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.
