Room design for a teenage girl - how to design a nursery

A modern room for a teenage girl should not only be beautiful, but also functional. Parents need to help their daughter choose, and she has the final say in design.

When a girl grows up, she no longer likes a cozy room with childish wallpaper and decorated with teddy bears.

Important: The room for a girl who is already 14 or 15 years old becomes her personal space. She wants to arrange it according to her taste preferences.

Parents must be patient and have a sense of tact, listening to their daughter's wishes. She herself will be able to choose furniture, wallpaper, curtains, and mom and dad will only tell her how to arrange everything and install it correctly.

Important: You should choose furniture of good quality and safe for health. Although the girl is already as tall as an adult, she is still a child.

Cabinets, cabinets and tables must withstand the pranks of teenagers so that games do not lead to injury. It’s worth thinking through everything down to the smallest detail, because rooms for children are usually small, especially in old buildings.

Room design for a girl

Advice: For a grown-up young lady, it is important that the living space be spacious. Therefore, try to use mobile furniture that can be easily moved to another place or used as desired.

If you don’t want to buy a new cabinet or table, since the old ones are still in good condition, then take the interior items that are cluttering up the space into the corridor or another room
Thanks to this, you will free up the room, and the girl will be able to invite friends to visit her.
The design of a girl’s room should be thought out in advance, so that later you don’t have to finish or redo it
If there are racks with things under the ceiling, then provide a special decorative ladder so that the girl can independently get everything she needs

Tip: Choose textiles from natural fabrics. The color will depend on the overall interior design of the room.

If the walls are bright, then the curtains are chosen in soothing colors, and vice versa, if the walls are made in pastel colors, then the curtains can be made the “highlight” of the room.

Dividing a girl's room into zones

Here we will separately look at several areas that should be in a teenage girl’s room.

Workplace

Schoolchildren spend a lot of time sitting at their desks during lessons, and at home they again need to sit at the table and do homework. Since the spine and posture are formed during adolescence, it is important to choose the correct height of the table and chair so that the child sits correctly:

It is better to install a chair with adjustable seat height and backrest tilt.
The table should be large enough to have enough space for notebooks with textbooks and for the correct position of hands when writing.

Another very important point is lighting. Many people experience poor vision precisely because of improper lighting in the workplace. It is best to place a table near a window; if this is not possible, compensate for this with a good table lamp with a bulb that is correctly selected in terms of brightness.

The last tip for arranging a workplace has nothing to do with the child’s physical health, but it does affect his psychological state, mood, and therefore his desire to learn and complete tasks. This refers to the appearance of the workplace. It shouldn’t be too bright and colorful, but it shouldn’t be gloomy either, because despondency is not the best incentive to learn. You can hang beautiful pictures or photographs on the wall near the table, place a small plant next to it, pick up original pencil stands and stationery, etc.

Sleeping place in the nursery

It has already been mentioned here about the importance of a high-quality mattress so that the spine is in the correct position during sleep, and the sleep is sound and healthy. In addition to the mattress, pay attention to the pillows: their fillings and size. The bed can be either a single or double bed, depending on the teenager's choice.

Near the bed you can put:

a small nightstand, convenient for placing a glass of water, an alarm clock,
and other small things that may be needed.
You can also put a lamp (how to do it - tutorial here) if the girl likes to read before bed.

We also recommend establishing the following rule: the workplace is separated from the sleeping area. This means that a teenager should not take a laptop or textbooks to bed (with the exception of watching a movie, for example). Firstly, if you sit at a laptop or textbooks on the bed, you develop incorrect posture, and secondly, the bed will not be a full-fledged resting place.

Regarding the design, choose beautiful bedding in colors that are not irritating to the eyes, so that the girl can calm down before bed. Decorative pillows and pillowcases and blankets are a matter of a girl’s taste.

Teens room walls

Walls of a teenager's room
Older girls are no longer interested in pictures and posters with cartoon characters. All this is replaced by clippings from magazines depicting singers, actors and other idols.

In the girl’s room, everything should correspond to the owner’s hobbies, because her individual and creative abilities will manifest themselves.

Tip: If a girl likes bright walls, don’t interfere with her choice. Decorate the room in red, green or purple tones. This will stimulate the girl to do creative work.

