Teen room decor decisions will vary depending on the teen in question, but there are a number of different ideas you can explore, which will hopefully produce for your teen a room they can enjoy, and for you, something you may not find appealing, but can certainly approve of.

Try a heather blue or a silvery pink on the walls if those colors appeal to her. Then paint the trim in a darker shade of the same color with a high gloss enamel. Flea markets and small boutiques often have vintage inspired and unsual items for accessories.

Then cover the walls with original works of art or posters of their choice, and accessorize with large floor pillows/chairs in bold geometric patterns or fuzzy fur fabrics. You can accessorize the bed with beautiful, large pillows and a funky embellished lampshade on the nightstand. Soft and fuzzy shapless chairs, as well as fluffy area rugs made of different geometrical shapes, and patterns can round out the room nicely.

For starters, try replacing the ruffles and lace with velvet or satin fabrics, and add her favorite bright colors for accessory pieces. Animal prints are popular with teenagers and come in a wide variety of textures, colors and prints. Purple zebra, fuzzy oranges, black and white zebra, leopard and tiger just to name a few. Or go for a brighter palette of colors, such as shades of orange, green, yellow, and blue.

If this teen room decor is what interests your child, a good idea is to paint the wall a deep or vibrant color, such as purple or blue (or the color choice of your teen), and then use light colored furniture such as white, to accent the walls.

As far as wall art is concerned for the trendy teen, walls murals in sports themes, surfing tropical themes, snowboarding or scoreboards are a good choice. Shelving in basketball, baseball or football are perfect for displaying trophies.

When it comes to being thematic, it is best to go with the flow and decorate the room according to the topic of interest. For instance, if your child’s teen room decor is a based on a surf theme, you could paint the walls ocean blue, and cover the walls with surf and surfer murals. You can obtain bedding that has surfers or tropical sunsets. Denim is also a popular choice for teenage boys or picking a solid color keeps it simple.

When considering your teen room decor options, remember to dedicate a portion of their room for their studies. Every teen has different study methods and there many types of desk options.
