![]() Save yourself the hassle and just make it as easy as possible for them to keep the room tidy. Much like in a kid's room, storage is key to designing a teen's bedroom that is functional and clutter-free. ![]() Add contemporary piping in a contrasting color to the edge of your headboard, this instantly adds a twist to any standard headboard and broadens the color scheme and it’s also a great way for a teen to add personality to their space.' 6. Bring in quirky furniture 'Introduce vibrant colors or earthy tones, these work well against a neutral backdrop while keeping the space light and airy. ![]() An upholstered headboard is an easy way of injecting color and texture into your bedroom.' advise Jen & Mar founders of Interior Fox. 'A bed is the dominant feature of any bedroom, it is the focal point and acts as a base to center the rest of your scheme around. Make the bed the focal point of the room with a statement headboard – this wooden headboard was actually DIYed from old planks and gives this pink bedroom such a coo, rustic edge, bringing in loads of lovely texture. Paint a section of the wall from floor to ceiling which is just a little wider than the desk or table used for homework.' advises Joa. 'This area should be stronger in tone than the rest of the room, and could even be in Railings or Downpipe, colors that many teenagers crave! For extra drama use Full Gloss on this section which will bounce some light around and act as a super durable surface for blue-tac etc.' 4. Get creative with a cork wallĬhances are your teen will spend a lot of time in bed, so put some time into creating the ideal, cozy sleep space. 'Define a desk area by painting it a different color to the rest of the room. And if space is tight, be inspired by this small bedroom and opt for something compact and narrow that's built in complete with a desk and storage. Pick something that's practical of course, but make it stylish too and fit with the style of the room. Even if they are a tween and serious study hasn't really entered their world yet, it will only be a few years before a desk is needed, so plan ahead and build onto into the layout of their bedroom. It may not be as exciting as picking colors or deciding on wallpapers, but having a private space to work is a really important aspect of a teen's bedroom. Adding coordinating pillows will liven the room whilst keeping costs at bay, an achievable makeover which can be frequently mixed up.' 3. Include a space for study Keep it simple by painting the walls a neutral tone and experiment using a selection of colorful wall art. 'Starting with a blank canvas is not only manageable but encourages creativity. 'As teenagers develop, their styles and identities develop too meaning their bedroom could need several restyles from early teens through to later years.' says Debbie Leigh, Design Manager at ILIV. It's best to start with a versatile base that they themselves can build on over time – plus, a neutral bedroom is timeless so you won't find yourself having to redecorate with every trend. Make it feel cozier with rugs and layers of bed linen, both of which can be switched out to change the look of the room as they grow up and their tastes begin to change. White or greys walls, wooden floors, simple decor can all be a backdrop to whatever style your teen eventually brings into the space. And if color doesn't seem to be an easy place to start, just play it safe and keep it neutral.
