Teenage Girls Bedroom Design
Teenage girls bedroom design plans can be a hodgepodge of little girl accents mixed with adult accessories.
Teen girls can be vague about their bedroom designs so you should take the time to go through some design magazines and books to try to nail down a look that you can both live with.
Some teenage girls have very definite ideas about color or themes. Maybe she loves horses, so you might want to design a bedroom with horse accents and southwestern bedding and décor to pull it all together. If it's color she wants (and doesn't every teenage girl love purple?) then give the room an exotic look with colorful gypsy bedding. You can accent with purple walls and gold exotic accessories.
Some popular teenage girl bedroom designs are very modern or even retro modern. Sleek clean lines are the way to go in any modern or contemporary design. All white with splashes of bold color make for a mid century modern look - accent with space related accessories and you'll have a look straight from the 60's which is very popular in design magazines today. A retro 70's look can be cute in a girls bedroom design – oversized stylized flowers and bright oranges, reds and yellows can give her room a unique look.
When selecting furniture to complete your teen girls bedroom design keep the future in mind. Your teenager will eventually go off to college and move out entirely. Will you be giving the furniture with her to take or keeping it to use in your new guest bedroom? Either way, you want to pick furniture that is durable and will last the test of time with a style that can be functional for many different bedroom designs. Think about what kind of a room you want the furniture to be in when she leaves and pick something that goes with both.
When designing a bedroom for any teen girl, no matter what theme you pick you should consider the following:
Wall coverings
Flooring
Curtains
Bedding
Lighting
Wall art
Accents
Decide ahead of time if you will be painting or wallpapering and if you need to install additional electrical outlets. If you will be replacing a wall to wall rug or refinishing hardwood floors, plan that for when the room is empty (between the old furniture going out and new furniture coming in). Use color swatches to make sure your bedding, walls, flooring and wall art match and compliment each other. Use accents to draw out some of the great colors in your bedding or that beautiful rug.
One of the most important things in a teenage girls bedroom design is storage. Teens have lots of books, cd, and gadgets that need to be stored. Make sure you plan in plenty of book shelves and cubby and think about updating their bedroom closet design so that it is more efficient.
Once you have decided on your bedroom design, go about implementing it in an organized and planned manner and you will find that things go much more smoothly.
