20 Teen Bedroom Ideas To Upgrade Your Child's Space
If we know anything about teenagers, it's that their rooms are their domains. It's where they spend a bulk of their time, from catching up on homework to scrolling on their phones, spending hours getting lost in the worlds of TikTok and Instagram.
Kimberly M. Stone, owner of the interior design firm Adore Your Décor, explained to LoveToKnow that there are a few things to consider when you're designing a teenager's room, including infusing vital elements into the space such as function, personality, and memorabilia. "Invest in some furniture that has an adult feel, so that your teen will not outgrow the room's décor in a couple years. This furniture could even be something they take with them later to college or their first apartment," said Stone.
Livingetc suggested that parents and teens collaborate on the room together, creating mood boards and talking about everything (to avoid meltdowns, of course). So if you're ready to get inspired to take on your teen's bedroom space, keep scrolling.
