Bedroom for a teenager

Adolescence is considered the most difficult stage in the process of personal development. Even yesterday's child begins to look for himself, sometimes to challenge parental authority and to re-evaluate values. At the forefront of communication with their peers. It is in society that a teenager is trying to establish himself, as a person, and form an adult self-consciousness. The most difficult manifestation of adolescence becomes youthful maximalism. The child ceases to make compromises, divides the world only into black and white without half tones, becomes straightforward, and rushes to conclusions. Parents often become his “personal enemies” because of the clash of generations, the so-called conflict of fathers and children. The atmosphere of the house is heating up, the feeling of comfort is lost. It is imperative that the child’s room becomes “his fortress”, where he will feel at ease. The bedroom design for a teenager should not only be organically combined with the design of the other rooms of the apartment or house, but also appeal to the occupant of this room.

Features of the room layout for a teenager

Changing the children's situation to a teen should take place when the child turns 13-14 years old. Although modern generations grow up earlier and the period of maximalism in some comes as early as 11-12 years. The bedroom of the child should not be solid or boring. Before changing something, parents should pay attention to what their child is interested in. In his room a teenager should have the opportunity for self-expression, which he will carry out in any case, if not at home, so on the street. If parents do not want their child to constantly disappear in "bad companies", they should reckon with his tastes, forgetting about their preferences. If you make a room solely at your own will, then it will be acutely perceived by a teenager as a reason for protest. Psychologists recommend in this case to consult with the little tenant in everything, to give him the opportunity to independently choose the stylistic direction of the interior, the furniture set, and to add his favorite colors to the color palette.

To make the girl feel involved in the design process, it is possible to sew curtains or pillowcases for pillows, a patchwork quilt. A teenage boy will be interested to make his own shelving or chairs with his own hands. Being directly involved in the decoration process will help the child get better at his new room and will build trust between him and his parents. You can not impose your opinion, no matter how correct it is, when choosing finishes or features lighting. If a teenager insists on a tasteless decision, he should be supported in this. Let him be convinced in practice of the incorrectness of his judgments and draw conclusions that parental support will always accompany him.

Room zoning

In the teenage room the number of functional zones is preserved from the nursery. The room must be present:

• Workplace for study.
• Playground for games and entertainment.
• Corner for creativity and hobby.
• A bed that can be combined with a passive rest area.

If the dimensions of the room, for example, in Khrushchev leave much to be desired, then some areas of similar functionality will have to be compactly combined into one whole. In this case, zoning is carried out only conditionally or conditionally-actual. You can separate the site curtains, mobile screens, sliding doors of frosted glass. Also, zoning is carried out conditionally with the help of light, color combinations, combinations of various textures of finishing materials, paired decor elements. In spacious rooms, when the bedroom for a child is located in a private house and occupies, for example, the entire attic, it is better to use furniture, fake walls, arched vaults or static partitions.

Stylistic direction

Do not be mistaken that only modern, progressive styles are suitable for teenagers. Any direction can be adapted to the taste preferences of the small occupant of the room. Among the most successful options, designers note:

• Loft. The direction will be appreciated by young men. The interior, made in the style of a loft, has a touch of chic. The rooms use a sophisticated lighting system in which special attention is paid to decorative light. The furnishing combines old elements and ultra-modern details. High ceilings are decorated with communication systems. The brickwork on the accent wall will emphasize the modern style. In shades prevails brown, black, white and gray. Although the loft belongs to respectable styles, it will appeal to young rebels.

• Classic style. It is more suitable for girls. In order to emphasize the charm of the interior in colors, they use white and shades of pink, thus moving away from the canonical brown, which the child may find too boring. The furniture is made of wood, and expensive fabrics with luxurious patterns prevail in textiles.

• High tech. Universal style that will appeal to both girls and boys. The abundance of white and gray will make the room brighter and more spacious. Chrome-plated surfaces and glass emphasize the "cold" elegance of the techno-style.

• Minimalism. In the decoration they use only light shades, and in the colors of furniture and decor - discreet, contrasting colors. The style is ideal for small rooms, as it visually enlarges them by a couple of meters and creates the illusion of freedom. The direction of adolescents will like the fact that the time to clean the room with a small amount of furniture and things will be minimized.

• Provence. Soft, warm, elegant direction suitable for girls. In Provence using pastel shades, wood, aged furniture. The decoration used wallpaper in small flowers, which are in harmony with lace and lace.

• Scandinavian style. The main concept of the direction is spatial freedom and an abundance of light. The harsh northern climate is reflected in the interior: the “snow-covered” white finish is combined with rare green needles and blue shades of ice.

• American style. Although the direction is in many ways similar to the classics, its concept is more democratic. Monoton furniture upholstery of light shades is combined with motley textile decor, decorated with geometric patterns. The floor is trimmed with wood, and the walls are conservative plaster. Groups of paintings on the walls, classic lamps, mirrors, pillows on a sleeping place can act as a decor. The combination of several zones in one room is characteristic for the American style, so in the teenage bedroom it will look appropriate and organic.

