1

Make It Hangout Conducive

David A. Land

"Clashing is fun, and throwing patterns together is easy," says designer Fawn Galli. The trundle bed in this teenager's room is from RHTeen, but it's given a personal twist with new upholstery in a cheeky fabric. The glossy white egg chair adds a crisp pop and provides an extra place for them and their friends to hang.

2

Say Yes to Smart Storage

James Merrell

This bedroom by designer Katie Lyndon is the perfect example of how to decorate a space that can grow with a person. It has smart storage solutions with playful yet grown-up decor on display, a neutral color palette brought to life with fun prints and motifs, and high-quality bedding. For a similar feel, try mixing bold prints within a tight color scheme and make sure the details are polished—like these traditional sconces.

If your teens share one large room, consider two queen beds instead of two twin-sized beds if you have the space. The upgrade will make sharing a room feel a lot more mature and comfortable. Incorporate boho elements with a patterned rug, bright sheets and pillows, and rattan ottomans. Abstract photography is a chic, modern touch.

Enhance Privacy

José Manuel Alorda

What teenager doesn't love privacy? Give them a little extra with curtains around a four-poster bed. Not only will it allow for those weekend morning sleep-ins, but it also introduces some polished style. In this bedroom by Heather Hilliard Design, the zigzag bed skirt and striped pillow add just enough color to keep things youthful.

5

Have Fun with Decor

When decorating a kid's room, always invest in classic staples and then have a little more fun with the artwork and accessories. These are a lot easier to swap in and out and can introduce just as much personality. A printed upholstered headboard and fun throw pillows will bring in a sense of youthfulness while modern sconces add polish, like in this room by Amber Interiors. Pro tip: Frame those posters and flags for a more refined feel that still puts them in the spotlight.

6

Give Them Privacy

Beatriz da Costa

If their bedroom is big enough, carve out a little window seat in the corner so they have somewhere private to relax and hang out. Have fun with things like upholstery, headboards, and curtains, like Brooke Crew did here. And of course, wallpaper is another easy way to bring in color and a fun print. Opt for the removable kind or choose a permanent one you both love.

Create an Understated Base

Ryan Garvin

From the gray suede bed frame and industrial table lamp to the plaid throws and graphic framed print, decorator Breegan Jane chose understated and cozy staples for a versatile foundation that the child can build off of for years to come.

8

Add a Canopy

JOHN MERKL

Canopy beds are cool no matter what, and a wild print makes one even more fun. Also, why use an end bench when you can install an indoor Lucite swing at the foot of your bed instead? Leave it up to Studio Heimat to knock this teenage bedroom design out of the park.

9

Make Orgainzation Easy

James Nathan Schroder

Help your teen stay organized with bins and baskets complete with labels. This will help keep the room clean and stylish. We're also loving the mix of whimsy and sophistication in this teenager's bedroom designed by Jean Liu, namely, the blowfish wallpaper and metallic accents.

Strike a Balance

Here's proof that you can be bold and bright while still maintaining a clean, sophisticated aesthetic. The yellow stripes on the ceiling make the whole room pop, while the grays mellow things out just a touch. We also love the idea of putting a bed in the corner, where it feels more private and cozy.

11

Put Their Hobbies on Display

Nicole Hollis Studio

In the Hawaiian Kona-coast bedroom of a 13-year-old, surfboards pay homage to his happy place. At the occupant's request, San Francisco-based firm NICOLEHOLLIS made it a place where he can hang out with friends. "No matter the age, we always ask our clients how they live," she says.

12

Go All Out

Maura McEvoy

If your teen has a favorite color and knows exactly what they want their room to look like, why not go all out? Make it feel like something they'll still want to sleep in when they're older by opting for good quality bedding and timeless light fixtures. Layering different textures also brings in some warmth. We're big fans of the gallery wall of mirrors above the bed for added dimension and light.

13

Get Graphic Wallpaper

Brittany Ambridge

Though Peti Lau designed this bedroom for a really cool grownup (The Chainsmokers's Drew Taggart) and not an actual teenager, the graphic wallpaper and pops of bright blue are perfect for a mature teen's room. Mixed with the more polished elements, like the four-post bed frame and deep green velvet headboard, it's the perfect balance of fun and seriousness.

