Bedroom Interior Design Ideas For The Parents Of Teens

Decorating children's bedrooms is easy when they're still young, but as any parent knows, the tastes of children change as they get older and bedroom interior design for teenage children can be especially difficult. The key is to get your child involved in the process of decorating their room; while it's tempting to just redecorate their room without their involvement, both you and your child will likely be far happier with the end result if you ask for (and listen to) their input.

If your home is like most, chances are that your teens bedroom is one of the smaller bedrooms in your home and decorating a smaller bedroom presents its own set of challenges, especially when teens are involved. Keep in mind that more so than younger children, teenagers tend to spend a lot of time in their own rooms, so it's important to make sure that it's a comfortable place for them to hang out and that they can feel is their own as they grow through their teenage years and mould their own identity. The following tips can help you to make your teens room a place that they’ll enjoy being in.

Cut Back On Clutter: Especially in small bedrooms, having too much furniture can make things feel crowded and cluttered. Your child will feel uncomfortable in a room which is crowded with furniture – and this leads to a messy room quite easily. The first step to redecorating your teenage child's bedroom is to eliminate any unnecessary furniture to minimize clutter and make room for storage. Not only will this make the room more comfortable, it'll give your child no excuse for a messy room (other than being a teenager, of course).

Picking Out Furniture It may involve a little more expense upfront, but going for high quality pieces of furniture when you're redecorating your teenager's bedroom will definitely pay off in the long run. If you have younger children, these pieces can be passed down as they grow into their teen years – and if your teen is your oldest child or an only child, they can take these pieces along with them when they go off to college or move away into their first home of their own. Good quality furniture from Bedroom World will last for decades if properly cared for, which is important – we all know how hard kids can be on their bedroom furniture, whether they're younger kids or teenagers.

Choose Colors Carefully: While you'll need to let your child have some say in this, it's best to go with a color scheme which makes the room feel more spacious. This doesn't necessarily mean whites or off-whites; most monochromatic schemes or schemes which use different shades of the same color will do the trick, provided that these colors aren't too dark. You can also help to make the space feel larger by using furniture and accent pieces in lighter colors. Cool colors like blue can help to create an illusion of spaciousness as well.
