Five teenage bedroom design ideas

Time for your teenager to get their own space? Designing a cool hangout does wonders for their independence and allows them to express their personality.

Teens need a peaceful retreat that reflects their interests, which, as you know, are subject to change as they age! You need to incorporate versatile elements that can be swapped out or adapted as their tastes evolve.

Creating a teenage bedroom with these design ideas can help you curate a space that flows with the rest of your household while also having a sense of separation for your teen.

Converted loft

If your budget allows for a loft conversion, go for it! It's the ultimate private escape for your child, giving them a sense of independence that teenagers crave. Allowing them to have a space where they're unsupervised shows you trust them to manage their own room and fosters a sense of responsibility.

The extra square footage allows you to design a functional and stylish environment that meets every need. Think cosy sleeping quarters, a dedicated study area and a chill-out zone for when their friends come to visit.

Black and white

Hear us out. Black on its own can be overbearing and dark but a monochrome palette provides a blank canvas for teens to decorate. They can display their artwork, accessorise with soft furnishings and display personal ornaments. Against black and white, bold colours pop and look even more dynamic!

Balance the light and dark elements, using white walls to create a spacious feel and black accents like bedding, rugs or wall art to add depth. Introduce light and an airy feel to darker-themed bedrooms by strategically placing mirrors.

Don't be afraid to mix the shades together with black-and-white patterns to really give off a cohesive, modern aesthetic.

Clever storage

Teens aren't often the tidiest, but you can make things easier for them by incorporating smart storage solutions into your bedroom designs. In small teenage rooms, a fitted floor-to-ceiling wardrobe can make all the difference. It gives every belonging a home, preventing shoes and other clothes from ending up strewn all over the floor.

You can optimise storage potential further by adding a raised bed with space below. This becomes the perfect nook to install a desk and chair or shelves to display personal items. Don't underestimate the power of storage bins or baskets to tuck away seasonal clothes or other items under here either.

Wall stickers

You can future-proof your teen's bedroom décor by using trendy wall stickers. This inexpensive décor is ideal for brightening neutral walls and wardrobes. You can take them off as easily as they go on, so you won't have to repaint the walls every time your teenager tires of the look.

Your child's interests can influence design ideas for their space. Guys might love a bedroom decked out with graffiti or gaming prints, while teenage girls can express themselves with location-themed or retro stickers.

Walls in crisp shades of white or grey give your teen the perfect base to start sticking.

Add zones

Teens need a space that facilitates their needs, from socialising and lounging to studying. This can be hard to achieve when space is at a premium, so adding zones to your designs can help.

Creating distinct spaces for each teenage pastime can make the most of small bedroom layouts and give each area a sense of purpose. Separate hangouts from study zones using accent walls in different colours or rugs. Shelving can also subtly define different spaces, while curtains and screens create a sense of privacy for teens sharing a bedroom.

Loft beds free floor space for desks and seating, also keeping the study area out of sight while your teenager relaxes.
