Children grow up very quickly and change their interests, therefore, a room for a teenager is much more difficult to arrange than for an infant. Everyone in adolescence wants to make their personal space close to him and often disagrees with the arguments of parents talking about functionality. So, before repairing, 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.
Criteria for creating a room
For each teenager, the image of an ideal room is different. Some people 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 a room for a teenager are involved here, starting from its design and ending with the layout.
Creating a room, at all stagesthe opinion of the child must be taken into account. Only such an approach will help create that corner that will be inviting and comfortable for a teenager. During the repair, one should not clearly follow all his whims, you need to correctly direct them in the right direction so that a functional and beautiful room comes out.
There are several basic criteria for arranging a teenager's room (see the photo in the article below):
- Competent creation of a layout in accordance with the hobbies and preferences of the child. It is important to pay special attention to the presence of various additional premises. For example, a dressing room assumes that there is no need to put cabinets in the room, which makes it possible to free up space for a recreation or creativity area.
- Accounting for the psychology of color. If the child is easily excitable and active, then it is necessary for him to select calm and pastel colors in the design of the room, while unsociable and quiet children should be surrounded by bright enough colors that stimulate them to emancipate. A shade of green, orange, or yellow would work well with this.
- Self-expression. The room of a child at this age is different in that he himself supplements it with elements that reflect his inner world. For example, a wall in posters, a frilly designer 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 the 1st place, therefore, when equipping a children's room for a teenager, you should choosefurniture with a maximum of possibilities for application. Here, the practicality of furniture and surface design materials is important. It is advisable to opt for simple shapes and natural materials.
Gender of baby
Each child needs a personal space, which is designed differently for each. Now consider the popular options for the execution of the room in accordance with the floor.
Girl's room
Changing various frills and princesses, the girl's room eventually fills with wardrobes and dressing tables with large mirrors. At this age, young ladies begin to take care of themselves more carefully, and also show a great interest in cosmetics and outfits. At the same time, the design of a room for a teenage girl should combine the functionality necessary for bringing beauty and playing with 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 the girl grows older, these colors will not strain her. It remains only to change the textiles to fit for a young lady.
A teenage girl's room should be able to change it according to the mood. This can be achieved in quick ways using panels, drawings, posters and posters placed on the walls. True, better posters with actors ordo not hang the singers, because the girl may not like them, and after removing them, there will be traces in their places. In addition, such design techniques rarely fit into the interior. Posters in the style of the room itself will look organic. It is very convenient to change the pillows on the sofa or the covers on the chairs for those that are currently needed and the room will immediately take on a completely different sound. At the same time, it is better to leave the hostess herself to change the interior of the room in order to instill a sense of proportion and good taste in her.
Boy's room
Young people are arranged in such a way that they perceive their room in a completely different way than girls. There will be no place for sentimentality and childhood memories in the corner of the room for a teenage boy, as an eventful new life lies ahead. For such a bedroom, a wall with achievements in the form of medals and diplomas, a sports corner, and other attributes that reflect a person’s hobbies will become suitable elements. To harmoniously create a room design for a teenage boy, you need to take into account some nuances:
- If the boy is wood burning, modeling or some other creative activity, you can combine the desk with a place reserved for hobbies. For example, you can fix a holder for a soldering iron on it, as well as place shelves for models nearby, while the table itself can be equipped with drawers for storing various accessories.
- In the room for a teenage boy (photo below) placefor sleeping a large area should not occupy. The best option would be a loft or folding bed.
- For the originality of the design, you can decorate one of the walls with photo wallpapers on a topic that interests the child. Such a bright element must be inscribed as harmoniously as possible into the atmosphere of the room, complementing it, and not being a separate part.
- As a rule, teenage boys like to relax actively after school. Therefore, you should install, 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.
A room for two teenagers
Not everyone now has the opportunity to allocate a room for all children, therefore, parents solve this problem by placing both children in one. At the moment, such facilities for children of different sexes or same-sex children in Russia are not uncommon. In this situation, it is necessary to allocate personal space to everyone, without losing the overall interior.