14

Incorporate Bold Colors

Paul Raeside

If a room could be a hug, this is what it would look like. The chipper yellow gingham wallpaper envelopes this entire space designed by Shazalynn Cavin-Winfrey, unifying the many angles and corners. The architectural quirks, along with the punchy colors and fun fabrics, make it feel like a clubhouse.

15

Keep It Clean and Simple

Nicole Franzen

Not all teenagers love bright colors, posters, and patterns. If your teen prefers neutral color palettes, bring in more dimension with a fluffy carpet, luxe bedding, and an interesting bed frame. Indoor plants and plenty of natural light don't hurt either. If they want to add in more color or decor later, that's always an option—it's best to start with a solid base they can build upon.

Add a Work Space

Heidi Caillier Design

Now here's a stylish bedroom that still has plenty of character, thanks to designer Heidi Caillier. A personal work space will make them feel more independent and hopefully boost productivity while they study from home.

17

Save Space in a Fun Way

Here's how you fit three teens in a room and have it actually seem fun. You might need a contractor's help, but it'll be worth if for how awed their friends will be when they come over. See more at The Bumper Crop.

The Spruce / Christopher Lee Foto

Decorating a teen's room is a challenge that is best approached as a collaboration between parents and children. Letting your teen have some control over their room's decor will help them to feel invested in the outcome, helping to ensure that the space is a reflection of their evolving tastes and personality. Depending on the age and personality of the teen in question, the perfect bedroom for an adolescent might retain some of the familiar remnants of childhood, embrace a sense of playfulness and teen spirit, or lean toward an adult space that looks as grown up as they feel.

Check out these bedrooms from a range of interior designers that are thoughtfully decorated to help teens study, relax, entertain, sleep, and be alone with their thoughts in comfort and style.

Room for a teenager-boy: 72 bedroom interior ideas in a modern style

Arranging functional areas, organizing storage, selecting furniture.

Publication date: 07.11.2019

Material prepared: Vera Rogatko

Men mature late (and some don't mature at all), so don't make the setting too serious for an eighth grader - keep it childish and playful. Read about other secrets of a successful children's room for a teenage boy in this post.

Design: Totaste Studio

How to plan space: placing functional areas

The window seat with the highest concentration of daylight is traditionally given to the desktop.

Idea for a note: extend the window sill to the depth of the desk or integrate the table into the window area so that the child always has enough space on it.

Design: Alexandra Hartke

Design: Fruktov Interiors

Design: Natalia Solo

In dimly lit areas of the room, we place a bed or a bedroom area for a teenage boy, a sports corner, a TV with a game console and other areas where the presence of active daylight is not of great importance, or vice versa, a little twilight is needed.

Design: Maria Vlasenko

Design: Julia Starikova

It is optimal if the desktop and the bed are not located close to each other, so that when falling asleep, the boy can quickly switch to rest, abstract from studies and lessons.

Design: Alisa Svistunova

Design: TS Design

Storage spaces are good to place close to the entrance so that cupboards and shelves can be brought to the space above the door. Plus, it will be convenient to put a laundry basket near the front door, and the mother will not have to go across the whole room to pick up the child’s clothes for washing.

Design: Tatiana Shaulyak

Place for a sports corner with dumbbells, Swedish wall, punching bag or basketball hoop is important to isolate as much as possible from other areas, “cut off” with a partition, highlight with color.

Deciding on the style

A 16-year-old boy will not need any hints here: even without adults, he will choose the style in which he wants to see his room, and the designer will help to adapt it to the general style of the house. At the same time, both children of this age and younger teenagers usually like styles:

  • modern, sporty chic;

Design: Denis Golub, Artem Shevchenko

  • loft, industrial;

  • Scandinavian.

The last one is the most practical: you can assemble a calm, nuanced base from decoration and furniture, which later will be harmoniously overgrown with a variety of child's things. And when the atmosphere gets boring, Scandinavian-style interiors are easy to change with new curtains, lamps, carpets and posters.