The walls of a teenager’s room can be decorated with original panels, photographs of the owner, paintings and bright posters. All elements must be combined with each other and look harmonious in the overall design of the room.

Important: Creative teenagers will appreciate having a stylish mood board in their room. This is a board on which photographs, magazine clippings and postcards are attached.

Remember: Not all girls like doll-like furnishings in their living space: pink walls, soft-colored curtains, ruffles and flowers.

Find out about your daughter's preferences and choose renovation materials, textiles and furniture in the style she prefers.

Furniture for a teenager's room

When decorating a room for a grown-up beauty, its decorative component is important. But functionality comes first. This is especially true for furniture for a teenager’s room.
A comfortable table should be installed in the teenager’s personal space, at which the girl will study. To do this, it is better to choose a place near a window.
On the wall near the desktop it is necessary to place shelves in the form of modern racks for notebooks, textbooks and stationery

Important: If your daughter has creative abilities, for example, is interested in drawing, then you need to add another table to the room. On it she will make sketches, lay out finished works and paintings.

In a teenager's room, you need to provide a large number of places to store clothes and other things. For this purpose, hidden modular drawers, modern cabinets, chests of drawers and cabinets are used.

Zoning the space

Please note that the practicality of a room for a teenage girl lies not only in the characteristics of the selected furniture. It is also extremely important to place it correctly . Typically, such a room is divided into several separate zones intended for different purposes, because for a teenage girl this is the place in which a variety of events can take place.

Most often, such premises are divided into the following zones:

place to sleep;
work or study area;
rest zone;
wardrobe;
self-care area;
hobby area.

Some zones can be combined : it all depends on your imagination and the capabilities of your room.

Please note that depending on the functions performed, each zone has its own design features .

The sleeping area is the place where all conditions for a restful sleep must be met. In this area you need to place a bed, a bedside table or a small table, and a lamp.

It is possible that sometimes your daughter may have friends over, so think in advance where you will place them. For these purposes, a folding sofa or a bed as large as possible is perfect, then the girls will have the opportunity to talk secretly before going to bed.

For the sleeping area, it is undesirable to use too bright or dark shades: the colors you use should calm the nervous system and promote relaxation. The same goes for the brightness of the light.

The work area should provide space for studying: this could be a large desk or a small computer table.

The main quality in this case is its functionality : it should contain as many departments and drawers as possible, as well as enough space to accommodate a computer or laptop.

Plan the use of the surface in such a way that it is convenient for your daughter to read or write. It is also necessary to allocate space for speakers, a printer, scanner or other devices. It is very important to place a bright lamp in this area, and also to think about what height and size of the chair will be most optimal.

Above the table you can place bookshelves or attach CD stands.

As for the recreation area, this place will be intended not only for your daughter, but also for her friends.

If the room is not large enough and you do not have the opportunity to place a wide sofa or a large number of chairs here, this issue can be solved with the help of soft ottomans or bedding with decorative pillows. In this area of a small room you can put a TV or stereo system.

In the dressing room you need to place a wardrobe or rack for clothes. They should also be comfortable and functional: make sure they have enough departments and drawers. Be sure to have a department dedicated to hangers.

In the personal care area, you need to place a large mirror, as well as a dressing table or shelves for perfume, cosmetics, combs, jewelry and other items necessary for a girl.

Sometimes this area is combined with a dressing room: for example, you can choose a wardrobe with mirrored doors, and put all the necessary things in one of the drawers.

Surely your daughter is interested in something: in this case, be sure to provide an area for her hobby. Depending on what your child is interested in, you can put musical instruments, an easel for drawing, exercise equipment or a wall bars and other items in this area.

By the way, zoning a room is very important if you have more than one daughter and the room is intended for two teenage girls. Each of them should have their own personal space, equipped with everything necessary , so that there are no offenses or conflicts.

You can separate such areas using a cabinet, decorative curtain or screen. If the size of your room does not allow for separate areas for children, install a bunk bed, but provide each girl with her own workspace and enough space for relaxation.

Room for a teenager 12 - 14 years old

At the age of 12, a girl begins to grow up. Favorite toys are already gathering dust in the corner, and the daughter begins to take care of her appearance, she gets her first cosmetics and other personal items
Therefore, a room for a teenager aged 12-14 should be arranged in such a way that there is plenty of space for relaxation and activities.

