Teen rooms can be a real challenge but they don’t have to be. The most
important thing to remember when decorating or redecorating a teen room is to
keep an open mind and listen to your teen’s thoughts regarding her own space.
You see, teens have their own style and in most cases desire a room the
reflects their individuality. For parents sometimes it’s hard to accept that our
teens decorating ideas may not match our own.
You also need to consider what end of the teenage scale your child is on.
Chances are a teens taste and sense of self will change considerably between 13
and 17. Hence, the reason to tread lightly with fads and trends that may be here
today and gone tomorrow.
Air on the side of caution and put a spending cap on major décor items that
may be trendy but expensive. This is achieved by keeping the core elements of
the room simple and using trendy accessories to enhance not overpower the room.
* Update your teen’s furniture with a coat of paint or other decorative
touches.
* Turn a small table into a cool make-up vanity by painting it to match the
room’s décor.

* If your teen opts for a deep color on her walls, accent the room with a few
bright accessories to bring a sense of warmth to her space.
* Use colorful bed linens to bring decorative elements together. Purchase
extra sheets and use to make matching window and lamp shades.
* Looking for a little height and drama? Think vertical stripes in vibrant
colors.
* Don’t replace worn out wall-to-wall carpeting instead opt for a low
maintenance painted floor with throw rugs.
