Furnishing a teen's room can be a real challenge! Indeed, you'll need to be able to make the right choices to create a beautiful room that also matches your teen's tastes. Exchange and diplomacy may be necessary to ensure the process goes smoothly. Here are some tips for decorating a teen's room and creating a cozy space!

Discussing the future room

If your child feels they've outgrown the somewhat childish decor of their current bedroom, it's time to create a teen room. At this point, we recommend talking with your teenager to find out what they want, which elements they wish to keep, and which ones they want to change, etc. Indeed, this decorating project is a true co-creation between parent and child so that everyone is satisfied with the result. Don't hesitate to share ideas about this project, even creating a mood board to give you an idea of what this future teen room will look like.

Choosing the floor and walls

Before proceeding with the furnishing, it's an opportunity to empty the space to give the walls and possibly the floor a fresh look. Whether it's simply doing a deep clean and giving the walls a fresh coat of white paint, or replacing everything, it's a chance to embark on some minor renovations.

Regarding the floor, you can certainly change the atmosphere by opting for floating flooring, which is very easy to install. For the walls, you'll also have plenty of choices. Between paint and wallpaper, everything is possible to give this teen room a new look.

Choosing furniture

Then comes the moment to choose the furniture for this teen room. In general, we recommend opting for made in France, with PEFC certified wood to choose furniture that is both eco-friendly and durable.

The bed

Whether it's a teen boy's bed or a teen girl's bed, prioritize a quality teen bed. To save space in the room, you can opt for a teen bed with storage.

The OPUS trundle bed with storage, for example, is a piece of furniture that combines a teen bed, a second sleeping area, as well as storage shelves for storing books, decorative objects, etc. It can also be used as a daybed during the day.

Storage furniture and the desk

Regarding storage in a teen's room, it will vary according to needs. For clothes, you can choose a wardrobe and/or a teen dresser to benefit from a good storage capacity. It's also important not to forget to create a workspace with a dedicated desk for homework, reading, etc. Whether you opt for a teen boy's desk or a teen girl's desk, it's important to prioritize furniture with storage. Don't forget to add a comfortable office chair as well.

If space is limited in the room, you can easily combine several pieces of furniture into one by opting, for example, for a loft bed with a desk underneath. Finally, you can also add a bookshelf if your child is a reader. This will be an opportunity to incorporate lovely decorative objects. We explain everything about teen beds with storage in this article.

    Choosing textiles

    When it comes to textiles, you have the opportunity to further assert the style of this teen's room. Bed sets, for example, will help create the desired ambiance in the room. Whether they are understated or more colorful, we always recommend opting for natural materials such as organic cotton, for instance.

    To complete the look, you can add cushions, curtains, or even rugs to the room to create a cozy and warm space. For example, you can add a few colorful and patterned cushions on the bed, place a beautiful rug in the center of the room or as a bedside rug, or add beautiful colorful curtains to the windows.

    Choosing decorative elements

    Finally, you can complete everything with several decorative elements. First, there are decorative objects such as candles, vases, and other purely decorative items. These will allow your child to personalize their room according to their tastes by arranging these objects on shelves, a desk, a bedside table, etc. Be sure to offer them objects from their old room so they continue to feel in a reassuring and familiar environment. Small storage boxes will also be very useful for organizing their belongings and giving the room a neater appearance.

    Wall decoration is also a great way to personalize your child's room. Posters, drawings, or even garlands will brighten up the whole space. You can find a wide selection of posters online on all sorts of themes. Don't forget to add a beautiful full-length mirror to complete the look!

    Finally, you can complete the ensemble with beautiful lighting fixtures. Pendant lights, wall sconces, desk lamps, bedside lamps, or even string lights, there are plenty of possibilities in this area! Your child will thus be able to benefit from several light sources and create the ambiance they want according to their desires or the activity they are doing.

    Creating a teen room is a wonderful project to share with your child! Even if everything doesn't happen in one day, you'll gradually see this room take shape, revealing your teenager's personality and tastes!
