As your children start nearing adulthood, their pastimes and needs start to change dramatically. Once your child gets to their teens, they will have outgrown their room, so you need to carefully plan ahead. You have to be aware that your youngster will have their own opinions on what they want in their room so you should expect some compromises. We are going to look at some of the design and decorating choices for a teenager's bedroom.
The very first decision to be made is to ensure the bedroom your child currently occupies is big enough for a teenager. It could be that you don't have any other choices but if you are able to, a move to a bigger room or extending the current one could be required. The actual style of the space may need to be talked about but painting the walls in a neutral color can be a good idea. Many teens like to put up posters of their favorite pop stars or sports athletes. Added storage space will also need to be taken into consideration since they will be having a lot more clothes and "stuff" in their room.
Like a teenager, your youngster will be spending additional time in the bedroom. As this is a spot where they will want to relax, you really should consider if any extra furniture is required such as a comfy chair or small sofa. It could be that additional lighting is required such as a reading lamp and shelving for books and magazines. The window treatments they had as a younger kid may no longer be suitable and so this also needs to be taken into account when thinking of the overall design and style of the bedroom.
In addition to relaxation, the bedroom gradually more becomes a place for studying and homework. A desk is usually a minimum requirement and with technology playing an expanding role in school work, you will have to think about things such as internet access throughout the house. There is often a demand for additional electrical sockets for computers or desk lamps as well as their own electrical gadgets. Your teenager will likely want to make use of their bedroom as their little fort of solitude. Obtaining a greater bed for your teen is an expensive proposition but with planning, it can be done.
You should do your best to ensure that your teenager's bedroom is a place that they can chill out, study and be productive and a place that they can call their own.
