Individuals as parents strive to provide their kids with the best possible opportunities, safe environment and secure lifestyle. As the generations are progressing, the demands and needs for the kids are also changing rapidly. It has created an increased tension and challenges for the parents who want to connect with their children.

A room is a safest space for any human being. It’s a place where they can wind down, be guard-less and vulnerable in without the fear and threat of being judged by others. It is a place to connect with their inner selves and be their true self. 

Many first time parents face themselves at loggerheads over decorating their kid’s room especially the toddler and teenage kids; who carry a whole lot of personality and attitudes in their little bodies. Whether they will appreciate the effort and work their parents put into the project or will they just outright dislike their taste, who knows? 

Well if you are also one of those parents, who wants to decorate a nice room for their offspring’s but is hesitant about what steps to take, this blog is for you. So tag along and start taking notes.

How to decorate a room for your teenage kid:

1. Engage Your Teen in the Design Process:

• Talk about their interests: Discuss their favourite colours, styles, and what makes them feel comfortable. How they feel about certain accessories and settings?
  
  
• Show them design examples: Gather inspiration from magazines, Pinterest, websites, or even their friends' rooms.
  
  
• Collaborate on a theme: Choose a theme that resonates with them and allows them to express their individuality. Discuss the base colours, wall art, wallpaper etc.
  
  

2. Functional Design:

• Storage:

Teenagers need ample storage for clothing, books, and personal items. Consider built-in shelving, dressers, or under-bed storage. Also include some organisers and baskets to help them keep their stuff in an organised manner.

• Study Area:

Ensure there's a designated space for homework and studying, whether it's a separate desk or a corner with a chair. The desk should have a separate light fixture and be adjustable because kids height grows after every few days.

• Chill-out Zone:

Create a comfortable area for relaxing, like a reading nook with a beanbag or a corner with a cozy chair. 

Many would recommend buying a bean bag from local market because they are inexpensive while others would advice you to go for brands like CordaRoy’s’s because they are not just any ordinary bean bags. 

Their bean bags are made up of premium grade foam and high quality vegan leather to ensure the silky smooth skin. It doesn’t contain the weird smell due to the usage of low quality materials that produce Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which is extremely toxic. 

Their bean bags don’t flatten out with weight or time. And they also provide waterproof bean bags to avoid the growth of mood and bacteria due to moisture, pets or food spills. 

Additionally, these bean bag chairs are not just any bean bags. They are the foldable beds for the days when your kid has a friend staying over for the night. They will just have to unzip it, flip it and lay down.

3. Color Palette and Decor:

Cohesive Colours:

• Choose a color palette that complements their interests and creates a harmonious look.
  
  
• Artwork and Wall Decor:
  
  

Use artwork, posters, or a gallery wall to showcase their personality and interests. 

• Comfortable Bedding:
  
  

Invest in comfortable bedding with a mix of decorative pillows and throws.

• Textured Decor:
  
  

Incorporate textured elements like rugs, throws, and curtains to add visual interest and warmth.

4. Lighting:

• Adjustable Lighting:
  
  

Consider adjustable lighting options to set the mood for different activities, like studying or relaxing.

• Accent Lighting:
  
  

Add accent lighting, such as string lights or table lamps, to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
