If you’re searching for teen bedroom ideas, think about what your teenager loves and see their bedroom through their perspective. It’s more than a place to sleep, the bedroom is where your teen escapes from the world of grown-up demands and rules.

There are few places where a teen can express themselves and the bedroom is their top choice. Their favorite things may be diverse and unusual, but with some planning, all of their passions can tie together beautifully.

When brainstorming teen bedroom ideas, the most important thing to remember is that their bedroom is an expression of who they are.

Today’s teenagers are design-conscious and up to date on the latest trends. But they’re torn between childhood and adulthood. Most teens have beloved toys they’re not ready to give up, but look for a room that’s older and more sophisticated than their childhood room.

A teen will most appreciate an approach to their room as their mini, self-contained apartment where they can spend most of their time comfortably. Regardless of size, a teen’s bedroom needs to be versatile enough for them to spread out and get homework done, hang with friends, lounge and sleep, all while reflecting their personality.

Teen bedroom ideas should include functions specific to their age, as well as look great. While adults prefer a space that’s calm and understated, teens appreciate vibrant, high energy rooms. Keep the following teen bedroom ideas in mind.

Multi-Purpose Room

A teenager’s room is more than just a sleeping space. As they begin exploring their independence, having a room where they can hang out, study and lounge with friends is almost as important as sleep. And the social aspect of a teen room decor is big. A survey of global teenagers found that the #1 thing a teen would add to their room is a poster of themselves with their friends. Work with your teen to creatively include the following areas in their room:

  • Cozy sleep area
  • Customized study area
  • Place to lounge with friends

Cozy Textures

Teens love spending time in their rooms because they feel safe and comfortable. This is especially true for a teenage girl’s room. They’re naturally drawn to feel-good fabrics, cute designs, and soft textures like these:

  • Flocked velvet wallpaper
  • Faux fur rug
  • Gauzy or patterned curtains
  • Plush bedding
  • Hanging fringe
  • Fuzzy or soft throw pillows

Savvy Storage

Let’s face it, teenagers and organized rooms are a rare combination. Messy bedrooms seem to be a teenager’s rite of passage. Smart storage options are one feature they probably didn’t think of, but will totally appreciate.

Help them keep their bedroom tidy and functional with these must-have storage items:

  • Dressers
  • Shelving
  • Under-the-bed storage bins
  • Storage benches or storage ottomans
  • A cabinet wall around the bed

Be sure to make storage fun, just like you would for all teen bedroom ideas. Combining functionality with personality is the key to designing a space they will love for years.

It doesn’t matter if you boy or girl teens at home, they can all appreciate cool bedroom decor. Invite them to brainstorm ideas with you to design a creative space that’s comfortable, functional, and suits their unique teenage style.

Three great ideas for a KALLAX desk . #1 Compact, minimalist desk for laptop I put together a KALLAX desk for my laptop for just under 25 euros. Just a KALLAX 2×2 is needed.

SKÅDIS: 5 ways to make the IKEA pegboard even better

Amped up KURA bed with drawers and safety rail

We saw other KURA beds with storage drawers underneath on this site. So, we also wanted the same — to make space for LEGO s and wooden trains under the bed. We installed the additional headboard panels because the configuration of the room and the location of the windows in the room meant that we wanted the children’s heads on the right and the ladder on the left. The KURA plans did not seem to allow this configuration, though I have seen online that there are models of this bed from 2003 that allowed more options for setup. Additional safety features Safety rail panel for the lower KURA bed helps our two year old feel secure, as he just transitioned from a crib directly to this bunk. Likewise metal handles on the ladder. They added a lot of confidence for both the five-year-old and the two-year-old when climbing up to the top bunk. We are aware that the bunk is now even higher than before and both children are under 6. Use caution and common sense before making these modifi...
