The decoration should combine practicality, simplicity, good taste and joy; All desired features in a youth room. That is why we will show you some photos and ideas of simple rooms, contemporary style and full of energy and good taste.
Points to keep in mind
Si estás buscando ideas para el dormitorio de los adolescentes, piensa en lo que le encanta a tu hijo y trata de ver su habitación desde su perspectiva. Un adolescente tiene un concepto diferente de un dormitorio que un adulto: más allá de un lugar donde dormir, es donde escapa de las demandas y las reglas del mundo.
There are few places where a teenager can express themselves without shame. The room is the best choice. Your favorite things are diverse and sometimes jarring, but with a little planning, all ideas can be unified. It’s important to note that your bedroom is an expression of who you are.
Today’s teens are design-conscious and very up-to-date on the latest trends. But they are halfway between childhood and adulthood. Most teens have beloved toys that they’re not ready to put down, yet you want a room that’s more adult and more sophisticated than your childhood room.
A teenager will appreciate that his room is his self-contained mini apartment where he can spend most of his time comfortably. Regardless of size, a teen’s room should be versatile enough that they can do homework, hang out with friends, rest, and sleep, all while reflecting their personality.
Define different areas
Consider your bedroom as more than just a sleeping space. As they begin to explore their independence, having a room where they can hang out, study, and rest with friends is almost more important than sleeping. And the social aspect of a room is very important. The following areas in your room should be creatively addressed:
- A sleeping area
- An area of study
- A place to rest with friends
If small space is an issue, try visualizing creative approaches to meet your multipurpose room goal, for example:
A vertically oriented study area, for example, a small surface for writing and using the space above or below for storage.
Cork or magnetic dry-erase boards can clear the surface of the desk.
A small bench against the foot of the bed could be a versatile little room.
Add a nice armchair with cushions and a rug in one corner to create a comfortable corner.
Place the bed against a wall. Add some cushions while not sleeping, to create a place to sit, and that the bedroom becomes a comfortable living room.
Walls
While adults prefer a quiet, low-key space, teens appreciate vibrantly colored, high-energy rooms. The wall is the largest area you can work with in a bedroom. You can consider some of these ideas:
Paint the wall in two colors.
With an original wallpaper you can achieve a very youthful bedroom.
Pictures and shelves with ornaments.
A custom drawing or graffiti for an urban style.
Colored LED lights.
Creative ideas
Tranquility and calm are good concepts for adult bedroom design, but teens prefer a bedroom that is fun. Usually, they want a creative and original bedroom. The bold and imaginative elements will encourage it. Some ideas:
A swing or hanging chair.
A hanging bed.
A wall with geometric designs in various colors.
A bed on one level, taking advantage of that space as storage
A slate wall where they can express themselves (slate paint is available in other colors, in addition to black. Pink, cobalt blue and lime green are among the latest offerings.) In it the young man can write memorable quotes, lyrics of his favorite songs and other non-permanent graffiti. You can easily turn any space on a wall into a whiteboard with a can of chalkboard paint.
While the concept may sound a bit childish, decorating the ceiling is a good idea to bring a youth room to life. For example, a ceiling with a night sky can actually provide a great touch to the room. Paint the entire space dark blue and attach small bright stars.
A tip: When incorporating a hobby or special interest into a design, do it carefully. While your child’s phone may be full of Bob Marley or your daughter has developed a penchant for vampires, any of these phases can end at any time. Adolescence is a time of transition, so make sure the space is open for these changes.
