Teenagers yearn for
freedom and need more space. Individuality, expressing
themselves and making their own decisions are some of
the topmost priorities in this rebellious period of
life. They are difficult to please too.
Here are some tips to really make teenager thankful
for having such a wonderful room and the world's most caring
parents:
Inexpensive accessories are the best way to
funk up the room such as decorative pillows, throws, rugs,
lamps, photo frames and wall hangings.
Bulletin board and clip frames to create the
collage of your favorite photos, magazine cutouts and posters
are must for teenagers for their hero-worship.
Special creative ideas such as group of
masks, cross-swords, hunter's knife, leather whips, decorative
shields or plates can also be used as innovation.
Trendy study-lamps and lampshades and
overhead retro paper lanterns that come in various designs to
suit the personality of your teenager's nature will encourage
them to study more and more.
Round-cushioned comfy chairs with a wicker
bottom can be used for a mix-and-match color scheme and to
store them in corner of the room by arranging them one on top
of the other to gain more space.
Fold-up papasan chair is a favorite too.
Extra seating for friends coming over for
studying or watching movie can always be managed with big,
oversized pillows and a big comfy beanbag.
Teenagers sharing room with their siblings
will appreciate privacy by hanging beaded curtains or a canopy
bed.
Storage area to keep their accessories such
as toiletries, hair styling products, compact disks, dirty
clothes and magazines in the form of stacking baskets, trunks
and dressers are always needed.
Functional furniture pieces with hidden
storage space are the most appreciated ones.
A desk complete with a personal computer and
a comfy yet ergonomically sound chair will help your teens to
study and chat for long time without the backaches.
Extra storage options in the bathroom to keep
all those recently acquired grooming products such as
hair-gels and body glitter, is an essential too.
Cordless phones in trendy designs and bold
colors for those long late-night talks are the first love of
all teenagers.
A private living room space can be provided
by placing a sofa or an extra-long loveseat, which can double
up as a bed for a friend that can be folded or deflated might
be an option too.
If your teen loves that harsh loud music,
ample use of fabric and carpet can absorb some of the sound.
You may also soundproof their room, so that you can sleep
better.
