How to equip your teenager's​ room

There are different periods in life that everyone goes through. However, one of these periods is marked by very large changes in both mental and emotional state, as well as physical form. You may have guessed rightly by saying this period is called adolescence and is one of the most difficult stages in our lives.

If you currently have a teenager, you must have noticed that he or she goes through different phases (periods) that make them often change their tastes and moods. They tend to seclude and isolate themselves in their favorite refuge - their children's room. For teenagers, this room is truly a refuge, a place where they can relax and face the changes that are happening to them.

If you want to help your grown child feel as comfortable as possible in their shelter, then it's time to turn his nursery into a teenage room.

How to furnish a teenager's room?

It most definitely not going to be easy. However, we say this not to scare or discourage you, but because it is true. Adolescents are no longer children, but they are not adults either. They are in a period of great change and this affects their tastes.

One day they love their pink wardrobe or cot "sports car" and love the bright, cheerful colors of the walls, and the next, they love the dark colors, the posters of the metal bands and the strict dark furniture, a reminisce of the furniture from "Twilight".

It is not easy, but if you are patient enough and follow a pre-arranged plan, you may be able to reach a consensus when choosing most of the equipment in the room.

Start with the bed

The bed is the cornerstone of any children's room, and you know it. However, when it comes to choosing such an item for a teenager, you need to be warry of the chosen model, brand and size. It is not only expected that the bed you buy is only comfortable, but also large enough. Because adolescents grow extremely fast and if you do not take this fact into account, you may need to change the bed after only a few months.

Currently, teen beds available in stores are basically two types: single bed or double bed (person and a half).

The single bed

This type of teenage bed is very comfortable, takes up less space, offered at quite decent prices and a very wide variety of models, colors, sizes and even shapes of it are available. The downside is that it is relatively short and if your teen grows so rapidly, chances are high that he outgrows it in just a short while.

A person and a half

The type person and a half teenage bed is a practical and economical option. It is very comfortable, long and wide enough to comfortably accommodate both a 15-year-old teenager and a 20-year-old. The disadvantages of this type of bed are their higher price and the larger space they take up in the room.

• Zizito
• Stor and others

Moving on with the wardrobe

One of the biggest changes you will face is your adult child's sudden interest in fashion. Between the ages of 15 and 16, adolescents (both boys and girls) change not only their style of dress, but their tastes of colors, fabrics, and shapes. They become interested in fashion and buy their own clothes or with friends, imitating fashion icons or their favorite actors and singers. And this means that their room must have a large well-organized and easily accessible wardrobe.

Currently, the most modern wardrobes for children's rooms offer adaptive solutions to keeping the teenager's clothes always tidy and easy to sort. Adolescent wardrobes usually have two or three wings, several deep drawers and an additional superstructure, which can be purchased separately.

Popular brands:

• Amaya
• Stor
• Frozen
• Cars
• Paw Patrol and others

Think of chests of drawers

Drawers chests fit perfectly into the teen room, as they can perform several functions simultaneously. If the wardrobe is small and is not able to accommodate the fast growing stack of clothes, the chest of drawers has enough drawers and quite deep drawers to collect everything unnecessary.

If this problem does not exist, the teenager can put textbooks, notebooks and other things for school in a chest of drawers. And he can use it to store his favorite books, magazines, comics and diary (if he writes one). However, do not think that the chests of drawers for a teenage room are just children's furniture. Teenage chests of drawers have an attractive design, modern style and current colors and should be combined with any style of furniture.

Choose the desk and chair

A desk is a must for any teen room, as they are still students, even though they are older. This means you will spend many hours sitting at your desk getting your homework done.

When choosing a desk you need to take into account not only its colors and sizes, but how functional it is. It is good for this piece of furniture to be roomy enough to accommodate the PC (laptop), books and most importantly, be high enough to be able to maintain the correct posture of the child.

It is good to choose the chair with the teenager to make sure that it is comfortable and offer just the right posture and protection for the spine.

Fit with shelves

In a child's room, several shelves are never superfluous. Choose one or more small shelves to match the rest of the interior of the room and hang them on the walls. Rest assured that very soon your teenager will find something to fill them with.

Think about the decoration

Complete the equipment of the teen room by decorating it and adding a few more elements and accessories:

• Paint the walls in fresh or highly contrasting colors. Complete with wall stickers or place posters of teenager's favorite groups on the walls.
• Replace the children's carpet with a stylish and elegant carpet in light tones. It would be good to opt for a soft, thick and comfortable ground carpet. (Children of this age also like to lie on the ground while reading, studying or chatting on Facebook.)
• Place poufs or large decorative pillows on the ground so that your child's friends have a place to sit when they come to study together.
• Decorate the room with avant-garde artistic elements or place a decoration in a street style that teens really like.
• Look for original lamps, hangers and other interesting accessories to make the teen room unique.
• Buy a "Do Not Disturb" sign and place it on the door handle. So, this reminds you of the need to respect his privacy.