Important: Parents are obliged to provide psychological comfort for their daughter and make all the necessary conditions for her normal physical development.

If a girl likes romantic colors, then the main tone of the decoration can be made, for example, pink. But it should be dim, since at this age the child’s psyche is unstable, and active influence from the outside is extremely undesirable.

If the girl is active and energetic, monochromatic interior design may seem gloomy to her.

Tip: Help your daughter choose a good combination of colors that matches her personality traits.

Photo wallpaper will help revive the room. They may contain images of nature, favorite heroes, film actors, pop singers or other idols.

Lighting plays an important role in a teenager's room.

Tip: Make many lights so that they illuminate each work area. The intensity should be varied at the child's discretion.

Ceiling decoration

As for the choice of material for arranging the ceiling in a teenage girl’s room, it can be harmoniously combined with the design of the walls, or its style can be very different. Ask your child what she would like to see above her head when she falls asleep and wakes up.

Perhaps she wants to admire the starry sky or the passing clouds, or maybe she generally wants the color of the ceiling to be a solid white color.

As for choosing a ceiling chandelier, invite your child to go to the store together and choose, but try not to choose too much on massive and pompous models, choose something light and beautiful. Today, manufacturers offer original forms of lamps that will fit perfectly into any design style and add a special zest to it.

Rooms for teenagers 15 – 17 years old

Rooms for teenagers aged 15 to 17 years
The room of a girl aged 15 to 17 years is a private closed area. Here, no longer a child, but not yet an adult, creates his own space where only the closest people have access.

Important: When parents enter their 16-year-old daughter’s room, it seems to them that it is a complete mess: posters and photos with some faces, something written on the walls, an always unmade bed. But for a girl, everything is in its place, and if the bed is not made, then that’s how it should be.

The rooms of teenagers aged 15-17 for adults are an endless mess. But, if a girl chooses the right furniture, and her parents help her with this, then her space will become more tidy.

Beautiful interior for a teenager's room

Tip: Don’t insist on choosing super beautiful curtains and other textiles. If a girl wants to make everything in her room as simple as possible, so be it.

Teenagers at this age love to sit on the floor, even while doing their homework. Therefore, you need to lay a warm carpet on the floor or install electric floor heating.

Practical approach

If style is the most important criterion for a girl, then the safety of the furniture, practicality and environmental friendliness of the materials used are more important to you.

Let's determine what properties must be present in the furniture you choose:

strong and durable materials (do not forget that even in adolescence, your child can get injured, for example, by jumping on an insufficiently strong bed. Therefore, it is better to foresee in advance that your daughter can sometimes indulge in pranks);
safety (this concerns materials that are harmless to health, the absence of sharp or protruding corners, fire resistance and other properties);
multifunctionality (this property will be especially useful in small rooms. For example, cabinets should contain as many departments and shelves as possible. Some pieces of furniture can be used for several purposes, for example, a folding sofa will serve as a place to sleep and fit perfectly into the relaxation area).

When arranging such a room, do not forget that it should be as spacious as possible, because the child needs free space.

Pay attention to the possibility of ventilating the room, think about the issue regarding drafts. A girl's room should be warm and cozy; the required temperature can be maintained using an air conditioner.

Also make sure that the room for a teenage girl has soundproofing properties, because she will want to have privacy with her friends or listen to loud music, so this will be useful not only for her, but also for your entire family.

Do not forget that a room for a teenage girl should be as comfortable as possible, and for this it must contain all the necessary pieces of furniture. Be sure to include a bed (or sofa), wardrobe, desk and mirror.

Attention! In order to ensure maximum free space, use light and mobile furniture - in this case, your daughter will always have the opportunity to move or move it, freeing up part of the room.

Speaking of practicality, it is also worth thinking about the lighting features of such a room . The light should be bright enough to allow your daughter to concentrate on her work.

It is advisable to place several lamps throughout the room, since maximum lighting is needed not only in the work area, but also near the cabinets: this way your daughter will be able to get important things from the distant shelves without straining her eyes to see them.

Provide enough light near the mirrors : she will probably approach them many times during the day, and in the evening such an area needs to be illuminated.

Tip: to emphasize the style of a room for a teenage girl, you can use original lamps with several lighting options, and also install beautiful neon lighting in the furniture.

