A child's bedroom is a space that gets remodeled every few years as the little person grows. A modern, fashionable room design for a teenager is created already when he or she is 11-13 years old. Gnomes, bears and Barbies are becoming a thing of the past, giving way to more “adult” decor.
In a teenager's room, style should be combined with comfort and functionality.
Features of the design of a teenage bedroom
Developing a suitable room interior for any teenager depends on the latter’s lifestyle, his activities, hobbies, as well as the area of the room.
When decorating a teenage room, it is important to take into account the opinion of the owner or mistress of the room
He should be given a choice:
- interior styling;
- colors of walls, floors, draperies;
- appearance, design of furniture items;
- decorative design;
- textures of finishing materials;
- type and shape of lighting fixtures.
There is no need for excessively expensive decoration in a children's space - many teenagers are not very neat. The furniture is chosen to be durable, comfortable, stable, with multiple storage spaces. Little textile is used - non-staining, practical fabrics are preferred.
The child will have to live in the renovated premises for at least several years, so he should like everything here.
Footage
16 sq. m, like 18 sq. m., are quite spacious rooms for a nursery, especially for one child. It is here that you can easily provide all the main areas for children to live, while still leaving enough space for games. The nursery project is the initial stage of design. And if for a living room, for example, the arrangement of furniture is important for the purposes of aesthetics and visual perception, then for a child’s room it is a plan to comply with the maximum safety conditions for the home.
Design options for a rectangular room
The easiest way to arrange a rectangular room. It is easy to plan several logical zones here. The place to sleep is arranged in the warmest, darkest corner. It makes sense to organize a study or work area right next to the window. At the same time, the interior should not seem boring or uninteresting. A space like this requires a variety of colors, textures, shapes and sizes.
A fun solution for a small rectangular room, where a bright curtain divides the space into a study area and a place to relax.
For furniture you will need:
- bed for sleeping;
- sofa or chair for daytime relaxation;
- table and chair;
- dresser;
- wardrobe;
- bookshelves.
If there is a sports corner, a special bench, horizontal bar or wall bars are purchased for it.
Plan an area to socialize with friends
1 / 0
2 / 0
Agree: it’s not very cool when guests sit on the bed. If your teenager has a lot of friends whom he happily invites over, it’s time to create a cozy lounge area with a comfortable sofa (and if the size of the room allows, then also an armchair). In such a space it will be comfortable to read, watch TV and communicate.
In a small room
In a cramped room, some areas will have to be combined and the walls painted in light colors. At one table there will be a working and creative area, on the contrary - a sleeping or play area. In a small room, some of the things that are not used every day are stored on mezzanines near the ceiling.
It is better to use a corner table as a workplace, which has good capacity and does not take up much space.
Furniture is purchased compact or transformable - a loft bed, a sofa bed, a wardrobe sofa. A bed with built-in drawers at the bottom or placed on a podium with spacious storage sections is also a great idea.
Choosing a design depending on the gender of the teenager
A suitable children's room design for a teenager is selected depending on his gender. The most important thing in a room is safety, convenience, and practicality. There is enough light here, the possibility of ventilation, but the absence of drafts and sufficient privacy.
For interior decoration, environmentally friendly finishing materials are used, mainly natural fabrics, and decor chosen by the child.
Room design for a teenage boy
The bedroom of a teenage boy should be quite spacious - it is better to avoid unnecessary items and excessive decor. Usually every child has a hobby, which is important to consider when decorating the room.
To fit everything you need in a small room, you should consider installing a loft bed
For those who are interested in music, they set up a mini-stage where they place guitars, a drum set, a synthesizer, and posters of their favorite performers are glued to the wall. For a beginning bodybuilder, they purchase a set of dumbbells and other sports equipment, and install a large mirror so that the teenager can evaluate the correctness of the exercises. The artist will need a place to place the depicted productions, store easels, and finished canvases.
Room design for a teenage girl
The decoration of a teenage girl's room is done mainly in soft, pastel colors. The must-have items here are a large wardrobe and a dressing table with a real dressing room mirror. Girls' rooms are often decorated with valances, canopies, and lace curtains.
If a girl likes the color pink, you can choose its shades to decorate the room
A place for a hobby is also necessary here - if a girl is engaged in sewing, knitting, drawing, it is arranged near the window. A sports corner is organized in the back of the room. For collectors of dolls, soft toys, porcelain souvenirs, purchase a special stand. Photo wallpapers, posters, and real mannequins are used as decoration.
White nursery for girls
The predominance of white in the interior of a girl’s room will give a feeling of freshness and sophistication. Light walls will create a spacious, clean space and visually enlarge it.
It is appropriate to use white furniture for a girl’s room. A children's white chest of drawers for storing things will perfectly replace a bulky storage system. And in combination with a white crib they will create a light, airy interior.
Textiles in delicate shades of pink, purple or lavender will add color and create a harmonious space.
You need to select accessories and decor taking into account the style you like.
For a girl under 12 years old, the Provence style is quite suitable - an abundance of textiles, delicate muted colors of lavender, pale green.
For a teenage girl, you can use bright accents that will reflect the rebellious spirit of the hostess.
If the interior is being created to grow, neutral white walls and furniture will help you easily transform the interior to take into account changing priorities.
For example, changing pastel shades of curtains and textiles to richer ones can add depth and privacy to the space.
Choosing a style direction for a teenager's room
Many styles are suitable for the bedroom of a growing boy or girl. Most often it is classic and boho, avant-garde and Provence, minimalism and loft, Scandinavian and industrial, modern and high-tech, military and modern.
Modern
Modern-style bedrooms for teenage girls are an easy task to complete. There are few things here, the furniture is compact, light, comfortable, modular or transformable products are preferred. Colors are predominantly light, contrasting spots are rarely present.

