At a certain age, your child will want to change rooms. As he grows up, his childhood room doesn’t really fit him anymore. Yes, but what can you do in your teenager’s room to please him? With our 5 tips, you’ll be investing in the future while creating an intimate space that’s sure to be trendy. So, without further ado, let’s dive into this blog and learn some of our best tips t decorate your teen’s room.
1. Use neutral colors
From the age of 13 to 18, your teenager has plenty of time to change his or her tastes and desires. So, be sure not to repaint the walls every two years, as your child gets tired of them. If white is obviously an immutable and judicious choice, you can let yourself be tempted by a very light grey, a light khaki, or all the soft and neutral tones which should not appear as unbearable in 5 years.
Save this advice for the big furniture. Choose a desk with a neutral tone, even if you want to decorate it with more fun accessories that match your child’s age and desires. The same goes for the bed; on the other hand, have fun with the bedside tables and bed linen!
2. Invest in timeless furniture
If this is your third bed purchase since the birth of your child, don’t worry, this one will be the last one on the list. That’s why, just like the desk, the bedside tables, or the lighting fixtures, you should think about buying timeless furniture. If no one can predict the trend for the next 10 years, you can keep yourself from falling for a bed with a New York City image or a desk in the shape of a basketball (yes, it exists).
Prefer sober lines without making a cross on the design! Remember that these are the pieces of furniture that will certainly accompany him in his first apartment. Also, think that your child will become an adult and may not assume his teenage choices. So think for him, in terms of timeless furniture.
3. Think about the mezzanine bed
Why? Because it’s perfect for adults in the making. The mezzanine will be ideal in your child’s room or later in your student’s room. First of all, because it saves a lot of space when you are a student, but also because in your child’s room where your bed takes all the space, the mezzanine will free up this space.
Be prepared; a teenager lives in his room; it is his intimacy and his den. You have an entire house with multiple rooms; he only has this given space. With a mezzanine, you will create a more private and confidential space. You can install his desk, a small sofa and a coffee table, set up a small TV corner… The possibilities are numerous, and in any case, your child will appreciate it.
4. Integrate design and trend
How to create a room that comes out of childhood without looking like a serious adult or a monk and that remains timeless while integrating the codes of his generation? Focus on design and the latest trends. For example, copper is a material particularly appreciated by decoration enthusiasts; in your teenager’s room, it will bring a young touch to the air of time. Here again, the suitcases and bedside tables are welcome.
Your child has grown up; you can now indulge yourself in the decoration; it is certain that he will feel more adult and delighted. For a teenager, it is very important to have a study and work space set up in his room. This study area should have several features and elements. First of all, it should be comfortable and have plenty of practical storage space. Also, choose an ergonomic seat adapted to the work.
Place a lamp on the desk, and finally, make sure the internet connection in the room (and in the whole house) is fast. This way, your teen will be able to work on their homework in the best possible conditions. If you’re short on space, the trick is to invest in a loft bed. Your child’s desk is located directly under the bed in this configuration. A great solution for small rooms.
5. Twist the wall decoration
And because, after all, your teenager is still your child, listen to his desires according to the years and dedicate the walls of his room to it. If between 13 and 14 years old, it is the rock which impassions him then, between 15 and 17 years old the skateboard, you will have only to change the posters and the photos on the wall. There is something for everyone in this room, and it will be a hot and decorative room that will please your teenager!
