How To Create The Perfect Bedroom For Your Teenager

But since it’s been so long since you last were a teenager, and with bedroom trends moving so quickly, it’s hard to know what your child wants when it comes to transforming their bedroom.

You don’t want the room to be too grown-up and feel like your child is growing too quickly, but you also want them to feel comfortable in their own space and proud to be their friends around.

This can be a tricky issue to navigate and leave many parents feeling confused and stressed about their child’s bedroom renovation.

However, there are easy ways that you can transform your child’s space into a paradise where they can sleep, study and lounge, for an independent, practical and lasting design which can move and grow with your child.

So, from pallets to colors, and decor to smart storage, here’s how you create the perfect room for your teenager so that they can enjoy their own space again.

Build a Solid Foundation

Building your children’s room around the main uses of the space is the best way to make sure the room is practical. Many parents make the mistake of focusing on aesthetics and forgetting about the main uses of the room.

Firstly, a comfortable bed is essential to ensure that your child has the best night’s sleep so they can excel at school and their body can recover from growing. This includes making sure they have a quality mattress, a sturdy headboard, and under-bed storage so that the bedroom can remain uncluttered, comfortable and last into the far future.

Finish the bed space with textured quilts, a throw blanket and accent pillows in fun colours to give a sophisticated yet fun vibe, which is perfect for this transition period.

Divide the Room Into Functional Zones

Ensuring that your child’s room has multiple functions to create a diverse space that acts as a space to sleep, study and relax is essential for the use of the space.

• Study Space:

  Dedicate a quiet and well-lit corner with a desk that can be used for homework and studying. Alternatively, these spaces can also be multi-use and used for gaming or a beauty space where your child can store their PC or face primers.

  In addition to a desk, you should also include shelving, whether that be above or below the desk, for future storage and to put personal belongings, to keep the desktop clear of clutter.

• Lounge Area:

  Teens like to spend a lot of time in their room, whether they are gaming, reading or watching YouTube. This means that they should create a dedicated chill corner using flow pillows, beanbags or an armchair where they can hang out alone or with friends.

• Personal Space:

  If your children share rooms, then certain privacy between your children is essential, especially as they get older. There are many ways that you can create privacy through layout and furniture.

  Firstly, ensuring that the layout prioritises beds falling in different directions, so that they have their own space, is essential. In addition to this, you should also put up curtains around the beds for extra privacy, as well as bookshelves to block the view from each bed.

Create a Custom Vibe

Although it may be tempting to find inspiration on Pinterest and roll with it, It’s important to ensure that your child has a say in decor using their likes and dislikes.

Not only is this a chance to ensure that your child likes their room, but it is also a chance to bond with you soon to be teenager. Here you can make a vision board using apps such as Canva and use Pinterest to create a theme and colour scheme.

A teen’s room should be a canvas that can grow with them and that they can change as they move through their teenage years.

Ensuring that you put up cork boards, photos, and remove the wallpaper, allows your teen to change their mind and customise their room to whatever likes, interested and phases they go through in the coming years.

Final Thoughts

Designing your teenagers’ bedrooms doesn’t have to feel impossible. With these tips and tricks, you can create a paradise for your teenager to express themselves, whilst also being productive and well-rested.

After all, when your child feels happy and content within their space, they can flourish and feel like their most authentic self.
