When choosing the bedroom furniture
for your teen, you must remember
that this a transitional phase, the
actions figures and dolls are all
ready to be replaced by the Play
stations and stacks of Fashion
magazines. You need to pick out
pieces that will last them all the
way to their late teens. Youth
bedroom furniture includes bunks
bends, loft beds, panel beds,
dressers, mirrors, nightstands,
chests and much more.
A good approach to decorating your
teen's bedroom is to go for a theme,
something that would reflect your
child’s likes and passions. Remember,
your definition of cool and your teen’s
definition of cool are very different.
Taking his/her feedback is of extreme
importance, after all it’s their space
and it should be in sync with their
character and traits.
You can go for a tropical theme for
your peppy cheerleader teenage daughter
or a room full of gadgets and Wi-Fi
connectivity for your tech savvy teenage
boy. Upon choosing the furniture one
should coordinate with the theme chosen.
Let’s say for example if you have done
the walls in pink or peach, opting for
white wood furniture would be a good
choice. Or if your boy is into music, so
go for a Rock star theme with media
benches, posters and graffiti on the
walls.
There is range of designs that you can
choose from Wood to Wrought iron, from
Formica to Steel. Numerous
configurations are available for the
youth today, the latest youth bed design
combines elements of a bunk bed, desk
and storage chest in one space saving
unit called a "Loft Bed". Storage and
pull-out trundle units are also
frequently available to fit under the
bed.
The walls, furniture and the
accessories will have to be according to
the theme you pick. For boys, vintage
sports are always a safe play or perhaps
for your aspiring engineer a
personalized work bench. If your boy has
a favorite team from a certain sport,
consider decorating the bedroom using
items for that team for instance, you
can get the bed and the nightstands
painted in bright red for Liverpool
fans. You can provide storage in the
form of decorative boxes in the shape of
football or a baseball, adding shelves
to the walls and fill the shelves with
items that coordinate with the theme.
For girls, opting for softer tones on
the walls is usually a good idea, adding
accents of pink, purple, peach and blush
red. You can paint shelves in pretty
colors, hooks for hanging necklaces and
belts and can even use a coat rack to
hang bags. Go for a long stand floor
lamp with a crazy brightly colored lamp
shade or paper lanterns to perk up the
bedroom. Set up a bulletin board above
the study desk where one can post
assignments, notes from friends, and
photographs or awards. Drape twinkle
lights over bookshelves or around the
desk for a festive look to liven up
studying. For a study break or lounge
area in a corner in the room, use
brightly colored throw pillows and
beanbag chairs or love seats.
Using these ideas and furniture
pieces, you can easily transform the
bedroom from a baby corner to a youth
hang out. So, what are you waiting for,
select the perfect pieces today and give
a youth bedroom full make over.