Design: Daria Alyaeva

It is better to avoid decorating ideas like “nautical style”, “space style”: rooms where the atmosphere is strictly subordinated to one narrow theme look beautiful only in interior magazines. In real life, they are doomed, they are unlikely to stand the test of daily operation and quickly lose their “cover” appearance. And you can add the atmosphere of the sea or space to the interior with the help of accents, locally.

Design: design studio of Olga Kondratova

Choosing a finish

Neutral range, wear resistance, strength - these are the three main criteria in the selection of finishing materials for the interior of a room for a teenage boy.

Design: Alexander Zavgorodny

Fine finish can be:

  • walls - washable paint, plaster, durable vinyl wallpaper, brick if the room is in a real loft;
  • floor good laminate or vinyl tile;
  • ceiling - paint or stretch fabric coating with a matte finish.

Design: Dark Ponds

Design: Svetlana Dikushina

Something exclusive and very expensive to pick up at this stage of a child's life is not worth it: the boy is growing, his tastes are changing rapidly, and the risk that a hand-drawn photo panel on the wall will one day be pasted over with a poster depicting a favorite rapper is too great.

Design: BIGO

We select furniture

For the sleeping area

A boy's adolescence is the time when it's time to buy an "adult" size bed (one and a half, as an option) with an orthopedic mattress, ideally with drawers for storage. If the room is very small, you can pick up a loft bed for it, and arrange a working place under the bed. Such a bed is also good because the child will feel secluded in it: children from 12-14 years old are especially sensitive to personal space.

Design: Evgeny Kashpurenko

Storage

When planning the storage system for clothes in a teenage boy's room, it is important that the closets have shallow shelves: they are convenient to store T-shirts, sweaters, jeans and other clothes in the Maria Kondo method, stacking them in horizontal rows, and not stacks, as usual. This will make it easier for the teenager to keep things in order.

Design: Azat Movlam

Place open shelves for textbooks, notebooks, magazines, stationery closer to the desktop and complement with closed cabinets and boxes for storing small items to avoid clutter.

Design: Marina Braginskaya

Design: AR-KA architectural studio

Workstation

Standard size table or height adjustable model? If the height of the child has already crossed the mark of 1.5 m, you can buy a regular table, like in adults, and it is better to buy a chair of adjustable sizes.

For a recreation area

Friends will come to the teenager - you need to think over places for them too. A good solution is bean bags: sitting neatly with a straight back is definitely not about teenagers, but in such a chair it’s convenient to “fall apart” as you like. Plus, such models are mobile, you can buy several of them at once, and after the guests leave, hide them in a wardrobe or closet.

Design: Konstantin Kryukov

Design: Vladimir Korobov

It is desirable to complement the atmosphere with a small sofa-transformer, so that an overstayed classmate or a friend in the sports section can stay overnight.

About the decor

It should be just a little, because in the space of a teenager there is already a lot of visual load. It is optimal if the decor is of an applied nature. It can be:

  • a political map of the world or an atlas of the starry sky on the wall, a globe;

Photo: behance.net

  • a collection of soccer balls, self-made models of vehicles and other items that reveal the child's hobbies;

Photo: studiosmvd.com

  • awards and diplomas. Select a part of the wall or a rack for them, arrange diplomas in beautiful frames, medals and cups - hang and arrange them harmoniously.

It's great if the interior has a place for things with humor: wallpaper with an ironic pattern on one of the walls, a strange flower pot, an unusual lamp.

Design: Oleg Klodt

+3 tips for decorating a teenage boy's room

1. Do not be afraid of dark colors in the room, if the teenager insists on just such a palette. A dark interior is not necessarily gloomy, with the right combination of shades it will look stylish and unusual, and will help the boy to express himself.

2. A cool design technique to decorate a fragment of the ceiling above the bed with interesting wallpaper and plaster. It's good when a child looks at something in front of him before going to bed.

3. If two teenagers will live in a room, it is important to equip for both of them with a separate private space for rest and sleep. But it is optimal to combine jobs, assigning each child to a certain zone.

Teen room design: 60 photos, interior ideas

Age from 13 to 17 is called transitional for a reason. During this period, children are rapidly changing - both externally and in terms of psychology, which means that the interior surrounding them must meet new needs. When creating a room design for a teenager, it is important to take into account the individual traits, interests, and hobbies of a growing child. The ideas and photos collected on our website will help you choose an interesting option for decorating a room and equip it with maximum comfort.

