Children grow up very quickly and change their interests, therefore, a room for a teenager is much more difficult to arrange than for a baby. Everyone in adolescence wants to make their personal space close to him and often does not agree with the arguments of parents talking about functionality. So, before the repair, you should consider the features of the interior and design of the room for a teenager in order to make it the way it suits both the child and the parents.
Room Creation Criteria
For each teenager, the image of the ideal room is different. Some like cute cozy nests, others want to see high technology and a minimum of furniture, etc. It all depends on the personality of the child. And all the components of the interior of the room for a teenager are involved here, starting from its design, and ending with the layout.
When creating a room, at all stages the opinion of the child himself must be taken into account. Only such an approach will help to create the corner that will be comfortable and comfortable for the teenager. During the repair, you should not clearly follow all his whims, you need to correctly guide them in the right direction so that a functional and beautiful room comes out.
There are several basic criteria for arranging a teenagerās room (see photo in the article below):
- Competent creation of a layout in accordance with the hobbies and preferences of the child. At the same time, it is important to pay special attention to the presence of various additional rooms. For example, the wardrobe suggests that you do not need to put cabinets in the room, which makes it possible to free up space for a recreation area or creativity.
- Accounting for the psychology of color. If the child is easily excitable and active, then for him it is necessary to choose calm and pastel colors in the design of the room, while uncommunicative and quiet children should be surrounded by bright enough colors that stimulate them to be free. This is perfect green, orange or yellow tint.
- Self-expression. A childās room at this age is different in that he himself complements it with elements that reflect his inner world. For example, a wall in posters, an elaborate design chandelier, a collection of something, elements painted in any color. There can be a huge number of options, the main thing in this case is not to overdo it.
- Functionality is in 1st place, therefore, equipping a nursery for a teenager, you should choose furniture that has a maximum of possibilities for use. The practicality of furniture and surface decoration materials is important here. It is advisable to opt for simple forms and natural materials.
Child gender
Each child needs a personal space, which is made out differently for each. Now consider the popular options for the execution of the premises in accordance with the floor.
Room for the girl
Changing various ruffles and princesses, the girlās room is eventually filled with wardrobes and dressing tables with large mirrors. At this age, young ladies begin to monitor themselves more carefully, and also show great interest in cosmetics and outfits. At the same time, the design of the room for a teenage girl must combine the functionality necessary for bringing beauty and games to friends, while at the age of 16 she already needs an adult room that will be close to her in character.
For example, a room for a teenage girl, decorated in beige or white in combination with pink, lilac or purple in small quantities, will give its owner a romantic mood. As a girl grows up, these colors will not strain her. It remains only to change the textiles to fit a young lady.
A room for a teenage girl should be able to change it in accordance with the mood. This can be achieved quickly using panels, drawings, posters and posters placed on the walls. True, itās better not to hang up posters with actors or singers, since they may not like the girl, and after removal, there will be traces in their places. In addition, such design techniques rarely fit into the interior. Organizers will look like posters in the style of the room itself. It is very convenient to exchange pillows on the couch or chair covers for those that are currently needed and the room will immediately take on a completely different sound. In this case, it is better to change the interior of the room to the hostess herself, so that she instills a sense of proportion and good taste.
Room for a boy
Young people are arranged in such a way that they perceive their room in a completely different way than girls. In the corner of the room for a teenage boy, there will be no place for sentimentality and childhood memories, because ahead is an eventful new life. For such a bedroom, a wall with achievements in the form of medals and diplomas, a sports corner, other attributes reflecting a personās hobbies will be suitable elements. To harmoniously create a room design for a teenage boy, it is necessary to take into account some nuances:
- If the boy burns through wood, is engaged in modeling or some other creative activity, you can combine a desk with a place reserved for a hobby. For example, a holder for a soldering iron can be fixed on it, and shelves for models can be placed nearby, while the table itself can be equipped with drawers for storing various accessories.
- In the room for a teenage boy (photo below), a place for sleeping should not occupy a large area. The best option would be an attic bed or a folding bed.
- For original design, you can design one of the walls with photo wallpaper on a topic that interests the child. Such a bright element must necessarily be entered as harmoniously as possible into the atmosphere of the room, complementing it, and not be a separate part.
- As a rule, teenage boys after school love to relax actively. Therefore, it is necessary to establish, of course, if the area allows, compact simulators, as well as buy sports equipment. Other entertainment should not be neglected, including a TV, computer and set-top box.
Room for two teens
Not everyone now has the opportunity to allocate for all the children in the room, therefore, parents solve this problem by placing them in one of both children. At the moment, such facilities for heterosexual or same-sex children in Russia are not uncommon. In this situation, it is necessary to give everyone a personal space, without losing the overall interior.
In case the children are same-sex, it is much easier to create a design. You can simply allocate work and sleeping places for everyone, while the recreation area can remain common. To place things you do not need to install 2 separate cabinets. With this task, and 1 built-in. If the room has a place for a dressing room, this will only be a plus and will provide an opportunity to save valuable meters. In the form of a berth in case the room is small, it is better to put a bunk bed, which greatly simplifies the problem of placing babies to sleep.
In case the children are heterosexual, much more problems arise when creating the interior. In adolescence, children need privacy already in order to be able to keep their secrets to themselves, as well as engage in female or male affairs. You can solve the issue of creating borders in the room by installing tight curtains, screens or shelving that will serve as the border. As children undergo rapid socialization during adolescence, they need to create a common recreation area in which classmates can be accepted.
Here are certain features of the design of the room for children of different sexes:
- Since in any case the room is subject to zoning, part of it will turn out to be poorly lit, which is a negative factor. Therefore, special attention is paid to creating good lighting with a ceiling chandelier, as well as spotlights, floor lamps and wall sconces. An excellent solution would be to install a chandelier with the ability to adjust the light, as well as its settings.
- You can use a neutral color scheme as a design, as well as one that starts playing in contrast, for example, your favorite shades of children.
- For girls and boys, the overall style is limited. They mainly use modern or minimalism, make ethnic styles a little less often, attracting young people with their originality.
Space organization
For a teenagerās room, areas for creativity, relaxation and sleep are considered the minimum components. The decision how to place them in a common room will be the main thing in its design. Consider the features of the layout of all zones.
The bed should not take up much space. This will expand the space for creativity and relaxation. If you look from the back, then the bed may turn out to be the main element of the room, if you put it in the middle. In this matter, it all depends on the relevant conditions and the design project.
Folding sofas are not the best option in a teenager's room. The best choice would be a comfortable bed equipped with an orthopedic mattress that can support the back of a rapidly growing child.
In the first place for a child at this age, study. Most of the time is devoted to it, so the desktop should be placed in front of the window so that the baby can engage in daylight. In addition, it is important to choose the right chair. It should correspond to the height of the teenager. To save money, you can buy furniture that transforms as you grow older.
For each child, the recreation area is different. It depends directly on his interests. If he goes in for sports, a sports corner will not hurt. If he is passionate about music, you can organize something like a stage for performances. The drawing child will be happy with the easel, as well as a corner equipped for the needs of the artist.
Styles of rooms for teenagers
The peculiarity of adolescents is that in girls and boys there is practically no difference in views on the world and hobbies. To be more precise, the preferences of girls quietly and smoothly moved into the sphere of interests of guys. For example, a teenage girl in her room can freely arrange a biker club with the appropriate attributes.

In other words, everything should demonstrate that there is a lover of adventure and wanderings. In particular, in a room, everything can look like things that have been exposed to the scorching sun and the salty sea wind.
