging to the ceiling, fits perfectly into the marine style teenage room and will become the prototype of the sail on a large ship. Or even make a place to rest on the windowsill, having designed a soft seat with a large number of decorative pillows, on which you can read and sit with a friend, and just think, looking at passers-by.
Also, a teenager should like the imitation of a brick wall in a room on which he can draw graffiti with his own hands. It is worth noting that such an idea fits perfectly both in the room for the girl and for the boy. The main thing is to choose the right color scheme for the textiles in the room, and remember that the style of graffiti will be decisive.
Fashionistas will love the idea of a glamorous room. And here it is very important to subtly feel the style that the young lady wants to recreate in her room. Original in this case will be a combination of white and black with bright accents of rich natural shades. For example, it can be a black wall at the head of the bed in a completely bright room with bright yellow details in the form of a headboard, pillows and a night lamp. On this wall you can hang pictures with light inscriptions on a black background in white carved frames.
It can also be a headboard with black and white newspaper inscriptions that simply perfectly complement the bright blue elements in the form of a bedside ottoman with a decorative pillow and an unobtrusive geometric pattern on the walls.
Indifferent teenagers will leave neon furniture lighting. Such an original solution will create a very comfortable and at the same time fashionable atmosphere in the room, which helps to relax the child. In the same style you can draw and inscriptions on the wall. Such an unusual solution will surely appeal to both girls and boys and will make the interior interesting and original.
Instead of a conclusion
The main rule that you need to use when decorating a teenage room is that you should be able to listen to your child. It is his imagination and dreams that should become fundamental in creating the interior. And even if you do not completely agree with one or another idea, think carefully before making a categorical refusal, which compromise can be found. And the point here is not at all that you can injure the subtle nature of a teenager. The essence of the interior design of a children's room is that the teenager in it should be comfortable and convenient. The situation of the room should not be imposed by someone, because it will only oppress.
And if you decide to make repairs yourself, not taking into account the interests of your child, then imagine the situation that you are forced to live in a house without windows and doors. But in the opinion of many psychologists, it is precisely such a feeling that seizes a person to whom someone else's opinion and vision is imposed.