Teen room features

A year or two after the child graduates from elementary school, almost all parents are faced with the problem of refurbishing the children's room in a more adult format. As a rule, there is a need to replace the furniture, and the decoration often needs to be updated. All this requires a lot of attention and resources, but if all the details are thought out in advance, a stylish design will delight the young owner or owner until adulthood, or even longer.

Furniture ergonomics

When choosing a new bed, desk and computer desk for a teenager's room, you should pay attention to transforming models. The ability to adjust the height, width or length will not only be useful in terms of the convenience and health of a teenager, but will also significantly save the family budget. As for cabinets and shelves, they should have a good supply of free space for future replenishment of the wardrobe and storage of all necessary things.

Neutral finish

In adolescence, the tastes and preferences of children often change. To adapt the interior to new hobbies, it is advisable to choose a neutral design, in which there is always a place for noticeable accents. For example, for favorite pictures, photographs or posters, you can take one wall or niche - so the teenager will have a place for self-expression, and the rest of the surfaces will serve as a discreet background for a longer time.

Color influence

Ambient shades have a great influence on the mental and physical state of adolescents - they are especially sensitive to aggressive combinations that can often be observed in various subcultures. The dominant color in the underground youth movements is black, sometimes interspersed with red, hot pink, and yellow. Making a room in such tones can cause depression, outbursts of irritation, and sleep disturbances. Gloomy and overly bright colors are best replaced with calmer tones. Light gray, beige, blue, green, brown are suitable as a base.

Design room for a teenage girl

The traditional design theme for young ladies is spring floral motifs. All kinds of hearts, butterflies, cats are suitable for girls who, even in the middle classes, retain childish spontaneity and serenity. For older schoolgirls, you can choose a design in the style of your favorite book, focus on the owner's hobby - music, needlework, drawing or dancing.

The color palette in the interior of a girl's room should match the character of the owner, filling the space with lightness and comfort. Delicate pastel and sunny colors are appropriate: white, pink, light green, yellow, orange, turquoise, lilac. Natural combinations and different saturation shades of the same color look especially harmonious.

The style of a girl's room can be both restrained (modern minimalism) and romantic - here you should pay attention to Provence, shabby chic, light classics. If a young lady is fond of the culture of a country, you can borrow from there the characteristic features of the situation, ethnic decor or symbols.

Teenage Boy Room Design

When designing a room for a teenage boy, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to practicality and only then to aesthetics. Spacious wardrobes, organizers and drawers will teach the child to put things in their places. To facilitate cleaning, you should avoid open shelves and unnecessary decor, that is, objects that do not carry a functional load. A good decoration of the interior will be awards: cups, figurines, certificates received by the boy for personal achievements in studies, sports or other areas of life. The attributes of success left in sight will increase the young man's self-esteem and inspire him to new victories.

The design of the room should be created taking into account the individual characteristics of the growing owner. Someone likes adventure style, someone is fond of rock music, cars, technology, history or astronomy. Many guys are associated with some kind of sport - they play football, basketball, do martial arts, athletics, etc. All this can be reflected in the interior using thematic prints, badges and decorative elements.

Zoning a room for two children

When children reach puberty, it becomes necessary to move them to different rooms, but sometimes the small area of ​​the apartment does not allow this. In this case, zoning will help to equip each child with their own space.

Partitions. Almost all teens need their own private "nooks and crannies" to be able to get away. This is especially important for children of different sexes. To divide one room into two parts, partitions should be used, but in no case should one be left without natural light. Thick curtains, plywood, wooden, plasterboard walls, tall cabinets and shelving are suitable as a screen.

Bunk furniture is usually used in small nurseries, but you can find many interesting options for teenagers. Particularly convenient are the structures, on the first floor of which there is a working area, and on the second - a bedroom. The side walls are reserved for storing things. Such sets are more individual than simple bunk beds, as they remain in the sole possession of the child.

Podium is another good technique for zoning a room for two same-sex children. Elevation above the floor level allows you to fill the vertical space more efficiently, and pull-out beds or drawers for storing things can be installed under the “stage”.
