Teenage Section - Bedrooms for Teenagers

Allow your son/daughter to have a “big say” in the design of his/her teenage bedroom. Try not to dictate your ideas – but obviously you need to have a good idea of the final outcome that your teenager has in mind. If costs are not a problem, enjoy discussing together such things as teenage designer wallpaper, teenage light fittings and floor coverings, teenage drapes, blinds and curtains, and, of course, teenage bedroom furniture and furnishings of all descriptions. If costs, or individual abilities, come into the scenario, - encourage your teenager to try his/her hand at some artwork on the walls or furniture. Floor carpets may be discarded in favour of sanding and waxing floorboards. And after all the upheaval, shop around well together to find the appropriate lighting and window coverings that will “sit nicely” in your teenager’s own special room.

Optional extras you may wish to consider for your teenager’s room: computer with internet connection, computer games and computer teaching programs, television, CD players and DVD players.
