Decorating your teen's bedroom is a minefield. You want a sensible space they can relax, study and hang out with friends in. They want something totally out of this world that wouldn't even work! You need to come together and decide on what you're going to do. You don't need to compromise though. With a little planning, you can both get what you want. Here's what you need to keep in mind when you hit the furniture store West Palm Beach.
Remember A Teen Bedroom Isn't Just A Bedroom
As an adult, you have only need your bedroom for sleeping. That's why you want it to be calm and relaxing, usually dominated by the biggest bed you can fit in it. That's perfect or you, but your teen needs a lot more from their bedroom. Remember, your teen isn't using their bedroom just for sleep. They're relaxing, studying, playing games, reading, and of course, hanging out with their friends. That room is their space and their space alone. They're going to need a room that's multifunctional, no matter how much space you've got to play with.Keep Their Personality In Mind
As this is your teen's space, they need to be able to express themselves creatively through it. Work with them to design a style for the room. Does your teen love colorful prints and bright furniture, or are they more muted in the tones they choose? Do they like artfully arranged clutter, or are they more minimalist in their approach? Give them the chance to really create a room that's just for them.
Create The Perfect Study Space
Every teen needs a space where they can do their homework and get things done. Adding in a study space to the room is essential. You'll want a desk that fits the space you have. Even if the room is small, you can buy desks that are designed to fit smaller spaces. You can maximize your storage here, too. Try using vertical space to install storage around the desk. Shelves above the desk, and drawers below, really maximize the amount of space your teen has to stash all those notebooks and laptop chargers.Add A Lounge Area
If your teen has friends over, you want them to have their own space, rather than taking over your living space. That's why a lounge area in your teen's bedroom is so important. If you have space, consider buying some sofas West Palm Beach. Even one small sofa can make all the difference, and make your teen feel sophisticated and grown up. If there isn't the space for that, even some throw cushions and rug in a corner can make a comfy lounge space.Wall Decorations That Won't Wreck Your Walls
Every teen has had this fight with their parents at some point. They want to put up posters and other decorations, but their parents won't let them. What of the walls? You don't want them full of tack holes! There is a solution, however. You can give them options for hanging decorations, without covering every square inch of space with posters. One good option is a large corkboard. These can be used to display almost anything your teen wants to display, without creating marks on the walls.Keeping these decorations in one area will cut down on wall clutter, too. It's also a good idea to put in a good full-length mirror, so your teen can check out their look before they head out for the day. Put it in a spot where there's good lighting, so they can get ready in the morning with ease. Another good option for decorating a room are removable wall decals. As the name implies, these won't damage the walls and can be taken down whenever you need them to. They're all kinds of patterns and shapes out there, so you can pick a style that suits your teen perfectly.