In case the children are same-sex, it is much easier to design. You can simply allocate a working and sleeping place for everyone, while the recreation area can remain common. To accommodate things, you do not need to install 2 separate cabinets. 1 built-in will cope with this task. If the room provides a place for a dressing room, this will only be a plus and will save valuable meters. In the form of a sleeper in case,if the room is small, it is better to put a bunk bed, which greatly simplifies the problem of placing babies to sleep.
If the children are of different sexes, there are many more problems when creating the interior. In adolescence, children already need privacy in order to be able to keep their secrets to themselves, as well as to engage in women's or men's affairs. You can solve the issue of creating boundaries in the room by installing thick curtains, screens or shelving that will serve as a boundary. As children undergo rapid socialization during adolescence, they need to create a common recreation area in which to receive classmates.
Here are some features of the design of the room for children of different sexes:
- Since in any case the room is zoned, part of it will 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 to play in contrast, for example, children's favorite shades.
- For a girl and a boy, the overall style is limited. They mainly use modern or minimalism, a little less often they make ethnic styles that attract young people with their originality.
Space organization
For a teenager's room with minimal componentsareas for creativity, relaxation and sleep are considered. The decision how to place them in the common room will be the main one 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 side, then the bed can be the main element of the room, if it is placed in the middle. In this matter, everything depends on the relevant conditions and the design project.
Roll-out 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 her, so the desktop should be placed opposite the window so that the baby can practice in daylight. In addition, it is important to choose the right chair. It should match the height of the teenager in height. To save money, you can buy furniture that transforms as you grow up.
For each child, the recreation area is different. It depends directly on his interests. In case he goes in for sports, a sports corner will not interfere. If he is passionate about music, you can organize something like a stage for performances. A drawing child will be happy with an easel, as well as a corner equipped for the needs of the artist.
Teen Room Styles
The peculiarity of adolescents is that girls and boys have a difference inviews on the world and hobbies are practically not observed. To be more precise, the preferences of girls imperceptibly 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 appropriate paraphernalia.
Fortunately, the boys were not affected by such a metamorphosis. Therefore, further we will talk about the styles of teenagers' rooms, photos of which can be viewed in this article, which are characteristic of two sexes. It should be noted that there is one feature. If in the bedroom of adults you can see some design style for certain elements, then the teenage room may not have it.
The reason is that the elements of self-expression of a teenager can come to the fore, hide signs of some kind of design style. We are living witnesses of the birth of various youth movements. Although in this situation, designers and psychologists advise not to remain an indifferent witness to what is happening in the child’s room, but to delicately move into the category of an accomplice in order to help him design the design correctly with his advice. And we will help you by talking about the most common styles of youth fashion.
Music style

Therefore, often a teenager's room is characterized by a musical style. Its useful to note,that it is very easy to design. The child can make its individual elements with his own hands. Although designers talk about the pitfall that exists in this style. This is the inconsistency in the hobbies of the child.
With this in mind, you should design in a mobile version - music-themed photo wallpapers or wall paintings should be avoided. Otherwise, your child's addictions will come at a cost. Find options when it will be possible to change elements of musical style overnight with minimal cost.
Sport style
Basically, children gravitate towards him, who are just into sports. True, often this hobby does not go beyond a tennis racket, a soccer ball in the corner and photos of sports idols posted on the wall of a teenager's room.
Of course, the child's room should have its own sports corner. At the same time, his equipment will tell about his hobbies.
Marine style
This style will not necessarily be in the young "sea wolf". In most cases, they gravitate towards it due to the color scheme that is characteristic of this style. Of course, there should be a blue color, as well as its shades. In addition, the room will contain exotic plants, seascapes, various souvenirs that were brought from other countries or regions. In other words, everything should demonstrate that a lover of adventure and wandering lives here. In particular, everything in the room can look like things that have been exposed to the scorching sun and the s alty sea wind.
Of course, these styles of designThe teenager's room is not limited, nor is the child's imagination. The presented styles will help you choose the right direction with him in the implementation of certain of his hobbies and fantasies.

You need to understand that only with common work will a room come out that will delight the teenager and reassure parents who are worried about the rationality and practicality of the space.