• Avant-garde The direction is considered a symbol of youth and rebellious spirit. For the avant-garde is characterized by the use of non-traditional finishing materials (mainly plastic), which allows significant savings. In the bright interior, the emphasis is on geometry. Triangles, circles, squares are present in the forms of chairs, coffee tables, decor, textiles and photo wallpapers. A stylish addition to the interior will be groups of lamps of non-ordinary forms, bright posters, two-color contrast curtains.

It also combines well with the teenage rooms marine style and eco-direction. In the second case, parents can unobtrusively teach the child to appreciate nature and take care of his health by surrounding him with exclusively natural materials.

Color spectrum

In the color palette should choose a middle ground. In the basis it is better to use neutral, calm shades: white, gray, peach, blue, yellow. The choice of accent tones can be trusted with a teenager. Green, purple, blue, lilac, coral, red, cherry, mint, mustard can play their roles. Teens love brightness. Conservative parents are not always able to understand such taste preferences, but the choice of the combination concept remains with them. The best option is considered to be a trio from a combination of a light background, a hint similar in spirit and bright, contrasting tones in the decor.

Materials and methods of finishing

In the decoration of the walls is better to give preference to the traditional version - wallpaper. The hue and nature of the picture are discussed with the child.

If a conflict of tastes is brewing, then the parents can choose the main covering, and the design of the accent wall with photo wallpapers with the original image is left to the teenager.

The ceiling can be made drywall or tension, it will fit any stylistic direction. In the first case, such a design move will create a complex lighting system. It is not recommended to use a frame construction, sheathed with plasterboard in rooms with low ceilings. The flooring is selected in accordance with the stylistic decision. For Provence, classic, avant-garde parquet suitable. In Scandinavian, American and modern styles use laminate. If a teenager is fond of sports or is too active, then you can cover the floor with a carpet that will soften the blows and help to avoid conflicts with the neighbors below.

Choice of furniture

For small rooms, the furniture set should be chosen based on ergonomics and multifunctionality. Standard elements for a teenage bedroom will be a bed, a wardrobe, an armchair or chair and a desk. The size of the storage system will depend on the wealth of the child’s wardrobe. If there is a lot of things, then it is better to buy a built-in wardrobe, custom-made. Its design will save space, but it will give you the opportunity to equip a real dressing room in the room. The workplace can be combined with the bedroom, if you purchase a special kit. In it, the bed is located on the second tier, and a table with a chair is placed under it. The original option will be paired shelving with books and textbooks, installed on both sides of the bed.

Decor and textiles

Decorating a teenage bedroom includes the selection of ceiling lighting for lighting devices, chandeliers, curtains, pads, carpets and paintings, photographs. In order to care about the health of the child, textiles should be selected from natural: cotton, linen, silk, chintz. Synthetics will quickly become worthless. If the teenager is keen on music, then the guitar or drum set can also become part of the decor. Young scientists will appreciate the large slate. By the way, it can be placed on the accent wall at the head of the bed. A geographical map of the world will help in your studies and will become a unique decoration of the room. If a teenager is fond of classical literature, then the wall is decorated with its old version with “charred” edges and scuffs. Future entomologists will like the option of placing on the wall their collection of dried insects placed in frames. The decor can be carefully combined with the child’s hobby, which will only stimulate him for new discoveries in his favorite activity.

Bedroom for teen boy

Boys always have specific hobbies. The most popular include:

• Warfare.
• Sports activities.
• Computer games.
• "Male" science (physics, chemistry).
• Ship case
• Cinema and music.

For a full-fledged rest, the young youth needs to allocate a separate zone, where he can quietly be able to do what he likes. If parents listen to the interests of the child, help in the implementation of the tasks, then a difficult period of growing up will not be so violent.

Bedroom for teen girl

For girls, you must create a luxurious wardrobe. A set of dresses, trousers, blouses and skirts is best placed in the dressing room. A young fashionista will like a separate room, intended only for clothes. Among the standard hobbies for girls note:

• Needlework (embroidery, knitting, sewing).
• Cooking.
• Music and movies.
• Design.
• Drawing or sculpture.
• Soap making, making candles.
• Making dolls.
• Sport (yoga, fitness, pilates).

In the teenage girl's room there should be a separate corner for this hobby. For small rooms, a compact workshop hidden in a false cabinet will be salvation.

Do not forget about the dressing table or a small dresser with a mirror and a chair, as any girl (even the smallest) always takes care of her appearance.

Bedroom for two teenagers

If paired sets of beds and workplaces are placed in the children's room, then in the room where two teenagers live, the principle of identity does not work anymore. Each child should have a personal space where he will be engaged in his hobby. If the room is small, then the bed is made out in the form of a bunk bed, and two workplaces are combined into one long table. The cabinet can be divided into a partition between the shelves. If a girl and a boy live in a room, then she will have to be zoned. The best option would be a wall of frosted glass, a wardrobe or a rack with books. To preserve the unity of the composition, each zone is arranged thematically, but within the same style.

Conclusion

Properly chosen teen room design can make a big contribution to the relationship between the child and the parents. If you listen to the opinion of the children and allow them to make their own choices, they will feel that their interests and tastes are respected and treated as an adult. If the teenager will be comfortable and cozy at home, then the period of the formation of the personality will go more smoothly. He will not seek adventure on the street or in dubious companies, when in his room he is waiting for his own world, where you can safely engage in hobbies, study or just relax with friends who are not ashamed to bring guests.
