Teen Bedroom Design and Decoration Ideas

Teen bedroom design and decoration ideas are sometimes a tricky area. They've outgrown the furniture and décor from the bedroom design of when they were kids, but you are reluctant to toss out good furniture! But before you say no, take a good look at the furniture - is it really worth keeping?

Kids can be very tough on furniture and it may really be time to let it go, but if it is still holding up good you might be able to give it a new cool look with some paint and new knobs. Before you start on that, however, you need to figure out the theme of your teen bedroom design.

Most teen bedroom design themes are centered around modernistic or "cool" designs. Teens actually have pretty good design sense (probably from watching so much TV!) and you can design a really neat room just by adding some new accents. Of course, your teen may need a new desk to do their homework at if the old one no longer works but you can give the old furniture a new look as mentioned above.

Teen bedroom design and decoration ideas can be fun and funky. Bean bag chairs, flirty lamps and of course, lots of storage for all their stuff. Buy or build shelves or a huge shelving unit that you can put on the wall to keep their stuff off the floor and reduce clutter.

Your teen bedroom design can have a fun but sophisticated look by painting the room in a "cool" color like chocolate, sage or purple and using accents to as focal points. A flokati or rag rug will lend a sophisticated air and you can even put the down as area rugs on top of wall to wall carpeting to give the floor a whole new look. Replace the kids ruffled or theme curtains with tab topped curtains in a denim or canvas for a more adult look.

Bedding for a great teen bedroom design can be plain or funky. Depending on your teens taste, a neutral colored bed set with nicely textured fabrics like silks or a velvet duvet can add interest without being too flashy. Or if you want to make the bed a focal point, how about an animal print set or something in bright colors like hot pink and orange?

Accents can add fun and individuality to your teen bedroom design and decoration ideas. Some fun accents include chairs shaped like a giant shoe, faux fur covered lamps in wild colors, bean bag chairs of all types, phones in all shapes and sizes, funky accent pillows, rugs and wall art.