Minimalism
Decorating a room for a teenager in a minimalist style will be quite inexpensive. There is nothing superfluous here, the space seems uninhabited. Only “pure” colors are used - red, white, blue, yellow. Draperies, indoor plants and voluminous decor are absent.
Laconic minimalism will be the ideal solution for a small teenager’s room
Scandinavian
The room is decorated in light colors - white, cream, wood, beige, blue. There are many lamps in the form of lanterns, natural textiles, prints with grapes, peaches, decor in the form of shells and sea pebbles are welcome.
The Scandinavian interior is characterized by a simple design that eliminates unnecessary decoration of the room.
Modern
In this style, there are practically no bright spots of color; reddish-brown, pearlescent, gray-green, and muted blue tones are used. Most of the lines are smooth, the furniture is wooden, there are caissons, moldings, images of lilies and dragonflies.

Classic
Not everyone will like the classic interior - it looks too strict. These are regular shapes, natural materials, cabinets with paneled doors, a high bed on turned legs, a mirror in a carved frame. To diversify the design, wallpaper with bright patterns is glued to the walls. A mandatory attribute is a multi-arm, preferably crystal chandelier.
Many teenagers prefer neoclassical interiors, less strict and more modern.
Industrial
The original bedroom design for a modern teenager is industrial. It is suitable for a spacious room where everything is as functional as possible. The colors used are concrete gray, brick brown, dark wood. It's as if half the things in the room came from a landfill, but each item has a special use.
A retro bed, a workbench, industrial lamps are suitable attributes for a room in an industrial style.
Provence
The “French village” style is replete with chintz draperies and small floral prints. The furniture here is durable, high-quality, stable, mostly wooden or wicker, artificially aged. Suitable colors are creamy yellow, corn, caramel, shades of “wild stone”.

Loft
The style is characterized by dark colors - brown, gray, off-white. Some of the furniture here is modern, the rest is deliberately shabby, in an antique style. One of the walls is decorated with wallpaper or brick-like plaster; a bed transformable into a closet or “attic” type is suitable. This option is optimal for large spaces with high ceilings.
Imitation brickwork is a must-have attribute for a loft-style room
White nursery for a boy
The interior of a boy's room should, first of all, provide the child with maximum comfort and space.
It is better not to load the room with a large amount of furniture so that the child can safely turn the room into the deck of a ship, a desert island or even a football field.
A white children's room for a boy will give a feeling of spaciousness, and bright color effects in the decor will help avoid monotony and boredom.
For example, with just a few bright decorative elements in turquoise or blue, you can turn a white boy’s room into the deck of a ship or, using shades of green, into an Amazonian jungle.
And yellow shades of accessories and curtains will turn the room into a sunny beach. Neutral white walls and furniture will later easily help transform the interior in accordance with the changing tastes of the child.
Also suitable for a boy is a nautical style in blue, light blue, white tones interspersed with red and gray. You can decorate the walls with paintings or posters in a marine theme.
Scandinavian style is suitable for a teenager - clean white lines, minimal furniture, simple surfaces. Lots of air and space.
The teenager will add bright objects to this interior himself.
Photos of examples of teenage room interiors
The photos depicting a nursery for a teenager are very different from each other. Beautiful design ideas can be found even where the nursery is separated from the common room only by pieces of furniture. A room in a nautical style looks interesting, with a picture of a sailboat on the photo wallpaper and blue and white striped rugs.

The room looks original, with a pastel-colored canopy over the bed attached to a frame. The work area, located under the plane of the loft bed, is also often decorated with a curtain made of lace or thick fabric. A place to meet with friends is set up next to the computer or dressing table. Several ottomans, armchairs, and a small TV are placed here.
