Rethink the Attic

Located above a barn designed by Kylee Shintaffer is a magical bedroom your teen would adore, especially if they love to write! The rich paint makes heirloom beds feel new in this Montana home.

Say Bye to Boring Carpet

You won’t believe the drastic makeover blogger Tarina Lyell completed for her clients’ teenage daughter, Ella. Adding a stylish jute rug helps to camouflage ordinary wall-to-wall carpeting, and a Moroccan pouf can serve as extra seating or a comfy footrest. If you don’t have enough room for dedicated nightstands, pushing the bed into a corner and opting to place a desk on one side of the side of the bed is a great space saving solution. Same goes for the sweet Edison bulb light that’s swagged on a set of hooks on the opposite side of the bed.

Blogger Cristina Garay designed a rustic teen bedroom that has it all, including industrial-like sconces and eye-catching vintage accents. She notes that the white exposed “brick” backdrop above the headboard was actually created from temporary wallpaper. Between that and the built-in shelving unit beside the bed, there’s a lot of style and function packed into this footprint.

Mix and Match Textiles

With two glossy gray wall sconces, multiple prints and patterns on the bedding, and a fun leopard wallpaper, this room does it all without overwhelming the space. And speaking of fun prints, don't be afraid of mixing them as Studio DB boldly did in this bedroom—the wilder, the better.

Stick to the Classics

How sweet is this room for two? Blogger Jessica Bruno designed a calming space to unwind using timeless pieces like a brass bamboo mirror and classic white furniture.

Bunk Beds

Loft Bed

Interior designer Mary Jo Major of Rise Interiors designed this teen room around a loft bed that leaves room for a spacious desk underneath, as well as a cozy reading corner with a comfy armchair.

Add a Canopy

Canopy beds are cool no matter what, and a wild print makes one even more fun. But that's not all: Why use an end-of-bed bench when you could have a Lucite swing instead? Leave it up to Studio Heimat to knock this teen room out of the park.

Make a Statement Headboard

Arent & Pyke opted for modern, sculptural pieces that strike that very careful balance between playful and grown-up. From the striped table lamp to the wooden stool, graphic rug, linen bedding, and eye-catching rug, everything here feels both fresh and timeless. The Kelly Wearstler–upholstered headboard is both sophisticated and wild, while soft pink walls lighten the mood.

Hang Up String Lights

Blogger Stacy Risenmay also designed a boho space with a more minimal approach. A cozy sheepskin carpet makes getting out of bed each morning a little more pleasant, and string lights ensure that the space has a warm glow, even after hours. Again, having a small space doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice bedside storage. In lieu of a bulky nightstand, Risenmay hung two shelves, and they are the perfect place to stash small bedtime essentials.

Bring the drama! Blogger Bianca Hall designed this perfectly glamorous space: The artsy leopard wallpaper looks almost like paint, and it makes a major statement in this room. If you’re going to go big with a wall covering like this, consider keeping the bedding and other decorative accents a little more subdued.

Display Their Hobbies

In the Hawaiian bedroom of a 13-year-old, surfboards pay homage to his happy place. At the occupant's request, San Francisco-based firm NICOLEHOLLIS made it a place where he can hang out with friends. "No matter the age, we always ask our clients how they live," she says.

Wall Mural

Alcove Bed

Design by Erin Williamson Design

One way to make a teen bedroom feel more grown-up is to use a daybed that is comfortable enough to sleep on but can double as a hang out space by day. In this bedroom from Erin Williamson Design, a dreamy alcove daybed corner has Moroccan style with a Moorish-inspired cut-out, muted pink paint, an inlaid side table, and a mix of textiles.

Floral Ceiling

This teen room from Judith Balis Interiors is dressed up and full of glam touches like a crystal chandelier, jet black wall paint, a blingy gallery wall, and a dramatic ceiling covered in dreamy dark floral wallpaper in a giant rose pattern.

In conclusion, when it comes to teenage room decor, creativity knows no limits. Whether you're transforming an attic into a cozy hideaway or adding a splash of color with a vibrant wall mural, there are endless possibilities to create a space that truly reflects your teen's personality. So say goodbye to boring carpet and hello to a room that will inspire, relax, and provide a sanctuary for your teenager. Remember, incorporating their hobbies and interests, mixing and matching textiles, and adding unique touches like a statement headboard or hanging string lights will make their room a place they can truly call their own. With these ideas in mind, let your imagination run wild and watch as your teen's room transforms into a stylish and inviting haven.
