How to Decorate your Teenage Daughter’s Room
A teenager is complicated. This is a stage in their lives when they are going through several changes and are exploring themselves. It is also the time when their parents are the last thing on their minds and they try to express this in different ways.
Your teen is not going to be very keen on being in a room that she spent her childhood in. Pink bunnies, flowers and kitten décor are things that she has grown out of and needs to change the look of her room. If you have a teen girl at home it is time to sit down and talk about decorating ideas.
You will need to change almost everything in the room. Start by making small changes like introducing new bead spreads and wall colors. Don’t make any decisions on your own as your teen will not appreciate it; this is the time when you need to start giving your teen a chance to make her choices.
Go shopping together and pick out the new linen for the room. When you are deciding on the new paint for the room have a few samples painted on the room in different areas and keep them there for a few days. Let your teen decide the color that she would prefer for her room.
If you are not keen on an entire makeover for the room then you can make a few change in the décor by getting rid of old furniture and replacing it with new bolder ones. Introducing storage cabinets in the room is a good idea at this point. This will include storage for books, the endless outfits that your daughter brings home every week and other knick knacks that she is going to pick up along the way.
Add storage bins under the bed to store clothes and other items. Put up a show case in the room to display her treasures like trophies and medals and other memorabilia. Don’t forget to introduce an area for shoes too.
Pick a theme for the room so that you can always check back with it when you are making your purchases; this will help you to avoid too many clashes in patterns.