Do not forget that the lamp should also be present near the bed . For example, you can buy a floor lamp or place a lamp on your bedside table. This is very important, because your daughter will probably want to read before bed.

Small rooms for teenagers

For every young beauty, it is important to have free space so that she can try on her favorite dresses, practice dancing or yoga.

Tip: If the apartment is small, then you should use modular furniture to design the room: folding sofas, beds with gas lift, mobile consoles and drawers inside poufs.

Usually, in small rooms of teenagers, only the essentials for the owner are left; the rest of the furniture and objects are removed to other rooms.

Important: Things that a girl rarely wears should be moved to a large dressing room or put away on the mezzanine.

How to make a beautiful and comfortable room design for a teenager

For every teenager, their own room is a separate world. Here young people study, have fun, communicate with friends and immerse themselves in their romantic and not so romantic dreams.

You should never think about designing and decorating a room for a teenager alone. The main decision and the last word in the layout of a room for a teenager should always remain with the owner of the room. You should not force pink and plush style on a girl if she wants to live in a black and white space. Things get even more complicated when you need to think through the interior of a room for two teenagers who have different tastes and wishes.

What a budding designer needs to know

Teenagers are a very broad concept. This includes those who have barely turned 12-13 years old, and those who have already celebrated their 16th anniversary. It is worth considering that decorating a room for a teenage boy or girl is not done for one year, which means that after 3 years a completely different person will live in the room, with completely different needs.

Of course, a lot depends on the size of the room. If the room is large, then you can give free rein to your fantasies. And if the room is very small, then it may not be possible to do without podiums and beds installed on the second level of modular furniture.

In the podiums you can hide spacious drawers for storing linen, shoes and books. Also, with their help, it is easy to organize ergonomic traveling beds. Modular furniture allows you to create a sleeping area above a work area or a sofa for relaxation.

Photo wallpapers come in very handy in the interior of teenage rooms. They help young people express their style, create the atmosphere of a night city or a fairy-tale forest. When choosing photo wallpaper for a teenage boy or girl’s room, you can pay attention to the most daring designs. In small rooms, correctly selected photo wallpapers expand the space.

What to look for when choosing a design

When choosing tables, chairs and cabinets for a teenager’s room, you should pay attention not only to appearance. First of all, they must be environmentally friendly materials, and then (but no less important), they must be practical. Young people will not tremble over tables and bedside tables; they, together with their friends, will mercilessly exploit everything that comes to hand.

This also rocks the floor covering. Of course, carpet materials are warm and cozy, but if the room will be used for more than just sleeping, then it is better to choose something more durable. A good idea is a wooden floor, complemented by removable rugs. Pink furniture for a teenage girl’s room and black cabinets for a young man will look equally beautiful on wood.

If you need an indestructible floor, you should pay attention to a polyurethane coating. A 3D floor will look especially impressive. With its help, realistic three-dimensional images are recreated. You can use the seabed, a sports lawn, a cliff or a rocky ramp as a basis.

Lighting in a teenager's room requires a special approach. It is very important to properly light the work area. It looks interesting when different principles are used in different zones. Unusual effects can be achieved using LED lamps and strips.

Selection of furniture items

We have already talked in our article about what is the best furniture to choose for a teenage girl’s room, but it will be better if you opt for transformable furniture, which is easily adjustable depending on the child’s height and other parameters. For example, when a large group of friends comes to visit, a small coffee table can easily turn into a dining table where you can drink tea. And after the guests leave, it will again turn into a compact, convenient table. It is also very beneficial for small rooms to choose a bed with drawers; you can hide a lot of small things there.

You can also invite your child to set up a small podium, under which you can hide a bed during the day, which is very convenient for small apartments. But on the podium itself you can place a desk or dressing table. As for all sorts of decorative little things in the form of an ottoman, a carpet and other elements, let your girl choose everything herself. They will add a special touch of elegance and homely warmth to the room, which is so lacking on a cold winter day, when you want to wrap yourself up and sit in silence and, most importantly, warmth.

Arranging a teenage girl's room is not a very difficult task, the main thing is to take into account all the wishes of the owner of the room and everything will turn out just fine and you will definitely like the owner herself. You can give some useful advice and give examples so that she can choose the best option, rather than opting for the first one she comes across. Fortunately, modern manufacturers offer a large selection of materials for interior decoration and decoration.
